Count to Ten

By: Karen Rose

Narrated by: Edoardo Ballerini

A fire department lieutenant and a bold, brash detective must team up to investigate a homicide in this tense and romantic thriller.
"In all his years in the Chicago Fire Department, Lieutenant Reed Solliday has never experienced anything like this recent outbreak of house fires -- devastating, vicious, and in one case, homicidal. He has another problem: his new partner, Detective Mia Mitchell. She's brash, bossy, and taking the case in a direction he never imagined.
Mia's instincts tell her the arsonist is making this personal. And as the infernos become more deadly, one look at the victims' tortured faces convinces her and Reed that they must work closer to catch the killer. With each new blaze, the villain ups the ante, setting firetraps for the people Reed and Mia love. The truth is almost too hot to handle: This monster's desire for death and destruction is unquenchable . . . and for Mia he's started the countdown to an early grave."

One of my favorite stories!

I love the character development (both protagonists and antagonists). Karen Rose takes the time to help the reader understand each character’s perspective. I love that I get to revisit characters from other stories as well. The romance and suspense are nicely intertwined. This is a go to when I’m between books.

Love This Book

Count to Ten is one of my favorite books from Karen Rose. Mia started with nothing and ended up with plenty! Will reread again and again and again....

I'm addicted to Karen Rose

I have read all of this romance suspense series.. psychological thrillers..she writes just the right amount of thriller.suspense.romance to make all this series worthy of your primary TBR list.
Ms Rose is a prolific author who keeps me hanging till the end... she has created a link between many of her characters that keeps me coming back for more.
I have read some of these books out if order- it doesn't matter.No worries
now that I have read all the books what am I to do?

Karen I'm waiting.
I'm a huge fan.
FYI the audiobooks got me thru my eye surgery and I have continued listening finding that when I have a migraine I reshift my focus away from the pain to listen while also blocking out external noise.
I could list more benefits but I hope you get it. These are fabulous

Avid reader regardless of format.

Wee worth a credit. Although slightly long (all her books are), the suspense and action keeps it moving right to the end. Scary without being gory. It's a great psychological thriller.

Always worth it

Karen Rose is one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITES in the mystery/thriller genre. Great stories and amazing characters.
