jmc_bksI picked up this Silhouette Special Edition on my Borders trip last weekend. It was a random selection, really. I think I've read Wilkins before, but I couldn't give you the title. Or maybe I haven't and I just recognized her name. :shrug: The blurb intrigued me enough to put it in the shopping bag that Borders so thoughtfully provides to readers:
Does SSE often do paranormalish suspense? I haven't read this line regularly in a while, so I wasn't sure what to expect.
The plot was pretty good, but the book wanted to be more than a category/series book. Or maybe it just wanted to not be a romance? I don't know which. The h/h had absolutely no chemistry -- they seemed more like pals or professional partners than people with any sexual interest in each other. Wilkins needed to spend more time developing the relationship and less time on the mystery elements. Except, wait, the mystery needed more page space, too.

"Can you tell what I'm thinking?" -- Ethan Brannon, Skeptic
Handsome but cynical Ethan was hardly a believer in Aislinn Flaherty's special "gifts." And despite her attraction to him, the full-time cake maker/part-time psychic vowed to ignore Ethan. Really. Until she started having "feelings" about his long-lost brother. Deep down, she knew she could reunite Ethan with the relative he was sure was gone forever.
If only her feelings for Ethan were just as reliable...
