Have You Seen Her?

If you have read Karen Rose's books starting with the first book "Don't Tell" you can tell that her progression of story telling is vastly improving. I do not mean to imply that the other two were not good books, because they were but this book had me up late trying to finish it. I have read this book so much that I will probably have to buy another copy. She blended the right amount of suspense and romance to keep the reader interested in the book, but also caught your attention from the beginning to make you want to read more. If Karen should read this I must say congratulations because you have became one of my must have authors which puts you right there with J.D. Robb, Laurel K. Hamilton, Erica Spindler, Linda Lael Miller, Sharon Sala, Linda Howard, Lisa Jackson, Patricia Cornwell, Tami Hoag, Christine Feehan, and Sherrilyn Kenyon. Those are just a few of my favorite authors and my must have books.

A 5 plus star book

If You Haven't Read Ms. Rose You're Missing Out!!!

When I found out that Ms. Rose had a new read available, I ran out and picked it up right away. Ms. Rose is an author that does not disappoint she always delivers a fast paced read the combines great characterization, fast moving plot, and great chemistry between main characters. Kristin Mayhew is a very talented and successful prosecutor who has just recently had a very bad day. She has just lost a case and it has hit close to home. She is on her way home when she has a run in with a dark handsome stranger that she tries to pepper spray. She has just tried to take down Detective Abe Reagan. Abe at first can't believe her, but then he gets a good look and takes a hit to the solar plexus. He knows Ms. Mayhew and she managed to wake his desires again and at the same time his protective instincts. He walks her out to her car only to find that she has a flat tire. He is in the process of getting the spar out of the trunk when he finds three boxes with pictures of dead men on the lids. Now he and Kristin are plunged into a case that seems to have no end, and yet the body count keeps rising. Kristin now finds herself with a secret admirer who wants to make right the cases that she failed to win. He has nothing but respect for her and has no intention of hurting her. He wants to help her and he calls himself her "humble servant." Abe Reagan is a good detective and his first case after coming back from deep undercover case is not only a powder keg but also it involves the first woman to awaken his heart after the tragic loss of his wife Debra. Abe now can't keep himself distant from Kristin. She has touched him in away he can't walk away from. She is tough, but at the same time he sees her for who she is. She has been hurt in her past and he wants to help her heal. Together they tackle a case that has more twist and turns the most mountain roads, and at the same time they can't help but act on the mutual attraction neither can hide nor fight. Will they be able to find the killer before he kills again? And will Kristin find the courage to tell Abe about her past, or will she loose him as well when he finds out she can't be all that he needs? This was a great page turning read. Abe and Kristin have wonderful chemistry and their relationship is not only steamy, but sweet as well. It is equally balanced with the murder plot which manages to offer enough twists and turns without being redundant or overblown so the reader is guaranteed a well-rounded read. If you have not yet read Ms. Rose you have missed out on a very talented author and I highly recommend you pick up her latest effort. You won't be sorry. Official Reviewer for www.romancedesigns.com

Another winner by Rose!

ASA Kristen Mayhew has dedicated her life to putting criminals behind bars. Then someone decides to take the law into their own hands, killing the criminals that Kristen was unable to convict. Kristen herself is horrified by what the media has labeled the Vigilante Killer. After each murder, the killer sends Kristen a note along with a box that will lead the police to the grave of the victim. Though Kristen doesn't grieve for the criminals that have been murdered, nor does she condone anyone taking the law into their own hands. Detective Abe Reagen has returned to Homicide after five years undercover. After the brutal shooting of his wife six years before and watching her waste away for the five years following the shooting, Abe has only tried to forget. When he meets Kristen for the second time, he is free to let his feelings show. Though he knows that she's suffered heartache in her life, he also knows he can't let her go. Together they embark on a journey to find a killer who is killing killers and rapists. The race to find the killer is intensified when the family of one of the Vigilante Killer's victims vows to find out who the killer is. And the best way to find that out is through Kristen. I was very surprised who the killer was, but I thought it was very fitting. And the epilouge was perfect! Karen Rose is on my auto-buy list. This is her best book yet. There is a enough romance in the mix that it makes it great. Don't miss it!

An author who has quickly shot up on my auto buy list!!

Karen Rose just gets better and better. In I'm Watching You, proscuting attorney Kristen Mayhew finds herself the focus of a serial killer who calls himself 'your humble servant'. The only problem is, he's actually doing these killings as an almost favor to her--cases she's lost that had particularly nasty crimanal--mostly sex crimes. He leaves hints that he's watching her, even in her own home... Detective Abe Reagan is newly assigned to homicide from deep undercover, and finds himself pulled not only into the case of 'your humble servant', but also as prosecutor Mayhew's life. He can't help but admire the prosecutor, who's determined to be invlolved in every step of finding this killer who's doing her 'favors'. Abe and Kristen find themselves drawn to each other--but they both have obstacles in their past they have to overcome. But the intensity of a killer stalker quickly draws them closer, while they race to solve the case and save the next 'victim' from death. Karen Rose has done an incredible job with this book--it's her best yet! You find yourself admiring the cool prosecuter Kristen Mayhew, and falling in love with the wonderful Abe Reagan. The story pulls you in--and you find yourself almost rooting for the killer, the scum he's killing is so bad. But at the same time you wonder what's next? A compelling love story, a great group of supporting charachters (which includes Abe's family, and a hottie of a brother Aiden's whos' book I can only hope is on the horizon), a new twist on the vigillante killer....I loved it!! Kudos Ms. Rose!
