Book Review: Karen Rose’s Don’t Tell

Book Review: Karen Rose’s Don’t Tell

I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Don’t Tellin Paperback edition on July 1, 2003 and has 512 pages.Explore it on Goodreads or Amazon First in the Romantic Suspense series (can ya get more uncreative?) split between Asheville, North Carolina and Chicago. My Take Scum like Winters are cowards. There should be a death penalty for men (and women) like him. Rose wrote a dramatic and tension-filled story with real-life characters. Homey characters (on the good side!) you wanted in your own family. She can also write ’em bad. Really bad. It’s an interesting mix of funny and passionate, brave and insecure on the romantic side.

The couple focus is on Brandon and Jonathan. I received this story from the publisher, Riptide Publishing. My Take This is sick. If this is what BDSM is about, I so do not want any! Brandon needs a chunk of change to pursue his dream and when Jonathan makes him a deal for six months of his time for the money, Brandon figures, what can it hurt. Turns out, it can hurt A LOT. Jonathan starts out by wanting to be friends and get to know each other. But what he really means is I will break you any way I can and the more painful the better. He treats Bran like a dog, like a thing. He pays no attention to how or what Bran feels. […]
