Say You're Sorry

Say You're Sorry
Sacramento Book 1
Karen Rose
February 12, 2019

FBI Special Agent Gideon Reynolds did not have a conventional upbringing. Raised in a cult in Northern California, his mother smuggled him out when he was thirteen, and he never saw her again. It is not a bit of history he is keen on sharing, but being guarded has not gotten him any closer to what he really wants: a family.

Daisy Dawson lived a sheltered childhood. Her father, a former military man, believed that the woman he loved and her daughter were being hunted, so he took extreme measures to keep his family safe. But despite his best efforts, Daisy is done being scared. New to Sacramento, she is ready to jump headfirst into life--until she is attacked one night.

Gideon is caught unawares by Daisy, who is unlike any victim he has ever met. But the attacker is far from finished, and tracking him will threaten to pull Gideon back to the world he fought so hard to leave.



Say You're Sorry brings us to another city with a story full of suspense and mystery. Daisy has a connection to the Baltimore series but this can be read as a complete standalone with no confusion. Which, I just have to say, I absolutely love how Ms. Rose has been able to connect twenty some books together in some way or another and yet it's never in a confusing or pointless way. If you haven't read her previous books you won't even know that there's a character she's already created, and if you have read them then you get to have a moment of joy when you see a character you once loved in their own book. 

Along with Daisy we're introduced to Gideon Reynolds, FBI agent and ex-cult member. Their journey takes us a on a crazy ride on the hunt for a crazed killer and the answers to the mystery surrounding the members still trapped in the same cult Gideon escaped many years ago. The story is intriguingly full of mind-boggling suspense and take-your-breath-away moments that will leave have you completely captivated. And of course there's the added bonus of getting to swoon over how possessive Gideon can become with Daisy. 

This author will always be an instant one-click for me and every book she writes gets a huge recommendation from me. If you haven't read her books before you are just downright crazy and should fix that by reading this one. Her Romantic Suspense books are some of the best out there.
