Two ex-lovers  reunite to investigate a child abduction ring. Both Keira and Luke are determined, strong and capable MCs focused on doing the right thing. There's anger and hurt, as things had ended badly, but the connection is still undeniable. As the chase heats up, they work on overcoming the past, and coming to terms with the choices they made. The rekindling of their romance is handled well, and they both really opened up. 

The heart to heart moments add depth, and Luke's patience is endless; he's determined to win Keira over, though I didn't like the way he issues ultimatums. And his grand gesture is...excessive. Lots of heat and passion, and they're stronger and better together. The action is good, but the set up is a bit clunky, their powers aren't explained well, though it fleshes out better later. Side note: I freaking loved Mitch, and I can't wait for his book.
