Here are comments from our group of Advance Readers about Karen Robards's OBESSESION.
Coral from Omak, WA
Have you previously read a book by Karen Robards?
Yes, I have previously read books by Karen Robards.
What other romantic/suspense authors do you read?
J. A. Jance, Suzanne Brockmann, Lisa Scottoline, Dana Stabenow, Linda Lael Miller, Sandra Brown, Sharyn McCrumb and many others I can't remember right now.
What did you think of OBESSESION?
OBESSESION is a very good book. It is well-written, has a good storyline and keeps one guessing [throughout the story. At the end, you realize that there were some hints along the way], but not enough to spoil the story by any means.
It is another book that makes the CIA look really bad, and is also a good love story.
Thank you for sending it to me.
Would you ever read a future book by Karen Robards?
Yes.
Donna Jo from Pompton Plains, NJ
Have you previously read a book by Karen Robards?
Yes, I have. She has always been a favorite author of mine, and a few years ago, I had the chance to meet her.
What other romantic suspense authors do you read?
Too many to mention. A few are Stella Cameron, Cherry Adair, Catherine Coulter, Lisa Jackson, Susan Andersen, Carla Neggers, Nora Roberts, and Mariah Stewart.
What did you think of OBSESSION?
Thank you for the chance to read and review an advanced copy of OBSESSION. I enjoyed the book, and was hooked from the first page. It will be one of my top reads for the year. I would have never figured out the outcome of the book and what had happened to Katharine.
Would you ever read a future book by Karen Robards?
Yes, for sure.
Glenna from Ballwin, MO
Have you previously read a book by Karen Robards?
Yes, I have read many of Ms. Robards's books.
What other romantic suspense authors do you read?
I also read Sandra Brown, Karin Slaughter, Elizabeth Lowell, Kay Hooper, Kristin Harper and others.
What did you think of OBSESSION?
OBSESSION was good. Very suspenseful. It was confusing at first, but definitely a good read. I didn't want to put it down.
Would you ever read a future book by Karen Robards?
Yes, I will continue to read Karen Robards's books.
Joan from South Berwick, ME
Have you previously read a book by Karen Robards?
I was glad for the opportunity to preview OBSESSION by Karen Robards. I have never read any of her books.
What other romantic suspense authors do you read?
I enjoy reading books by John Grisham, Kathy Reichs, Michael Palmer, Robin Cook, John Grisham, Janet Evanovich, and so on.
What did you think of OBSESSION?
This book caught my interest from the first page and I hated to put it down. It had a surprise ending that I did not expect. It really was a good read!
Would you ever read a future book by Karen Robards?
I definitely will read more of Karen's books!
Mari-Ella from Brick, NJ
Have you previously read a book by Karen Robards?
No, but I will in the future.
What other romantic suspense authors do you read?
I've read a couple by Nora Roberts, but I really don't care for them. I find them to be formulaic --- even when I didn't actually guess the ending, there was no surprise at all. I didn't find that with Karen Robards's book. It was very exciting, suspenseful, and no silly romance.
What did you think of OBSESSION?
Loved it, as I said earlier. I would gladly read more by her.
Would you ever read a future book by Karen Robards?
Yes, I will also look up older books by her.
Marsha from Macon, GA
Have you previously read a book by Karen Robards? Would you ever read a future book by Robards?
This is the first of Karen Robards's books I have read and can't wait to read all of her books!
What did you think of OBESSESION?
This is one of the most "edge of the seat" novels I have ever read. Never knowing what to expect on the next page, I read this in practically one sitting!
Kendra from Davis, CA
Have you previously read a book by Karen Robards?
Yes, I read BAIT, and I might have read others. I read too much to know for sure.
What other romantic suspense authors do you read?
J. D. Robb, Michele Martinez, Janet Evanovich, Iris Johansen and Linda Howard.
What did you think of OBSESSION?
I thought it was a great read. I couldn't predict that ending, and was totally kept guessing. The characters were fun, and the book was just enjoyable to read.
Would you ever read a future book by Karen Robards?
Absolutely. It's not easy to keep me guessing to the end of a book, so anyone who can do that is high on my list. Too much of what I read is predictable after a certain point in the story, and that's no fun.
Kristine from Lombard, IL
Have you previously read a book by Karen Robards?
I have read just a few of her other novels --- ONE SUMMER, MAGGY'S CHILD, WALKING AFTER MIDNIGHT and BEACHCOMBER, which have all been great.
What other romantic suspense authors do you read?
Other romance suspense authors I have read include Sandra Brown, Catherine Coulter, Nora Roberts, and Tami Hoag.
What did you think of OBSESSION?
I just finished reading OBSESSION and like the other novels I have read, Karen Robards's grabbed my attention right away and the book remained a page-turner until the very end. Just when I thought I might have the story figured out, there were some twists and turns, certain people were not who they thought they were, and some new characters were introduced. Robards writes great descriptions about the setting and characters, which gives the reader a pretty good picture of various people and scenes.
Would you ever read a future book by Karen Robards?
I will definitely read other books by Karen Robards and will recommend them to my friends.
Nikki from Homer Glen, IL
Have you previously read a book by Karen Robards?
I don't usually read [books of this genre] and have never read anything else by Karen Robards. OBSESSION has definitely changed my mind about romantic suspense novels.
What did you think of OBESSESION?
OBSESSION was very easy to read and caught my attention in the first paragraph. The heroine of the book was not "too perfect," which is what I usually don't like in romance novels. I found myself wrapped up Katherine's plight and I especially liked the "I've seen this before" feelings that were part of the story.
Would you ever read a future book by Karen Robards?
I look forward to reading other titles by Karen Robards and other authors of this type of novel.
Sharon from Newark, DE
Have you previously read a book by Karen Robards?
I think I have read all of her books.
What other romantic suspense authors do you read?
You name them and I have probably read their books.
What did you think of OBSESSION?
I thought it was another great book, full of twists and turns throughout. The ending was the best one I had read in a long time. I could not put it down until I finished. It was one of Karen Robards's best books I have read!
Would you ever read a future book by Karen Robards?
Of course! I look forward to her next book.
Violet from Puyallup, WA
Have you previously read a book by Karen Robards?
No.
What did you think of OBSESSION?
I liked that there were surprising twists from beginning to end. Each time I believed I had it figured out, the story took a totally different turn. BRAVO!
Would you ever read a future book by Karen Robards?
I will, and will check out her previous books as well.
Ricki from Wildwood, MO
Have you previously read a book by Karen Robards?
No.
What other romantic suspense authors do you read?
Heather Graham.
What did you think of OBSESSION?
The book seemed too much like a spy thriller, and some parts were very confusing, such as the prologue, which did not come into play until the last quarter of the book. The title also did not seem to have anything to do with it.
Would you ever read a future book by Karen Robards?
Maybe.
