Freed was as fantastic as #1 and #2.... Carly Phillips has really showcased how you can regain a life after your childhood ripped away, I have really enjoyed the Rosewood Bay series and Freed was no exception.Juliette the misplaced sister has been used, manipulated and lied to by her father all of her life so when she discovers that she's actually not an only child and finds the strength to leave the smothering, lonely life in the city it's great watching her flourish and stand on her own two feet.When he learns that she is going to visit her sisters who she doesn't even know he hires a private detective to watch over her... Unbeknownst though does he realize that he was going to fall for her.Afraid to admit the truth he puts his relationship at risk especially since she has trust issues. though how will the girl he's possibly falling for react when she finds out why he approached her in the first place. It is enchanting to watch this story unfold and powerful to watch them work through the deception.I am so intrigued and looking forward to #4

Freed was another great addition to the Rosewood Bay Series by Carly Phillips. I was totally intrigued with this story and I read it in one day…actually a couple of hours.

This is a fairly quick read but in no means is it rushed or missing anything. I thought the storyline was captivating and the characters were easy to fall in love with. This book had it’s emotional side as well. There are some topics that have a heavy feel but nothing that will bring the reader down. It just might hit close to home for some people.

I was truly excited to read this story after reading Fearless (Book 1) and Breathe (Book2) and this book didn’t disappoint at all. I was looking forward to reading about the long lost sister to Halley and Phoebe. I was a little nervous that I wouldn’t like Juliette just because she comes from wealth and I was afraid she would be snotty. Thankfully I was completely wrong and absolutely loved her character. I thought she was a strong heroine and I loved how she came into herself once she took her life back for herself.

Freed is the third book in the Rosewood Bay Series. It is a interconnected standalone novel told in Dual POV in the third person. As I recommend with all interconnected novels, I would suggest reading these books in order, that way you can get the whole story about these siblings. I thought the pace and flow of this story worked perfectly. Some might consider this story an insta love story, yes things move rather quickly for Juliette and Braden but it worked for this couple. I loved how she jumps right into the story without adding in all the extra filler.

In Freed we follow Braden and Juliette. Juliette is the long lost sister of Halley and Phoebe. Her dad took her away when she was young and kept her in New York, sheltering her from the world and her family. (Sisters) That is until she comes across some information that her dad was hiding. Upset, she confronts her dad and decides she is heading to Rosewood Bay to finally meet her sisters, against his wishes. Her dad not happy with her decision, hires Braden to keep an eye on her. Braden is a local PI who runs his own business. When he is hired by Juliette’s dad all he can think about how that money will help with his dad. Little did he know Juliette was a game changer. Can these two find their HEA?? What happens when secrets are revealed?? Can Juliette forgive and forget??? Read this book to find out.

I would definitely recommend this book to everyone. If you are a fan of Carly Phillips you don’t want to miss this gem of a book.!!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2018
I’ve quite enjoyed my journey through Rosewood Bay with the Ward sisters, and this jaunt with Juliette was no different. These books are all on the shorter side and lighter than my typical reads, but I’ve found myself looking forward to reading each of them and can’t wait to delve into some of the secondary characters as the series continues.

After reading Halley and Phoebe’s stories, I was eager to find out more about the mysterious third Ward sister. Juliette was just as fantastic as her older sisters and had the same magnetism that seemed to draw people to her with little effort. I appreciated how she never took her fortunate past for granted, even when she realized how deeply manipulative her father had been throughout her life. She always seemed to appreciate what she had and still give herself the room to be angry about other circumstances of her life. For someone who had been incredibly sheltered throughout her life, Juliette seemed to be quite well-adjusted when she finally struck out on her own two feet.

Braden’s story was just as devastating as Juliette’s. His losses may have been different, but they were no less profound. I did struggle – as did he – with his reluctance in telling Juliette the circumstances surrounding their initial interactions, though I understood why he was hesitant to lose either of the things that were becoming vitally important in his life. Otherwise, he was a flawless partner to Juliette; he let her spread her wings without inhibition but was there to provide her shelter when she needed a safe place to land.

One of my favorite things about these Rosewood Bay stories is how Ms. Phillips puts her characters in each other’s lives when they are both struggling with something life-changing. Giving Juliette and Braden each their own journey to acceptance and healing independent of their story together added an opportunity to demonstrate how wonderfully they worked together and supported each other in the hardest moment of their lives. I particularly loved the subplot with Braden’s dad, it was heartbreaking and lent an interesting dynamic to the book.

My only wish for this book would be a more impactful climax. Considering everything that happened in such a short time, it seemed lacking to me. I had hoped for a much more significant fallout and resulting reconciliation.

FREED is the third book in Carly Phillips’ Rosewood Bay series. These books are interconnected standalones and do not need to be read in order or comprehension. Each book gives enough information on the other characters to pique an interest in reading their stories without giving enough away to spoil them. FREED is written in third-person limited perspective, alternatively following Juliette and Braden.

Carly Phillips continues to impress me with her to the point writing. I easily fall in love with her characters and find ways to connect with their struggles and triumphs. Though I would have loved a little more closure at the end of this book, I still find her pacing appropriate for the stories she tells.

In my opinion the story felt forced, sometimes rushed and other times stilted. Maybe I expected to much. But even for light reading this was not really enjoyable.
