I have read Nora Roberts romances since she began writing for Harlequin, and still love her work. It is like coming home to old friends to reread, and finding new friends with her recent work. I am never truly disappointed in any of her books.
This one is the classic tale of two career driven people who must learn trust before they can let love into their lives.

i liked the plot. it reminded me of another nora’s book - “captivated”. it also had a fmc with extra abilities and a mmc who was researching them and her.
i didn’t like how stubborn both characters were. they did everything except talk to each other.

I had hoped for a bit more paranormal in this book. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the story. But it is pretty much a romance novel.

Mind Over Matter
He turns to a fortune teller in hopes to make his job easier by learning more about the career.
David Brady is producing a show on the paranormal. Because of her involvement with the VanCamps he wants her to help bring their case to the forefront.
Clarissa Bass is the fortune teller. She hopes to protect her mother and their life.
He fantasizes about her and learns more about her life and her family. Her mother was involved with finding others who had been kidnapped or murdered.
Lots of background information about the production of a documentary series. Hot steamy sex scenes.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

A good hot and steamy romance. Typical Nora Roberts; good for an afternoon of mindless reading. :)

3.75 stars - My review cross-posted from Wit and Sin: http://witandsin.blogspot.com/2017/07/review-mind-over-matter-by-nora-roberts.html
In Mind Over Matter a hardworking theatrical agent meets her match in a producer who isn’t afraid to knock down the walls she has around her heart. A.J. Fields has worked for years to become one of the most successful agents in Hollywood. She’s smart and has a spine of steel, so when David Brady wants to use psychic Clarissa DeBasse – A.J.’s most important client – in his new documentary, A.J. isn’t about to be bowled over by the handsome producer. Sparks fly immediately between A.J. and David, but A.J. doesn’t mix business with pleasure and those walls she has around herself are because she has been hurt repeatedly in the past. I liked the combination of strength and vulnerability in her and author Nora Roberts made it understandable why A.J. would be reluctant to open her heart to David. David is used to being demanding in his work life and noncommittal in his personal life, but the longer he’s around A.J., the more he finds his attitude toward relationships changing. She isn’t at all his type, but of course she knocks him for a loop. The two of them play off one another really well professionally and personally. Because they’re both hard-headed and flawed, they make mistakes in their burgeoning relationship, which I actually liked because it added a level of realism to the story.
Mind Over Matter was first published in 1987 and while there are things that date it (fashion, technology, some attitudes, etc.), for the most part it holds up really well. The style of this book isn’t as smooth as Ms. Roberts’s later work – the swift point of view changes took a bit of getting used to – but it’s still an enjoyable read and the romance is satisfying. All in all, I found Mind Over Matter to be a good comfort read fans of Nora Roberts are sure to like.

This is the first of Nora's books where she dips her toes into the paranormal! Aurora "A.J." Fields is a successful agent to many of Hollywood's top stars but her most important client is renowned psychic, Clarissa DeBasse. When award winning producer, David Brady, wants Clarissa as the centerpiece of his latest documentary he and A.J. clash. Nora writes an amazing story of two career focused, ambitious people who have to figure out how to let someone past their mental and emotional walls. There is a taste of Hollywood glamour and some (maybe) ghostly visions that mark this story as a precursor to some of Nora classics! To hear a full discussion of Mind Over Matter listen to Season 2, Ep. #6 "Nora Roberts' 1987: Mind Over Matter and Temptation" of Romancing the Shelf, a Nora Roberts podcast: https://romancingtheshelf.libsyn.com/
