Tara Crayton has worked hard to regain her sense of self after surviving an abusive marriage. Her co-workers in the secretarial pool at Douglas Financial Services know very little about Tara outside the office. Her crazy and abusive ex-husband has just been released from prison, she is a clandestine psychic, and to top it off, she has a dream lover. Her dream lover reawakens wary Tara's desire for a romantic relationship.

Marcus Hyatt also works in the secretarial pool. His co-workers, Tara included, think he is deadly dull. They are only half right. He is deadly. Marcus is an undercover operative for the Special Investigations Agency. Marcus hopes to secretly use his psychic ability to uncover a deadly evil within Douglas Financial Services. Distracting Marcus from his mission is his interest in Tara and his dreams. Dreams that are filled with a woman's erotic touch, bringing him ecstasy, and filling him with a longing for more.

When Tara turns to Marcus for protection from her threatening ex-husband, he knows he must help her. Keeping his mission and psychic ability a secret is imperative, for it would only bring danger to Tara. Can he protect her from danger at work and at home?

I found Sins and Secrets a difficult book to read. It is supposed to be an
erotic paranormal, and it is. It's also a thriller. It is this aspect of the book that sticks with me. I loved the paranormal flavor of the book, even the danger of the unknown evil. The erotica was very well-written and sensual. However, when combined with the added danger of the abusive, religious fanatic, psychotic, murderous ex-husband, I couldn't immerse myself in the story. In fact, I was so disturbed by the crazy ex-husband that I couldn't findany joy in the romance. Ms. Agnew is an excellent author, and lovers of crime novels will enjoy Sins and Secrets, but I wanted more romance. In this, it did not satisfy.

This was the first Denise Agnew book I had read and I enjoyed it very much. The hero is strong and patient and I became jealous of the heroine quite early in the story! Since this book, I have downloaded other stories by this author and I recommend her.
