The light and shadow of emotion -- Highly recommended

Meghan Patterson represents the exact kind of trouble Detective Gabe Conally tries to avoid with secrets in her eyes and lies on her lips. His fascination is purely business, of course, since her nephew is a valuable witness. Never mind the first kiss backfires, failing to prove there isn't any attraction between them. Few women elicit an emotion response him, beyond the obvious, but Meghan touches parts of him that he has never shared with anyone. Soon he finds himself offering to investigate the case involving Meghan's sister, despite the fact that the case is closed, in exchange of her nephew Danny's assistance in an ongoing investigation.Meghan believes the Chicago police are responsible for her sister's death and will do anything to protect Danny from the same fate. Her sister had been telepathic, a gift she'd passed to her son. Further, Meghan guards her hard won privacy carefully. Gabe's presence brings her pain, anger, and regret too close to the surface. She finds his intensity unnerving even as she fights her growing desire for this irritating, persistent man. Her sister's death appears to be tied to another case Gabe's working, and Meghan finds herself drawn into Gabe's world despite her protestations.Kylie Brant brings two cynics who believe the only person they can trust is himself or herself together in HARD TO HANDLE. While he was a juvenile delinquent and she was from a wealthy family, they both know the meaning of pain and betrayal. The growth of these characters as they begin the difficult job of exposing vulnerabilities and risking further hurt makes them endearing and believable. Further, outrageous, sizzling heat always threatens just beneath the surface to erupt in tumultuous passion, refusing to allow them to simply walk away. In addition, the inclusion of a five-year-old telepath lends HARD TO HANDLE an addition challenge, resulting in a vividly unique read. Very highly recommended.
