Dana Dupinsky runs a shelter for battered women in Chicago. Protecting and helping victimized women is taking up all her time, money and energy.

Dana often forgets about her own comfort and does everything she can to help as many women as possible. When she runs into a stranger on a bus station, she doesn't know that her life is about to change considerably. She does not yet know that Ethan came to Chicago to look for his kidnapped godson, and that the cruel woman he is looking for is hiding in Dana's shelter.

Nothing to Fear is another excellent suspense novel from Karen Rose. It is very fast-paced and extremely hard to put down once you start reading.

The main characters are very likable and realistic. Even though I usually do not reach for romance novels; however, the genre of romantic suspense that Karen Rose introduced me to, will be something I will definitely read a lot in the future.

Armchair Interviews says: Good example of romantic suspense genre.

Nothing To Fear is a riveting page-turner filled with compelling characters that could easily spin off into their own stories. Ethan and Dana don't allow them to steal the show as they fight their own personal demons and face down a villainous woman bent on revenge. Just when you think you can relax, you can't. This novel is filled with twists and surprises that will keep you up at night.

Dana Dupinsky has sheltered battered women for years, so she has nothing to fear when "Jane" shows up at her Chicago shelter's door seeking refuge. Unknown to Dana is that Jane is actually Sue Conway, a disturbed killer, who has kidnapped the child in her custody, seeking revenge for her 10 year incarceration. Despite Jane not acting like most of the women that she comes into contact, as well as her lack of motherly warmth for her son, she continues to allow Jane to stay.

When she is injured while trying to stop a purse napping at a local bus station, Dana meets handsome security consultant Ethan Buchanan, unaware that Ethan is in Chicago hot on the trail of killer Sue and searching for his deaf godson. Alec. Neither knows what their real motivations are, just that they are extremely attracted to each other. As Dana's suspicions about Jane grow, so does Jane's body count.

Fraught with lots of tension, suspense, and plenty of red herrings to keep you guessing at Sue's motives, Karen Rose's storytelling just keeps getting better with each book, culminating into a tense showdown. She has a way with weaving characters from previous novels into her stories without making their appearances feel forced like so many other authors. Don't miss this one!

WOW! Karen Rose has been my favorite author from the beginning of her career. Every one of her books I've selfishly devoured and proudly own. I just can't get enough of her stories. I was so excited to be reunited with most of the characters from Don't Tell. All I have to say is that this story will take you on a roller coaster ride that you will not want to get off of. Make sure you buckle up because there will be so many twist and turns.
