A cold case reopened - and a murderer reemerging more deadly than ever before

Baltimore homicide detective Stevie Mazzetti has suffered losses no woman should have to endure. And, despite it all, she's still a fighter. When she learns that her ex-partner might have miscarried justice, she's determined to put the past to rights, even when she becomes a target.

It's former marine Clay Maynard's job to see the risk in every situation, and he doesn't have to look hard to find the danger surrounding Stevie. Since the minute he first saw her, Clay has wanted toprotect the wounded officer, and he started loving her not long after that. So when Stevie attracts the attention of a vicious psychopath, Clay will do whatever it takes to keep her alive. That is, if he can stay ahead of a killer with everything to lose - and something terrifying to hide.

My Review:
The more that I read Karen Rose's writing, the more I fall in love with it!  I really must admit that she has got to be my favorite author.  I've read several of her books, and I've enjoyed every single one of them!  Watch Your Back was no exception.  Normally I tend to stay away from the larger books, but when it's a book by Rose, it doesn't seem to phase me a bit!

I love how each book in the Romantic Suspense/Baltimore series builds on each character.  Each book focuses mainly on a character or two, but you learn even more snippets about the other characters that were introduced in previous books.  Even though Stevie Mezzetti  and Clay Maynard were introduced early on, this book really dives into their lives and unspoken feelings for each other.  I love and get irritated with Stevie's character all at one time.  I love that she's so strong and independent, but it drives me nuts how stubborn and independent she is!  Clay seems to be the ultimate man, every woman's dream come true, so why can't Stevie realize that he is her dream come true?  I really love the characters of this series!!

Watch Your Back is full of intense, nail-biting, edge-of-your seat writing that will keep you flipping the pages way past your bedtime, and incredibly late into the night!  I continually felt the need to devour up the story!  This one was probably one of the most action-packed stories yet!

Marguerite Gavin has become the perfect fit for the Baltimore series, and I have come to trust and love her narration!  Some females tend to sound absolutely ridiculous when they attempt to portray a male character, but Gavin seems to fit to it pretty well!  She is probably one of my favorite narrators!

Overall, as with every other Rose book that I've read, I think she knocked it out of the park with Watch Your Back!  I am only saddened by the fact that I am going to have to wait awhile for a new release in this series!  I can't tell you that I can't wait for the next book and will be first in line to get the next release!!
