I've enjoyed all the Willow Rose books. There are, here and there, little hints that English is not her mother tongue, but they aren't enough to detract from the good story Ms. Rose weaves.

Once again Karen Rose Smith wrote another terrific series.  This book as well as the others in the series will hold your interest throughout the book. Great romance!

Have You Seen Her is Karen Rose's 2nd book in the Romantic Suspense Series.  I really enjoyed the plot and the serial killer investigation.  However, although I loved Stephen in the first book I wanted to smack him upside the head more than once in this book!

Stephen was a jealous, tantrum throwing idiot more than once!  The author tried to give us a background that would allow for this and to an extent it did but being that he had only know Jenna for a short time I can't figure out why she would want him.  He kept acting like a jerk and at one point he left Jenna waiting in a parking lot even though he knew she was in danger because he was too busy throwing another tantrum.  He'd apologize and Jenna would take him back - now I might have been able to accept that if they had a solid relationship or past to backup why she didn't want to give up on him but nope it was just because she was SO attracted to him.

I did however love the story with Stephen and his children and all three kids really added to the story.  I also liked Helen and really enjoyed Father Mike's character.  The serial killer details were well written (and although I knew what the twist was going to be by the 50% point) I still really enjoyed it.

Another good story, I just wish her heroes didn't act like jerks.  They are good about apologizing but how about a little less bad behavior so I can really get behind the couple.

Quick Summary
Trying to start over, PI Paige Holden has moved to Baltimore and is trying to cope with her attack. But when a client is shot and killed right in her arms, Paige knows there's some truth to Elena's claims to her husband's innocence. Her investigation leads her to Prosecutor Grayson Smith who arrives just in time to save Paige's life. As the two work together to find out who framed Elena's husband they begin to uncover a conspiracy so large that those involved will do anything to keep it secret.

What I Liked
As usual, Karen Rose kept me guessing with action and twists all the way to the end. Considering the length of the book this one only covers a week or so. There's a lot of action and pacing is great. I liked both Grayson and Paige; they're both so loyal and considerate and honorable. Though their attraction is immediate, I still found myself believing in their feelings for each other and I was happy to see them together. They each have had hard lives and they deserve happiness. I loved the Carter family and hope to see more of them in the future as well as more of Stevie. This book really made things rough on Stevie and I want to see her find someone to lean on after everything she's been through. As a side note I found myself strangely captivated by Adele and Darrin's story. After each time they appeared I wanted to come back to them. I don't know what about them was so magnetic but I would have loved more on them.

What Needed Work
I guess this isn't a bad thing but the list of all those involved just kept getting bigger and bigger. I feel like each book Rose has written is trying to top the previous one and it's resulting in these huge conspiracies. I still like them but I feel like I have to take some time before starting the next one. These books are heavy and this one is no different. It seemed like everyone of the main characters has had this horrible, tragic life. I just wanted one character that's had at least an ok life.

Without getting too wordy, as Karen would put it, her books are quick reading, can't put it down quality and she paints a picture with words that are one of the best. Have read two of her books in two days and need to get some quality sleep. Really recommend her works as others have.

Another great book in the Zone series! I loved Sam and Rose as a couple. Also, the cruise ship was a fun, romantic setting and the mystery added quite a few unexpected plot twists.

I am not going to give a summary of the content - other reviewers have done that to a sufficient degree and very well.

What we have here is a prime example of excellent story-telling. Karen Rose is one of my favourite authors and has, again, delivered the goods. This book marks the beginning of a new series of books connected by re-appearing characters. Karen Rose's writing style is fluid, exciting and her stories are fast-paced. I enjoyed the interaction between hero and heroine, but I what I liked best is the fact that Rose does not only write from the hero/heroine's point of view Rather, we actually get an insight into the killer's motivation and background. That fact brings the book to life even more and it creates a wonderfully multi-faceted story.

I just finished and now I'm anxiously awaiting the next installment. I've read all of Karen's previous books and this is my favorite one yet. I look forward to seeing where things go from here.

I love Rose Gordon's books.  I have read several of her series, but I must say. the Banks Brother's Brides series, has been the best.  You need to read them in the order that they are written.  This book was a little different.....it had a twin issue.  Fun, entertaining and easy reading!

Karen does it again.  These two books pull you in to their story.  You can't put them down.  Even though they make you cry they are the best.

April's Promise is another incredibly beautiful romance from Karen Rose Smith. The strength and depth of her characters are matched by the strong and believable plot.
