Loved this. My type of favorite romantic suspense read: a sexy detective falls for a victim, a strong and intelligent heroine.

Except...

What kind of epilogue is that? Not enough, not nearly enough.

This was a borderline 3-4 star book for me. I'm going with 4 stars because even though there were some things that bugged me, I still enjoyed the book quite a bit.

This series centers around 3 women, whose lives were either directly or indirectly affected by violent crime, who decide to fight back. They start a victims advocacy group in order to help the people who need it most.

This first book focuses on Skye Kellerman. Four years earlier, she awoke in her bed to a man holding a knife to her. She fought him off and helped send him to prison. But the attack left its mark on her life. She'll never be the same person again. And now, the man who attacked her is getting out, and she knows he has every intention of settling the score with her.

Detective David Willis agrees. He's been there for Skye since the nightmare began all those years ago. Been there for her maybe more than he should have been. But from the beginning, there's been an undeniable chemistry between them. He wants to protect. He wants her. But he has obligations he can't turn his back on.

Thought I can't say Trust Me was a thoroughly engrossing book, it was still a good read. It's a not a "whodunit" type of romantic suspense because you know who the bad guys is. It's more of a "what-happens-next" type of mystery. Novak keeps you reading because you want to know how it will all play out. And the whole premise is really interesting - victims of violent crime trying to go on with their lives.

The plot is fairly well-told. At times, it does plod a bit, seeming to repeat things you already know, but not enough to be truly irritating. I thought the storyline was well-crafted. And Novak snuck a nice surprise in there on me about the Lorenzo issue. I wasn't expecting what happened there.

As for the romance angle of this book...well, that was where the story lacked a bit for me. The romance in Trust Me was a bit atypical. David has an ex-wife who he has been married to and divorced from twice. They have a son together and now his ex-wife is suffering from multiple sclerosis. They have been working toward reconciliation because David feels his family should be together and that he needs to be there. Skye throws a monkey wrench into his plans. He cares for her a great deal, but his feelings war with his obligations.

So the romance isn't quite typical. Plus, when the book starts, the relationship between David and Skye is already a work-in-progress. It kind of leaves a feeling of being disconnected to them. Then the rest of the book, most of their interaction is related to the danger she is in. There just wasn't much time spent on them being together. I felt the chemistry between them, but not really the romance.

And the ending didn't help very much. It wasn't particularly romantic at all. David doesn't sort out his feelings until near the end, and the final two scenes between the H/H were over the phone. The epilogue was between Skye and a secondary character. Without a face-to-face scene between David and Skye to close out the book, I was left feeling a little like I was hanging in the wind.

If the romance in this book had been stronger, I would probably have given the book 4.5 stars, maybe. Because it was a solid read. I wanted to keep reading it and was anxious to read the next book in the series. The romance and the ending were unfortunately rather blah, though. ...more

This was my first book by Brenda Novak, and I definitely liked it enough to read more by her. Trust Me is romantic suspense, but is really much heavier on the suspense. There is a romance, but very little time is actually devoted to it. The hero and heroine were both very likeable characters, and the storyline was engrossing. Two minor characters in the book are heroines in subsequent novels in this series. I am eager to read both of their stories.

Trust Me is romantic suspense, but is really much heavier on the suspense. There is a romance, but very little time is actually devoted to it. The hero and heroine were both very likeable characters, and the storyline was engrossing. Two minor characters in the book are heroines in subsequent novels in this series. I am eager to read both of their stories.

Skye Kellerman was attacked in her bed four years ago, and she survived by stabbing her assailant with embroidery scissors. Dr. Oliver Burke was convicted of the attack, but was given a sentence of only eight to ten years because of his prominence in the community as a well regarded dentist. His claim, which many believed, was that the encounter with Skye was consensual, and that drug use caused her to attack him for no reason. Everything in Skye's life since that night four years ago has been a response to the attack. She is now very physically fit and able to defend herself with her self defense and firearms training. With two friends, Skye runs a charitable organization that helps victims of violent crime. When the detective who worked the case, David Willis, visits Skye to let her know that Oliver Burke will be out on parole within a few days, she feels very frightened and vulnerable. Working her case together, David and Skye have gotten to know each other over the past few years, and they are in love with one another. David refuses to acknowledge or act on his feelings because he feels obligated to his ex-wife, who now suffers from MS, and his young son. David has reconciled once with his ex, Lynette, only to break up again. David feels strongly that getting back together with Lynette is the right thing to do, but his heart isn't in agreement. Lynette has turned into a very unhappy, disagreeable woman who makes unreasonable demands on David. Skye doesn't want to be the cause of the guilt she knows David would feel from breaking the obligations he feels for his family, so she has tried to stay out of his life. With Oliver Burke so soon to be released, Skye and David are in one another's company often as they try to find evidence that will keep the dentist and probable murderer in prison. They are unable to deny their deep feelings for one another, but try arduously not to act on them. As danger pursues Skye, events occur that completely change the lives of David and Skye.

This book was very interesting, and I found it difficult to put down. A rather unusual aspect of this novel is that it puts some focus on the family of the assailant. What the Burke family has been through and what they believe plays a prominent role in the book. The villain is disturbing and credible. The only part of this book I found wanting was the romantic aspect. I would have enjoyed a bit more emphasis on the romance, especially at the end of the book. The last and two most important discussions between the hero and heroine took place over the phone. Although I was glad that they revealed their feelings to one another and made some important decisions, with this resolution taking place on the telephone, I would have appreciated one small scene with them together in person later. Overall, I found this to be a very good, captivating book. ...more

Four years ago, a masked assailant broke into Skye Kellerman’s bedroom window with the intent to rape and murder. But with animalistic sense of survival, Skye fought back, grabbing a pair of scissors that she’d left with her cross-stitch on her night table and stabbed/cut him in return. With DNA testing, it was proven it was Dr. Oliver Burke’s blood, but he insisted she was the one who attacked him, claiming that he went home with her and she turned violent ...more

This was a pleasure read, so it's not one of my official reviews. I always know when I pick up a book of Brenda's that I'm going to love it. Hands down, I did. I love that we're almost always in the bad guy's head as much as the good guy's. The romance is realistic and intense, so is the suspense. The research into victim's psychie was powerful here.

Premise of the book: Skye Kellerman was attacked in her bedroom 4 years ago but managed to stab her attacker who was subsequently caught and sentenced to 8-10 years in prison but is being released after only 3 years because he provided his dental services to inmates and also gave police information about another inmate so they liked him. Detective David Willis was the Detective that worked the case and provided emotional support (though I didn't read that) to Skye. During that time they apparently got very close and they shared a kiss and an almost spent the night moment but because David is determined to make his relationship with his 2 times ex-wife work it didn't happen (yes that would be married, divorced, married again, divorced again and now trying to make the relationship work again.) Our hero goes to Skye's house to tell her about her attackers early release which makes him even more determined to prove that the attacker also raped and murdered three other women before his attack on Skye.

I'll give this book 2 stars because for some reason I just wanted to keep reading it. The suspense was good and the story moved along well, and I liked the varying POV's. However by the 50% mark I truly hated the "Hero" (who I started to read as "Detective Worthless" in my mind.) There is a history between the H&h that is not adequately explained. A prologue would have been nice and it could have maybe shown that my animosity toward Det. Worthless was unwarranted. He must have been one heck of a guy when Skye was attacked to instill 4 years of loyalty and love when they didn't see each other.

As I mentioned earlier, the story starts 4 years after Skye had been attacked, during which time Skye and two other friends open a non-profit to assist victims of abuse and has taken steps to educate herself on self-defense. Our "Hero" gets news that Skye's attacker is being released from jail and he heads over to tell Skye. He doesn't like the fact that she has exercise equipment set up in her living room and that she own's several firearms (which she spent considerable time learning gun safety and practiced shooting regularly) because "she's going to far" and in his opinion all that she's done to educate herself regarding keeping herself safe just "served as further proof that her past was taking control of her life." I would suggest that a woman that educated herself on self-defense is a positive thing, but apparently the good detective disagrees.

My biggest complaint is the poor woe is me detective who really wants Skye but refuses to give up on reconciling with his ex-wife because he want's to provide a family for his 8 year old son (I don't know how happy a family could be when said husband really doesn't like his ex-wife and they just make each other miserable.) However when Skye finally smartens up and decides to move on with her life without him, he won't let her because HE wants her.... but can't be with her and of course why should she be happy when he "can't" be? My favorite line in the whole book was when Skye says "Where will you be when Burke attacks me again? Sleeping with your ex-wife?" I don't want to give spoilers away but not once was Det. Worthless there for Skye when she needed him. Okay he had his son in the car in one scene and I understand not wanting him to be there but why couldn't he bring him back to his ex-wife or use the babysitter he had so he could go be with Skye when she really really needed some emotional support. But we have to somehow feel sorry for him because after all he really really does want to be with Skye but he HAS to make this work with his ex-wife. Time after time in the book he chooses to go to his ex-wife and just expects Skye to stay on standby. Right up to the end when again, I won't use a spoiler but when he was so worried about Skye that he called the Sheriff's office and asked a deputy to go out and check on her because he is 2 hours away. When she calls him he answers the phone saying he's going to check up on his ex-wife and then he'll head over to her house. You have to read the book to understand how completely unrealistically stupid that is. And speaking of right up to the end. I didn't like the ending at all. The H&h weren't even with each other, they were talking on the phone - and of course he was going to check on his ex-wife before he headed over to see Skye. The epilogue was useless, again it would have been nice if the author had actually put the H&h together and we learned how "things" were being handled and what repercussion's there were for a certain characters actions but nope, we don't know and the epilogue is Skye visiting with another character in the book who mentions that she heard David (Det. Worthless) and Skye were getting married. When Skye asks who told her she says it was none other than David who stops by every few days to visit. That may be something you would think that David would have mentioned to Skye. That is just a minor detail, but overall I just found the hero in this book pathetic and playing the poor me I'm such a martyr act a little to much. ...more

And it was unbelievable that she was supposedly living in such dread and fear and yet was risking her life to protect her attackers wife who didn't believe her, didn't like her, and sent her hate mail!
I also had a hard time understanding why the cop was so tormented trying to be loyal to his EX wife. Not estranged or separated from, but EX. Papers already signed and filed. I was not getting his devotion to her if they were friggin divorced!! That was a stupid story line to me. And it was lame that Skye and David were saying they were in love when the author continuously reminded you that they were never able to pursue their relationship since David was so torn feeling he should return to his wife. So, when did this so called "falling in love" happen? There didn't seem to be any opportunity. So that was a bit trite. And the author never mentioned Skye missing her period to even think she could be pregnant. They had sex, and she took a test a few days later. Most tests suggest missing a cycle first before taking it. Being a woman, the author should know that.
And how can you have the ex wife plot Skye's murder but then never tell what happened to her? Was she convicted? Did she do time? What?
I also had no emotion toward Skye's relationships with her two partners at her work. They claimed to have this deep rooted bond but that didn't come through in the writing. And if the author would have spelled out "The Last Stand" one more time, I would have thrown my tablet across the room. I swear it felt like a plug every time it was mentioned. It didn't seem casual but felt more forced, like the author really just liked that title of the company and was proud she came up with it. Felt the need to repeat it over and over.
I will say that I'm glad that Oliver's death was not a long drawn out scene like so many authors tend to do. You knew it was coming and I was just glad it was over quickly. ...more

Transitions between characters were not smooth. It seems to me that if one is going to play the omniscient third person card, making it easier to jump between the minds of characters, with maybe some visual to let the reader know it's time to make the shift, would be a priority.
