The three have vowed to find the cult and bring it down, and now, they finally have a solid lead.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Neutralizing Eden\u2019s threat will save captive members and ensure Tom\u2019s new friends can live without fear. But when his best friend, ex-Army combat medic Liza Barkley, joins the case, it puts her life\u2014and their blossoming love\u2014in danger. With everything they hold dear in the balance, Tom and Liza, together with Gideon and Mercy, must end Eden once and for all.<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-2 tb_23787e9 last\">\n                                                        <div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n                        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_2d1ea91  repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25881 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-recommends-banner-1.png?resize=296%2C72\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong><br \/>Release Date:<\/strong>\u00a0Aug 3, 2021<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>Sacramento<br \/><\/em><strong>Book:\u00a0<\/strong>3<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $14.99<\/p><hr \/><p><br \/><br \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Special Agent <strong>Tom Hunter<\/strong> has been trying to take down the cult, Eden. He receives some strong clues as to where they might be and he calls on his friend Gideon and Mercy (former cult members and past characters from the series) to help him out. They each have a personal tie to the cult and destroying it from the inside out is the main goal.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can never really go wrong with a book by <em><strong>Karen Rose<\/strong><\/em>. The thriller and twists are going to be there. Sprinkle in the romantic elements and you are bound to have a good reading evening in store. This book is no different. I stayed up all night reading <strong>Say Goodbye<\/strong>.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I liked that <strong>Tom<\/strong> and <strong>Liza\u2019s<\/strong> romance is based off of a solid friendship. They never allowed things to become anything more until recently. When Liza puts herself in harm\u2019s way, Tom is quick to respond. I like how they are the perfect balance for one another. While the romance is not as strong as some of her previous books, you get glimpses into the other couples from past books.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is a lot of information in this book about Eden but you get a better understanding if you have read the previous books. They give you an idea of how sophisticated and dangerous Eden is really out. The flow and style are similar to previous books but there is a certain way the author throws in a twist that takes the story to the next level.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ending to a wonderful series. I honestly couldn\u2019t figure it out. The twists and turns kept me guessing. This is not the first series that I read with cults as the underlying theme. They are always hard for me to read but I enjoy the psychological aspect and the take down of the guy was just great!<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are a fan of romantic suspense with a thrilling edge, then I recommend<strong> Say Goodbye<\/strong>. I can\u2019t wait to see what Ms. Rose has next.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3jqe58M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/say-goodbye\/id1538873506?itsct=books_box_link&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_say_goodbye&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/say-goodbye-karen-rose\/1138019007?ean=9781984805355\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/say-goodbye-11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Karen_Rose_Say_Goodbye?id=XQEHEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For decades, Eden has remained hidden in the remote wilds of the Pacific Northwest, \u201cPastor\u201d keeping his cult&#8217;s followers in thrall for his personal profit [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29434,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[83,128,48,50],"tags":[152,216,404,405,423],"class_list":["post-27530","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-berkley","category-penguin-group","category-reviews","category-samantha","tag-4-stars","tag-contemporary","tag-recommend","tag-recommended-reads","tag-romantic-suspense"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -

But the Founding Elders are splintering, and Pastor's surrogate son DJ is scheming to make it all his own.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>When two of Eden's newest members send out a cry for help, it reaches FBI Special Agent Tom Hunter, whose friend and fellow FBI Special Agent Gideon Reynolds and his sister, Mercy, are themselves escapees of the Eden cult, targeted by the Founding Elders who want them silenced forever. The three have vowed to find the cult and bring it down, and now, they finally have a solid lead.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Neutralizing Eden\u2019s threat will save captive members and ensure Tom\u2019s new friends can live without fear. But when his best friend, ex-Army combat medic Liza Barkley, joins the case, it puts her life\u2014and their blossoming love\u2014in danger. With everything they hold dear in the balance, Tom and Liza, together with Gideon and Mercy, must end Eden once and for all.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-recommends-banner-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong><br \/>Release Date:<\/strong>\u00a0Aug 3, 2021<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>Sacramento<br \/><\/em><strong>Book:\u00a0<\/strong>3<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $14.99<\/p><hr \/><p><br \/><br \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Special Agent <strong>Tom Hunter<\/strong> has been trying to take down the cult, Eden. He receives some strong clues as to where they might be and he calls on his friend Gideon and Mercy (former cult members and past characters from the series) to help him out. They each have a personal tie to the cult and destroying it from the inside out is the main goal.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can never really go wrong with a book by <em><strong>Karen Rose<\/strong><\/em>. The thriller and twists are going to be there. Sprinkle in the romantic elements and you are bound to have a good reading evening in store. This book is no different. I stayed up all night reading <strong>Say Goodbye<\/strong>.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I liked that <strong>Tom<\/strong> and <strong>Liza\u2019s<\/strong> romance is based off of a solid friendship. They never allowed things to become anything more until recently. When Liza puts herself in harm\u2019s way, Tom is quick to respond. I like how they are the perfect balance for one another. While the romance is not as strong as some of her previous books, you get glimpses into the other couples from past books.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is a lot of information in this book about Eden but you get a better understanding if you have read the previous books. They give you an idea of how sophisticated and dangerous Eden is really out. The flow and style are similar to previous books but there is a certain way the author throws in a twist that takes the story to the next level.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ending to a wonderful series. I honestly couldn\u2019t figure it out. The twists and turns kept me guessing. This is not the first series that I read with cults as the underlying theme. They are always hard for me to read but I enjoy the psychological aspect and the take down of the guy was just great!<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are a fan of romantic suspense with a thrilling edge, then I recommend<strong> Say Goodbye<\/strong>. I can\u2019t wait to see what Ms. Rose has next.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3jqe58M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/say-goodbye\/id1538873506?itsct=books_box_link&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_say_goodbye&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/say-goodbye-karen-rose\/1138019007?ean=9781984805355\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/say-goodbye-11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Karen_Rose_Say_Goodbye?id=XQEHEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27530","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27530"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27530\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29436,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27530\/revisions\/29436"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27530"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27530"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27530"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
