Touch and Go

P.A.R.A Investigations #2

by Michelle Rowen

Oh, the Bahamas. What a perfect place for a fling! Or is it?

Carrie Stanfield is there on assignment with the hottest guy ever! The chemistry between them is more volatile than the tropical storm that strands them on a deserted island. So why the heck won't Patrick McKay touch her already? Patrick would love to get his hands all over Carrie's sweet body.

Unfortunately, he's been fooling around with a charm that makes touching another person very hard. But not touching Carrie is making him even harder.... It's not looking very good for these two. Then again, when you mess around with magic, the most seductive things can happen....

3.5 Stars

Tbh, the sexiest part of this book was the dream sequence and telepathic button removal. He can't touch (for magic reasons) and she's a control freak (for non-magic reasons). There was technically a plot involving a cursed couples resort, but that only exists for a voyeurism scene.

Okay it sounds like I didn't like this book. But I did! It was breezy, cheesy, and sexy. That's really all I want from a category.

This book was pretty predictable. You just knew that when Carrie and Patrick meet that somehow something was going to happen between them. So it was no surprise when 2 years later that they were thrown together. Carrie is struggling with her tk powers, so of course she would try to find help with them, and of course that help would come in the person of Patrick, who was the head of PARA, a paranormal agency. Their first case together they are forced together in a honeymooners escape investigating a goddess of love and sex. So you can just imagine where things go from here. While the story was pretty good, the characters fell a little flat for me and Patrick was sort of an ass through the book and it seemed like he was just using her for sex, which made me hate him a little for it, no matter what his excuse was.

A quick paranormal romance.

When she interview him he mentioned her budding abilities but she scoffed it off. Now, admitting she needs training to control it, she’s joined the paranormal group as an agent assigned to him... Unfortunately he’s changed. On their assignment to the Bahamas she hopes to find what’s causing the change while trying to battle her attraction to him. While he battles his attraction to her.

Very disappointed. Thought it sounded pretty cool. Nothing turned me off but nothing clicked for me, either.

Cutesy, Blaze paranormal. A bit far-fetched, but who cares? It was a good, sexy, fun read. I had the auiodbook from my Audible.com subscription. The narrator, Gabra something, was good.

Wow! I really enjoyed this book. I forgot how much I loved reading paranormal books. It was a interesting, sexy, thrilling and romantic story about a man and a woman learning to live. A must read!

[Susi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Funny, sexy and a cute read for in between. Nothing really special but I laughed more than once. The end could have been a bit more but I enjoyed reading it!
And I love Rowen's humor so much. *g*

Not a bad book, closer to a 3.5 than a 3. The characters are appealing but the story missed the 'spark' that would make it truly enjoyable.

[Sue Ziara · Rating 4 out of 5]

Although it was unrealistic at times, it was still a good read!

[T.M. Carper · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quick, paranormal (TK and extra sensory abilities, not vampire paranormal) romance.

[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good story but very rushed ending.
