Paranormal Romance published by Berkley 01 Mar 22
Ms. Feehan takes us back to Team One of the Ghost Walkers and rekindles some of the magic that I first felt when I started to read this series. Jonas has an interesting stew of characteristics, some of which he hasn’t shared with his team, despite how much he trusts them, and some of which he just doesn’t understand. Camellia is that perfectly engineered match for him, but she’s wary of him and of the other members of the original two teams and their wives, whom she grew up with in Whitney’s labs. Camellia and Jonas will soon be challenged and tested. Will their bond prove true to the challenge?
Recently I met up with an old friend and he mentioned how excited he was when he discovered that plants have intelligence as manifested by how they react to different stimuli. This book just cemented some of what this botanist friend was speaking about by bringing in plants as a leaving, breathing force that assists Jonas and Camellia almost like their own private army. Camellia is wary of Jonas. Her past has made her distrustful of the Ghost Walkers as a whole, but can he bind her to him and hold her?
Danger is stalking the teams and it’s Jonas and his small team’s job, along with Cameliia’s help, to find and neutralize the threat. At the same time this small strike team will be forced to confront painful events in their past, most particularly Jonas, as they face a foe who is determined to annihilate what they stand for, including the children being born to Ghost Walker couples. In the meantime, Camellia, in her own way, is forced to confront her childhood nemesis and use her powers to save the life of the one woman who had not only once been her best friend but also her worst betrayer.
You will find it hard to put this book down once you pick it up, since it will sweep in and capture your imagination and keep the adrenaline humming as the story unfolds. An absolute winner.
Grade: A
Summary:
Jonas “Smoke” Harper has watched his brothers find their perfect mates, never imagining he’d actually meet someone who complements every part of him—even the monster that lurks within. But his instant connection with Camellia goes far beyond wanting the intelligent, beautiful, and lethal woman in his bed. They are two parts of a whole, linked to each other and to a larger network that exists everywhere around them.
Camellia has lived on her own for a long time, relying on her unique psychic abilities to keep her safe. She knows that Jonas was literally made for her, and that makes their addictive connection more dangerous than a thousand enhanced super soldiers. Once the larger threat looming over them is dealt with she’s going to get far away as fast as she can. Life has taught her that the only one she can truly trust is herself.
Jonas can sense Camellia is going to run—and the hunter inside doesn’t want to let go. Not when he knows how good they’ll be together. So he’ll just have to use all of his considerable skills to convince her to stay….
