Book Description:
Tabloid reporter Sierra McIntyre wants a scoop when she interviews Ghost Hunter Guild boss John Fontana about the disappearances of retired, homeless hunters. She doesn't want to trust the physically and psychically powerful man, but her intuition-and her dust bunny companion-give her the green light. To uncover the conspiracy within his own organization, Fontana proposes…marriage. And though it's purely a business arrangement, there's nothing pure about the attraction that sizzles between them.

Being the fifth book in a series, you will enjoy this one more if you have read some of the others first, but that said, it can be an fun read on its own since the author gives you plenty of background within the story. It is set on a distant world in the future, cut off from the home world of Earth, where psychic powers are commonplace.

You get to know the characters and like them right away; you get involved with their good times and their problems and you care about them. Sierra is from a wealthy family and struggling to find her role in life, feeling like she has failed at everything she's tried, she is working for a cheesy tabloid newspaper. John Fontana is a wealthy Guild boss with no family status, having been born a bastard, which is practically unheard of on the planet, Harmony. It's a perfect match...

As always, Jayne keeps the story going with lots of action, a bit of death and destruction, peppered with kidnappings and close calls--but with all that, the story is light and fast. There's plenty of romance, just enough hot moments, and an abundance of comic relief provided by Sierra's little "dust bunny" fur-ball named Elvis, whose preferred costume is a sequined cape and dark glasses.

Jayne makes a reference in the book to another of her series, The Arcane Society, having Sierra's family be future descendants of the Society.

Great part of the Harmony series. Good read and does not really have to be reviewed in order. Good reading.

What an awful cover, this cover model has really, really bad hair. That said, this is another quick paranormal read from Castle in her Ghosthunter series. The suspense part of the story was better than average and the Elvis dust bunny is adorable. The romances in the series are slighted somewhat in that the couple forms a psychic connection when they first meet, so there is less of a build up to their togetherness. If you like this series, try Robin D. Owens Celta's Heart Mates series.

Fun, quick read, and ended all too soon.
Waiting for the next book by Jayne in 12/08 is going to be as torturous as it was waiting for this one.
