Goodreads New Orleans Series by Karen Rose - Goodreads

Suspense, danger, action, intense moments, and romance are combined to provide readers with a fabulous read in Beneath Dark Waters by Karen Rose…This riveting crime thriller, police procedural, and romantic suspense novel keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.”— Mystery & Suspense Some details were brushed over, such as the mole. This was obviously quite a big part of the story and the events that happened but it didn't have enough explanation or attention for me, which made the impact of what happened quite dull. An up-all-night, unforgettable tale of secrets, lies, and taut suspense. Readers will want to grab this one!”— New York Times bestselling authorCarla Neggers Blistering, high-octane suspense that never lets up.”— New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards The heart-stopping new thriller in the New Orleans series, from Sunday Times bestselling author Karen Rose.And, to hype up the tension, the major villain gets narration time as well.

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. When his son Elijah becomes the target of a kidnapping he hires Broussard Investigations to protect his son. Val is the assigned bodyguard.I discovered Karen Rose at the library about 16 years ago. I devoured every book they had and waited patiently each year for her new release. The plot is almost medieval: Val moves into Kaj’s home and transforms it into a fortress. The barbarians are on the outside, feverishly attempting to storm the castle. There is a pervasive sense of foreboding. This book was a trip! I am not sure how Rose keeps bringing fabulous stories that consistently offer a wonderful balance of suspense and romance. This one is a fabulous ride into the deep depths of the bayou and New Orleans. Fierce suspense and compelling romance…pure alchemy.”— New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz
