Closer than you think by Karen Rose, is another perfect combination of romance and suspense from the first page. It features psychologist Faith Sullivan and FBI Agent Deacon Novak. We met Deacon earlier in her series, but this book is definitely a standalone, although the rest of the series is pretty amazing as well.
The opportunity to get to know Deacon was one of the best parts about this book. He was such an enigma, and it was interesting getting to see what made this fierce protector and police officer tick. Faith was a woman still haunted by her past, but I liked the way she was willing to open herself up to this man she did know too well. As always, the mystery and suspense leaves you guessing until the very end, and Karen Rose weaves an interconnected story as only she can. The only issue I had with the book was the sheer length, oftentimes with minute details that made it hard to follow along. Despite that, it was a great book and the perfect addition to the series!
