Amaryllis Lark is undeniably beautiful She s also one of the best psychic detectives on St Helen s, the earth colony recently cut off from the mother planet, yet not very different from home a place where love still defies the most incredible odds Lucas Trent, the rugged head of Lodestar Exploration, isn t keen on the prim and proper type and, from her neatly buttoned up business suit to her cool evaluation of his request to bust a corporate thief, Amaryllis is EXCRUCIATINGLY proper Amaryllis may have psychic powers, but she can t read minds least of all her own When a bold hunch leads them from a wild murder investigation to a red hot love affair, Amaryllis is shocked, Lucas is delighted, and no power on heaven, earth, or St Helen s can keep them apart New Download [ Amaryllis ] By [

I hadn t left it at school to read while my students read their books First of all Amaryllis Amaryllis Really What a lame name Though I suppose a character with a dumb name should be equally dumb and she was Amaryllis was naive ...When I tried to read it again I realized that this book is the negative rating Usually when her books are a 1 star experience, they are boring or bland for my tastes or

at historical romance with the whole society approved marriage theme.Loved the hero, loved the premise, adored the psychic angle very early Arcane Society with the added need of a focus link between two ...4.25 5Nice book It was a perfect mix of romantic, suspense and paranormal.This was one of many books that had me hooked from page one I liked Lucas and Amaryllis, they were attracted to each

were a fan At start it seemed like a cliched pnr but after some time I got into the story I liked the chemistry between characters And the world really intrigues me, I must find out .It s got the Ilona Andrews seal of approval so I definitely need to give it a tryThis one disappointed me big time I ve come to the realization that Jayne Castle Krentz Quick s voice style just doesn t work for me because this is the 6th book of hers that I ve read that I found very dull I should note that I do not like mysteries as a rule so maybe that s my problem because that s what the bulk of this book

complete lack of wit I found myself wondering if she was mildly autistic because of her almost total lack of understanding of social skills and human nature, but my daughter is autistic and has a

lack of understanding of social skills ...Strange use of adjectives to describe features of characters I did not detest it, actually found myself laughing at times Bottomline, this is a romance book trying to do a Dick Tracy while Professor X is all giddy with their abilities but I m no expert in all three themes Will I recommend it to friend...
