I absolutely love this romantic suspense series by Karen Rose. You Can't Hide was another hit for me. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It has wonderful characters. The hero is very appealing and protective, and the heroine is intelligent and resilient. Both are carrying some baggage, but it makes them all the more interesting. I can't wait to get started on the next book in the series.

Weak thriller , too many dead bodies in a very short time makes the story unrealistic.
Tess Ciccotelli is a psychiatrist and someone is systematically destroying her career and her life.
She meets detective Aidan Reagan assigned to the first case when one of her patients commits suicide but Reagan is not buying the suicide story (naturally). He thinks she is cold, she thinks he is arrogant and subsequently there is an instant attraction.And they fall in love.

Chilling Madness and Sizzling Heat
Psychiatrist Tess Ciccotelli isn't well liked by the cops after testimony she once provided sent a child killer to a psych ward instead of under a needle. Maybe that's why Aidan Reagan gives her such a cold shoulder and shows such disdain for her when she shows up at the scene of a suicide of one of her patients. Tess, stricken by the loss of her patient, diligently ignores him, understanding his hostility and having too hard a time coping with the tragedy More...

The plot grabs you from the very first page and just doesn't let up. Tess Ciccotelli faces so many dilemmas in this book, she needs to protect her patients but if she hands over any information on them then she is letting them down in the worst possible way.
You Can't Hide has a romantic element too as Tess and Aiden fight each other for so long until they finally have to give in to what they both want. This obviously adds an extra element to Aiden's role as a detective, does it make it hard More...

Very well-written and unpredictable. The main characters were very likable and easy to relate to. They're both flawed and both have issues, which is refreshing in a genre where the characters sometimes seem too perfect to be real. They had a lot in common, which is also great; their relationship makes sense and they would still have been compatible had they met under normal circumstances.

Well, when I was told that the books by Karen Rose were Romantic Suspense stories I thought “No Way” these are pure murder-mystery with a lot of suspense anyhow it doesn’t matter because they are Attention-Grabbing, Scary and Downright Gripping, Karen Rose is a stylish teller of tales.
I have not as is usual for me read them all in sequence, it does not spoil it as such but as there are characters in the books that make appearances in all the books it is better to read them in order, I found More...

Up til the end, which got over-the-top and implausible, I thought this was excellent. The balance of suspense and romance is just right and I really liked the heroine, who is competent and strong, yet endearingly flawed. It can be hard to write a psychiatrist/psychologist character without making them too good to be true.
As with all of Rose's books, the violence level/body count is high. Most of it is less graphic than her others though, except for a few gruesome scenes.

Karen Rose's books always have me guessing who the "bad guy" is, and more than not, I don't guess right. I love how the author does dialogue with all of the characters in her stories, and this books didn't disappoint. In this book, Tess and Aidan's relationship (from Aidan's point of view) develops from hate, to tolerate, to begrudgingly admire, to likes and eventually to love. The secondary characters in Ms Rose's books always make for a good story as well...you usually end up seei

Oh, there’s definitely a pattern emerging.
This was by far the best book in this quasi-series. Masterfully done suspense, great buildup, and wonderfully twisted villain vied for attention alongside two wonderful lead characters. Neither side of the plot was dominant, they were nicely and masterfully intertwined, complementing each other, pushing the story forward at a nice, steady pace.

Tess Ciccotelli, a psychiatrist, is being set up to look like she’s played a role in the deaths of her patients. Aidan Reagan, a Chicago police detective, was assigned to the case involving her first patient’s death and soon realizes Tess isn’t to blame. However, he’s having a tough time trying to protect her and her patients when Tess insists on protecting their privacy. And, things get complicated when the relationship between the two gets…well, complicated.

One of the indicators that a series is good is when the author keeps you connected to earlier characters while still moving the series forward and devoting the current book to the current story instead of rehashing the past stories. Some authors do this perfectly while some are unable to do it at all, driving me to give up on the series completely.

This one is yet another winner from Ms Rose.... I'll admit to being a little wary about starting this one as I find the plot device of doctor-patient privileges to stall investigations trite, or overused, but Ms rose has the ability to tell her story in unique and well thought out ways so much so that stories you might have heard hundreds of times before, sound new and exciting coming from her! Her writing is both potent as well as addicting, and you'll have a hard time putting this one down des

Mais um policial de Karen Rose, este com bastante romance à mistura, o que não me fez prender tanto como o anterior. A história é interessante e com contornos que me agradaram: a manipulação e o jogo psicológico usado pelo assassino são o ponto forte da história.
O que menos me agradou foi o papel da psiquiatra, tão boazinha e sempre a pensar em proteger os seus doentes mesmo quando a sua vida é posta à prova. A ingenuidade sempre me pareceu falsa. Também a relação entre Tess e Aidan m More...

With twists and turns throught out the book you are never quite sure what is coming next. The twists were often unexpected and the plot is not a story which can be guessed unlike some other crime novels.
Rose has created a book which leaves you wanting more and in fact the 500 odd pages of the book does not seem long enough.

I loved this book! Psychotic killer and a love story to boot. Really I couldn't ask for more. This book was full of suspense and I was so shocked when the killer was revealed. I honestly didn't see this plot twist coming. Which as an avid reader it's hard to find something like this. All the books I've read by Karen Rose have been shocking an amazing. This is an author with a true talent. However, I wish I could figure out the proper reading order of the books that involve the the Regan family.

Absolutely dire. Sub-grisham-esque, ludicrously overwrought & convoluted plot crossed with crass romantic fiction. The vast majority of the middle of this book comprises mind-numbingly tedious sex scenes between protagonists with the emotional maturity of 14 year olds. Add in some oh so not surprising nor shocking revelations of gender / sexual orientation & this feels like a time-warp - I checked the print date at least twice because I couldn't believe it could be so recent.

Karen Rose can write some romantic suspense and this book - along with Count TO Ten - are top of the charts great. Like Count to Ten, both the hero and heroine are in perfect sync. Tess is strong yet vulnerable. Our hero is a true no non-sense type. The story line moves along and the book is full of surprises. Great book!

Overall, I enjoyed this book. So why did I give only 4 stars? Because it was so fucking obvious. The thing is, I knew the killer around 400 pages before the end. And that pissed me off. A lot! The actions, the deaths and all, it was so obvious who killed them. The only reason why I still kept go on reading was a) I like Karen Rose's writing style, b) it was still enjoyable even though I still have probs with Tess (loved Aidan though) and c) I wanted to know why. And there was Vito and I really l

I started up on Ms. Rose's books some time ago, and I really enjoyed this series. It was serious but not too serious. I liked her character development and the storyline was not frivilous. I have seen that she has kept going, so I'm seriously considering picking up more as soon as I can.

Saw this book on the "Best Romantic Suspense" List here on GoodReads (#14). I had never read this author so I thought I'd give one of her books a read. The plot was complicated and a little far-fetched for my taste. I liked it enough to sample another book in the future.

I had never heard of this book or this author but I received it as a gift and really enjoyed it. It was a fun romantic thriller where everyone had a motive. You also didn't know who was going to be the next one to die. It was an easy read with lots of sexual tension between the two main characters, Tess the psychiatrist who is the target of the killer and Aidan the cop who is investigating the crimes. Of course they disliked each other in the beginning which caused even more tension. It was hard
