A "guaranteed great read" stamp accompanies this book, and it is well deserved. This was a very good story. The first half, though, was better than the last. The main character, Jess, dedicated her life to being a police detective in order to find out what happened to her twin sister when they were in their twenties. Hank, her love interest, was a former Army Ranger who had been injured in the line of duty. Somehow his injuries released his ability to touch things and people and be able to know about them. Really, his psychic ability almost takes away from the story and Hank and Jess's relationship. The story had minor issues, but overall a good read.

Lisle is better known as a science fiction novelist, but this foray into romantic suspense is quite successful. The premise, a detective going undercover as a stripper (and actually getting naked in the process), isn’t particularly believable, but when the other main character is a man who can read people through things they have touched, you’re already suspending disbelief. Ultimately, the characters were likeable and the mystery was decent (I didn’t guess whodunit until it was practically revealed). I’m not a huge sci-fi fan, but I would be interested in reading more of Lisle in this genre.
