Claire is an MX (eMpath with eXtra abilities). She provides her services under the umbrella of a corporation that gathers women like her. These girls are sensitive, and sensible, and powerful, so they have them in a short leash.Her handler gives her to Koda, a powerful warlord (blond hot hunk). She was sold, but she didn't know. There is a prophesy, but she didn't know. He knows, but he is not sure it is her.The book evolves showing us the world (pretty cool) and developing their relationship (lots of cultural clashes between the two). The program she belongs to is terminated, so she and all the other MX are in danger.I had a great time. Even when I wanted to punch the girl in the nose for being so green in relationships from time to time. The thing is... she was green. It was reasonable.The characters are interesting and well fleshed out, the pace is fast. There are some guts spilled, so HSP beware.I saw this book before publication because L. W. asked me to check the coherence of Claire as an empath. She is very well researched, and achieved (yes, a bit exaggerated at times, but not so much actually). The only thing that I have never seen before was her healing method.A SF novel that reads as Fantasy for the most part. A sweet romance, some nasty fights, bad guys getting sliced...Overall, it is great entertainment. Recommended.
