3 Star
When her abusive husband nearly kills her and threatens to finish the job Mary Grace Winters knows she must get herself and her son away from him, as he is local police man she can expect no help from the authorities she is on her own.
Mary Grace and Robbie disappear.
7 years later her abandoned car is found the police open an investigation into her disappearance this time with a view to getting enough evidence to convict her husband of murder.
Rob Winters meanwhile realises that his wife had managed to escape him and make a fool of him he is determined to find her and make her pay.
Its a raise against time as to who will find Mary Grace and Robbie first.
A tense thriller that is fast paced with lots of violence.”
“This was a good, quick read. I like the author's writing style. She wrote her characters well and the story flowed nicely. I wouldn't mind reading more by her.”

“Enjoyed this book but found bits of it a bit soppy. However, a good read.”

“A good thriller. It did get a bit boring somewhere in the middle but all in all it was a pretty good read. The way the murders are committed and the way her husband closes in on her is very well written.”

“It was an interesting story about an abused wife who finally gets away from her husband and disappears. Eventually he finds out where she is and goes after her to get his son back, killing many people in the process. In the meantime, in her new life, the main character, Mary Grace/Caroline, has met a new man and fallen in love. The book sort of reminds me of the movie "Sleeping With The Enemy", and "Enough". The subject matter is disturbing because of all the women out there who really go through this. The only thing I really did not like about the story was the immature behavior of both Caroline and her new love interest, as well as all of the repeated sex and sappy romance references and discriptions in the book. I don't really care for that, but if that is what you like you will really like this book.”

After reading a Karen Rose novel, went out and purchased everything she wrote. Absolutely love her books. She jumped onto "Favorite Authors" List with super-sonic speed.
Karen Rose's debut book, "Don't Tell," is a must read for Romantic Suspense readers who like: {1} an amazingly strong heroine; {2} a hunky, flawed, but eventually comes to the rescue hero; {3} emotional and physical attraction between protagonists followed by spicy, heated love scenes; {4} suspense so intense that must jump up from chair and pace before can keep reading; {5} plenty of police procedural action as secondary characters try to catch the villain; {6} awesomely wonderful well-written and well-developed supporting characters; {7} realistic, funny, emotionally engaging dialogue; {8} great guffaws of laughter; and {9} copious tears. Not only is "Don't Tell" on my "to be re-read list," but it is already stored in the suitcase that contains the books that must end up on the imaginary deserted island that "Obsessive Readers Only" know about.

“Well-written and engrossing plot with engaging characters.

The villain is enough to make your skin crawl, and the romance is sweet. Nevertheless, Max and Caroline rub me the wrong way. Max is to quick to anger and wallow in self-pity, and Caroline tends to jump to conclusions. The secondary characters are the real highlight of the book, especially David, Dana and Steven. Looking forward to their books.
