Well everything I said in my review for Edge of Darkness is still true. Karen Rose does write amazing characters grabbing my heart and stomping on it, a frighteningly realistic world of criminals, law enforcement, and those who help the victims. It was great to go to Baltimore and see all the people and circle of friends with their changes, and babies! since the previous book there.

I loved learning more about Thorne and Gwyn and their backgrounds. Particularly, the story is entangled with Thorne's past and present. There is more detail on his defining life choices than on Gwyn's history. Primarily, Gwyn had a boyfriend gone bad, very bad; and before that, as a teen, she decided to do what she wanted rather than her parent's path. Thorne and Gwyn are partners with Lucy in a nightclub. I enjoyed seeing JD and Lucy in this story, also.

It is a little difficult to see so many people who have had horrific childhoods (or events) and the depraved minds of some of the villains. Why do the bad guys think they should be able to do whatever they want? At least, there is a balance here of people who are truly caring and have sacrificed much to help others. I cried a few times during Death is Not Enough because of the wonderfulness of some people.

I highly recommend this Romantic Suspense series . I look forward to every book, knowing each one will be very good, if not amazing. I love how smart and careful and trained these characters are. Each one is a new couple we get to know and love but often we also get to see old favorite people. The romances are carefully crafted with realistic human feelings and issues. I went right on after finishing this book to Say You're Sorry, which I am so lucky to have, and is releasing February 2019. It is about a family member we meet briefly in this book and starts a new Sacramento California set of stories.

This book had so many layers, so much of Thorne’s past coming back at him, with the ultimate bad guy just using the past to hurt Thorne. That alone would have been bad enough, but this bad guy started going after Thorne’s friends. I loved that none of them turned their back on Thorne, instead they closed ranks, everyone going to their strengths to help Thorne prove he was innocent and it took all of them doing their best to defeat this foe. You expect bad guys to be bad, but this one was horribl ...more
