Silent Scream (Romantic Suspense #11) 
I had seen Karen Rose mentioned recently in the same sentence as Tess Gerritsen and Karin Slaughter, both authors I enjoy, so thought I'd give a different author a try. I didn't realise when I started reading it that the main characters had appeared in her previous books.The story begins with an arson attack on a new condo, resulting in two deaths. The cuplrits are being watched and become the target of a blackmailer who uses them to achieve his own ends. Olivia Sutherland is a homicide cop
In this book we have a group of teenagers who set fire to a condo they thought was empty. But when they see a teenage girl pounding on an upstairs window, it's too late to save her. They don't know that someone is watching them, recording their every move, until they are being blackmailed. Detective Olivia Sutherland and her partner Kane are the lead investigators in the case which is a clearly arson. Olivia has to work closely with David Hunter, the firefighter who tried to rescue the girl.

Narrated by Margarite GavinOne of the worst books I've read in a long time. The narration was grating. The plot was boring. The writing was poor and in desperate need of a good editor. The "romantic tension" was pathetic although the two protagonists are the only things that kept me reading to the end. Junk.
I picked this book up because it won a RITA award and I'm exploring a variety of romance novels. I enjoy a good mystery and suspense, but despite the accolades, I am not enjoying this book that much. I'm about a third of the way through and will push on just a bit further. Surely, it gets batter? For starters, there's almost too much going on. I'm losing track of suspects and side characters. I also find the hero, David Hunter, a little unbelievable because he's such a saint. He performs all
Another awesome, intricately plotted book by Karen Rose. I always marvel at the ideas that KR comes up with--her villains are so dastardly yet clever! Many times while reading the book I said to myself "Ahhhh, that's so evil yet clever! You just have to admire how her mind works! This one is a little unlike her other books, maybe not as gruesome, no real tortures going on here, although there is some violence. It's all about blackmail, extortion, that kind of thing, so if you're a bit squeemish
I think I may be done with this author. While she writes a pretty good mystery and the action is good, I find the romance part of her books interfere with the mystery - like she can't decide what she wants to be - a bodice ripper or a good action/mystery writer. The two don't meld well and the two books I've read are very predictable.

Karen Rose continues to prove why she's one of my favorite authors. She has delivered another heartwarming yet gut wrenching suspenseful novel. This one features David Hunter and Olivia Sutherland. We first met David in KR's book Don't Tell and we first met Olivia in Count to Ten. Both of them have appeared in a couple other of KR's books as well. David has had an unrequited love for Dana Dupinsky (heroine in Nothing To Fear) for years. He and Olivia meet up at Mia's wedding two and a half yearsI had seen Karen Rose mentioned recently in the same sentence as Tess Gerritsen and Karin Slaughter, both authors I enjoy, so thought I'd give a different author a try.
