Ao terminar o livro "You Belong to Me", fiquei a pensar que seria óptimo uma obra focada nas personagens Daphne Montgomery e Joseph Carter, pelo que quando me cruzei com o "Did you Miss Me?" fiquei super entusiasmada pelo mesmo se versar precisamente nestas duas personagens.
Karen Rose nunca me desiludiu com os seus livros, estando todos eles entre o "muito bom" e o "excelente", pelo que este último não fugiu à regra, tendo sido uma leitura extraordinária! Adoro especialmente a forma como a autora une romance com thriller policial, criando tramas intensas e imprevisíveis, com um leque de personagens profudas e muito bem trabalhadas. Lê-se de um fôlego.

On the day the verdict is due on a controversial case, Daphne Montgomery's son Forde is abducted, unbeknownst to her. Shortly after the verdict is announced, chaos erupts inside and outside the courtroom. FBI Agent Joseph Carter is also on the scene as he'd come to notify her about Forde. From that moment forward, they're connected for the duration as the case takes numerous turns and revelations about Daphne's past become critical connections to just about everything.
This was one wild, convoluted but challenging mystery! It had everything...seriously mixed up mystery, intrigue, high tension, passion, romance, heartbreak...you name it, you felt it at some moment during the story. I was really excited that Daphne and Joseph were the main focus as she caught my attention as soon as the series shifted to Baltimore.
Of course, there were others with important roles in the story, namely Clay Maynard and Stevie Mazetti, who are perfectly positioned for the next full-length book.
As usual, I got some to this tangled web of mystery right, but not all of it. And, even when I was certain of my suppositions, I still didn't know the full story. I could not stop listening to this story and enjoyed Marguerite Gavin's narration (though I had to stop thinking of Rachel from The Hollows series), so much that I think I'll listen to the rest of the series. I loved this one.

Aujourd’hui je vous parle du prochain pavé de Karen Rose qui sera publié mercredi chez Harlequin Mosaïc. Car oui, une fois de plus c’est bon gros romans de plus de 600 pages. 617 pages, pour être précise, que j’ai dévorées en un après-midi au soleil tellement j’ai été entraînée dans l’histoire. Vous l’avez compris c’est encore une réussite.
La dernière fois, lorsque je vous ai parlé de Personne pour t’entendre, je vous ai dit qu’il s’agissait du x-ième tome d’une de ses séries. Sauf qu’après quelques recherches sur son site internet je me suis aperçue que c’était bien plus simple (ou compliqué) que ça. Il n’y a pas vraiment une série à proprement parlé mais c’est plutôt que tous ses livres sont liés grâce à leurs personnages (pour plus de renseignements voici la page de Karen Rose qui montre dans quels tomes apparaissent les personnages en précisant celui duquel il est le héros, c’est vraiment énorme et cela montre le talent de l’auteure !). Pour faire simple, ils sont classés par ville mais certains héros se rencontrent d’une ville à l’autre, bref ils sont tous liés. [...]

State Attorney Daphne Montgomery has a past that is about to come back to haunt her.
This story is fantastic, lots of plot twists, excellent characters. I definitely couldnt put it down.
I hope there are more with these characters in it. The story was very clever and really kept you on your toes.

I feel a little let down because Die For Me and You Belong to Me were both better than this

I am finally giving up and close the book after 120 pages. I have always loved Karen Rose's books and appreciate her well researched thrillers. But the romance part is just too heavily embedded in clichés and as always constructed in her well known patterns.
Reentering the Baltimore series with Book 3 also resulted in a rough start for me because I've read the prequel many years ago and couldn't place any of the characters or what had happened to them in the previous books. But it felt to me like it was expected from the reader that they know their way around immediately.
In the end I could not connect to the story, felt quite overwhelmed with so many characters and was really annoyed by the worn out and shallow developments of the romance.
