5.0 out of 5 stars Great story! January 1, 2012

On the run from a mad man is bad enough, but doing it with no memory is worst. That's what Rose has to do. At least she has a sexy Detective by her side, whom she must trust with her life.

Running for her life, Rose survives an auto accident and wakes up in the hospital with no memory and quickly finds out someone wants her dead. She is whisked away by the handsome Detective, Nate, to a safe house. While Nate's team searches for answers, the couple discovers that Rose's life isn't the only thing at risk.

From the first page to the last page, I was intrigued. A true page turner. Cheryl did a wonderful job at storytelling and building tension with believable and likable characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Protecting Rose January 12, 2012

By SilentThunders

Protecting Rose is one of the best novels i have read in a long time! From page 1 I was hooked and could not put it down!!! The characters were very real and I could almost picture it as a movie! It was the perfect balance of Action Suspense and Romance. It was non-stop entertainment! Since buying it a week ago I've read it 3 times and i must say every time it gets better! I am very much looking forward to future books from Mrs. Yeko! I would never have expected so much talent from a brand new novelist!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars An author to watch January 5, 2012

By Jackie

Format:Kindle Edition

Protecting Rose starts fast and continues apace. No sooner has Detective Nate Stone wrapped up one case than another all but `rolls' into his lap in the shape of an amnesiac he names Rose.

When an out-of-control car speeds past Nate, he knows it's going to roll off the road. What he did not expect, when he stopped to give assistance, was to be shot at.

What starts, for Nate, as the need to protect someone who is in danger, turns into an emotional roller coaster for the down-too-earth cop. With little more to go on than the evidence of an out of control car and an unidentified shooter, Rose becomes far more than `just another case'.

Ms Yeko's plot is fast paced and tightly presented. Her writing style is dynamic. Her characters are so realistic they persuade you to continue reading about them from start to finish without stopping for anything or anyone one else.

Because every word the author uses, counts, she manages to pack an amazing story into a surprisingly few pages and you still close the book feeling you have been gifted a full-length mystery, suspense, romance.

Ms Yeko is an author to add to your TBR lists and to keep an eye out for.
