I've been a fan of Merline Lovelace and her military thrillers for a while, and I loved the incorporation of the paranormal. She makes Mark's abilities seem real and an essential part of the story. The work is sensual without being overly graphic, and Mark's sense of humor is priceless. I like the way both Taylor and Mark are strong alpha characters without the trait feeling forced and without either overwhelming the other. Kudos for a fast and wonderful read!

I just found Ms Lovelace's books and I have enjoyed EVERY ONE of them. I loved this one too. This book had romance and adventure. I like that the woman was strong and the man a gentleman. This was a wonderful "escape" book.

Have enjoyed the author's other books. This one never caught my attention. Plot was weak. Didn't care for characters. Felt like I wasted my time.

The Air Force Office of Special Investigations assigns Captain Taylor Chase to learn if scientist Dr. Oscar Hayes is being forcibly held on a Caribbean fortress near St. Kitts. Two months ago, he vanished while working on a top secret government project; he just resurfaced apparently held by or voluntarily joined a consortium planning to sell genetically engineered organs as human harvests on the black market.

To gain access to the island, Taylor heads to Princeton, New Jersey to try to persuade her former graduate professor at the University of Michigan Dr. Mark Wolfson to help her as he has worked closely with Hayes although she has doubts about working with him as she was his lab assistant and lover until she realized the mind games he played with her. Mark reluctantly agrees to pose as her lover. Along with his loyal husky Tikal, they head to the Eastern Caribbean where the pair must deal with their attraction enhanced by their telepathic connection as much as by preventing a billionaire's evil plan from occurring.

Known for her exhilarating military romantic suspense tales, Merline Lovelace adds a paranormal spin with Mark's ESP skills. Fans will appreciate the lead couple's banter as they argue, fuss and love mentally and physically, which makes his abilities feel genuine; all this inside a strong suspense thriller.
