One of the better Harlequin Intrigues that I've read. This one involved a woman who was a psychic who had visions of a kidnapped little girl, and of course the cop who does't believe in psychics. I liked the way the author set up how the psychic ability worked. It was well written. The plot made sense of course once you bought the psychic angle. The relationship happened in a rush but I'm okay with it because it's kind of a given in a short romantic suspense that it would have to move fast. Still I liked the two of them together. The psychic little girl, Casey, stole the show though. Now I still have one sister's story to read. Looking forward to it. ( )

I did like this story of a kidnapping of a politicians daughter that involved the murder of her mother. Lily Browning is a teacher who is seeing visions of the missing child but she is up against the scepticism of Detective J McBride, whose daughter disappeared years ago and he ended up running in circles so his distrust for psychics is logical, however he can't ignore his attraction to Lily and the fact that she's deeply disturbed by the visions.

I liked this one, the characters were solid and although I did guess the reason for the kidnapping pretty early, it was a good read. ( )

Very good book that had me hooked from the first page. Lily has had visions all her life, usually of missing children. Now she's receiving cries for help from a little girl who has gone missing after her mother was murdered. One of the officers investigating is McBride. He has no trust in psychics having had a bad experience with one in his own tragic past. He can't deny that she seems to know things no one else does, but is she for real or is she part of the problem?

Lily hates the "gift" of having the visions that she does. All they seem to bring her is pain. But she can't walk away from the little girl she sees in her mind, even if that means dealing with Lieutenant McBride. She can sense a darkness and a lot of pain from him, but also a more personal connection. The chemistry between them is intense. As Lily's visions continue she feels that they are getting closer to finding Abby, but McBride is still fighting the idea that Lily sees what she say she sees. She is also confused by the presence of another little girl in her visions. I loved Lily's confidence in her visions and how she's determined to follow through on them. I also enjoyed the way that she stood up to McBride when she needed to. She had a great capacity for love which showed even as she used her visions to help both Abby and the other little girl Casey.

McBride is a rather bitter and pessimistic man. After his own daughter was kidnapped and never found he has lost himself in his work. His gut feeling on hearing of Abby's kidnapping is that she is already dead. I really ached for his unhappiness. His initial reaction to Lily was mistrust especially concerning her visions. He considers all psychics to be fakes out for money or attention. But things with Lily don't add up that way. Plus his attraction to her really confuses him. I loved seeing the way that Lily's confidence slowly works on his disbelief.

The intensity of this story was fantastic. The descriptions of Lily's visions made me feel like I was right there with her. There were places that I couldn't read fast enough to find out what was going to happen next. I loved the twist at the end with the second little girl. ( )
