Reading SAY YOU'RE SORRY, all 614 pages, is a special way to spend a weekend. Again, Karen Rose hooked me from the first to the last page. She is a sterling writer of suspense with a touch of romance, capturing you instantly and holding your interest until the end. What a wild ride it is!

In Sacremento, petite and adorable Daisy, aka Eleanor Dawson, is on her way to celebrate her eight years of sobriety with a nice dinner with her best friend, Trish. Daisy has a prickling sensation and is aware she is being followed. She dashes into an alley, but is attacked by a man wearing a stocking over his face. Fighting his attempts to grab her, she uses her martial arts kicking him very hard in his crotch. As he starts to fall, she yanks a locket from his neck and escapes...

The attacker is a notorious serial killer and a monster. He selects his prey carefully by following his set rules. The chosen one must not be nice in his eyes, so he can teach her a lesson, and get her to say she's sorry. He lures his victims into his soundproofed basement and tortures them, physically and mentally. This killer also carves the word "Sydney" on his victims' bodies, as well as taking a keepsake from them...

The necklace Daisy pulls from her attacker may prove to be the evidence needed to solve a cold case that handsome FBI agent Gideon Reynolds has been following for years, and not just because of his job. When he was young, Gideon was held captive in a cult along with a young girl he's been searching for since his escape. The locket Daisy has from the killer is one of the lockets given to child brides of the cult he was in, and it may lead him to answers about his friend.

Daisy and Gideon have an instant connection. He becomes her bodyguard. Becoming close, they tell each other their deepest secrets from their similarly painful pasts... Their attraction is HOT - Gideon proves to be the perfect lover and protector. The storyline of SAY YOU'RE SORRY is compelling with action that never lets up. My highest recommendation and bravo to Karen Rose. Bring on the sequel. I'll be waiting!

Book Summary

An explosive new thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Death Is Not Enough and Every Dark Corner.

There's a serial killer on the loose, preying on vulnerable women. The only identifiable mark the killer leaves, are letters--sometimes one, sometimes two--all carved into the torsos of his victims. Together they spell "Sydney."

When he grabs Daisy Dawson, he believes he's found his next victim. But despite her small stature, she fights back with an expertise that quickly frees her. Before fleeing the scene, Daisy also manages to grab what proves to be crucial evidence: a necklace that she tears off the killer's neck.

The necklace is more than a trivial item--it's a link to a cold case that Special Agent Gideon Reynolds has been tracking for more than 17 years. With Daisy's help, Gideon finally has the opportunity to get closer to the truth than ever before.

But they might not get the chance, as the serial killer has a new target: Gideon and Daisy.
