Deadly secrets lie beneath the murky waters of the Louisiana bayou in this pulse-pounding new romantic suspense novel from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Karen Rose. But it also examines the notion that family can extend beyond relatives—Val and Kaj and those in their orbit create a self-chosen family over the course of some agonizing weeks. The new ADA in town is here partly to start cleaning up the corrupt players on the force which is one of the reasons Broussard left the police. If you like contemporary romances with lots of suspense and danger, then this book is one to check out. She perfected the bad guys with all of the creepiness and meanness that draws you into the depths of the story.

Beneath Dark Waters by Karen Rose - Books - Hachette

The two main characters, Val and Kaj, were developed with heart and kindness, plus the growth of steamy heat and simmering love interest tempered the ugliness surrounding them. He is guilt-ridden, but doesn’t waste time skipping the dubious protection of NOPD and goes straight to Broussard’s. Even when the nine-year-old Isaac was questioning Val I thought no nine year old would have such questions especially for an adult I know they have precocious children but really?Val and Kaj were immediately attracted, having met through mutual friends, and being thrown together just faned those flames. I loved how the book was longer than the average thriller as it gave us chance to dig deeper into the plot. I was unaware the it was the 2nd in a series however, I don't think it made any difference, I happy I can now read the 1st one! He’s also working a high-profile celebrity assault case that is getting publicity across the country. She has been translated into twenty-three languages, and her books have placed on the New York Times, the Sunday Times (UK), and Germany's der Spiegel bestseller lists.

It was good and I know other people would enjoy this but for me there were things missing in a book that I would really enjoy and the story did not flow well in places. Rose even references Scarlett from the Cincinnati series, which, for me, was one of my favorite parts of the book.She glanced at Elijah, who still slept deeply, before turning her screen so that Kaj could see it more easily. I read the first book of the New Orleans series before reading Beneath Dark Waters, and I found that the same patterns/themes carried across. She also champions Jace who as a teen had a tough lot in life already even down to his part in Elijah’s kidnapping attempt.
