Who would have thought a hitman needed a psychic like me for a bodyguard? Too bad he’s so smokin’ hot that I can’t concentrate, and all my visions involve kissing those amazing lips.
A hitman should be safe from death when he’s the one doing the hunting, but for Stone, everything changes when he becomes the target. He’s not a stranger to enemies, but most people know better than to cross him.
His boss, Quentin Vanetti, decides Stone needs help to stay alive long enough to find the assassin, so he enlists Serenity Jones. The only problem? She’s a psychic.
Stone thinks Vanetti’s lost his mind, but when Serenity proves she’s the real deal, Stone has to play along. Now, he’s stuck with her, and it’s not just the danger of getting killed that’s keeping him awake at night…it’s falling for the psychic that he can’t stop thinking about.
As the assassin closes in, will Serenity’s psychic powers be enough to save him? But even worse... who will save him from her?
A steamy, laugh out loud, forced proximity romance that will keep you hooked until the very end!

In this story, Serenity has new psychic powers of psychometry, which is the ability to get visions after touching something. She is contracted to figure out who might be after hitman Nathan Stone, usually referred to as Stone. There are many close calls and scenes that would be great on screen. Helme is good at writing action. The sexual attraction is instant and so strong that I found it off-putting. Once we got into the story and the characters truly started to develop, it was more palatable.
Yes, the reader/listener can consume this book without knowledge of the Shelby universe, but there are a few fun references to it. A throw-away character's name, the mention of Serenity getting shot in the head (the event that causes Shelby's mind-reading in her set of stories). That was fun.
The narrator was new, but that makes sense, too. If Jocelyn Drake was a real person, she wouldn't necessarily have access to Helme's regular narrator. Plus, this gives Helme/Drake freedom to make more stories about Serenity/Stone if she wants to. She's already great at getting out a new Shelby Nichols book in less than 12 months and is going strong.
The narrator nails a few Helme-isms that pop up in the Shelby books, such as downplaying a negative with "Right?" [That's not coming back to bite me. Right?] Also, there's a use of "Oh, baby. Oh, baby," the usual sexytimes phrase from the other series. I find the phrase annoying more than cute, but still... it did pop up in the story. It's fun how the new narrator approached the author voice inside the character voice in a similar manner to Helme's usual narrator (Wendy Tremont King).
Now here's the thing that is definitely a "Your Mileage May Vary" for this book: On its own, the book is okay. I had a good time with it. It's solid. But I also know I wouldn't have sought it out as something that would normally be part of my reading.
Also, even though Serenity and Stone are substitutes for Shelby and Ramos (the steam we don't get to have because she's faithful to her husband in the main series), they are NOT Shelby and Ramos. For me, it didn't have that sizzle that the two have developed over a book series that, at the time of this review, has 18 full-length books, plus at least one Ramos-centric novella. A different reader might find it perfect, so understand your own expectations going in to reading this.
In conclusion: An enjoyable one-off.
Note: I received a free copy of the audiobook from the author in exchange for an honest review.
