To Hunt a Sainte by Marie HarteParanormal Romance- June 8th 20104 starsMarie Harte has written another stirring romance that packs a lot of heat and some very tense suspense. In this new series we are introduced to Buchanan Investigations, an extraordinary family who fight crime with their paranormal abilities.Alexandra Sainte is ambitious and headstrong. She wants nothing more than to be a contributing member of her uncle's PI business. But her family only want to keep her safe in the office doing research. Alex longs to prove her abilities in the field. With her special telekinetic powers she can move objects with her mind. And she has moves that are lethal. When she sees an opportunity to find evidence concerning a client's missing daughter she persuades her equally talented brother to break into a warehouse. But what she doesn't realize is that members of the powerful Westlake Enterprises, a firm that handles high-profile cases and occasional government work are doing surveillance at the same warehouse. And her impetuous break in just muddled their case. Not only do her actions cause the other agency's ire but Alex attracts the personal attention of the sexy as hell Hunter Greye. And Hunter has lethal paranormal powers, all of which seem to be directed at Alex!This story was a lot more involving than I expected. The author does a wonderful job of creating increasing suspense as she reveals the nefarious villain's true purpose. The tension between the 2 main characters is incredible and drawn out as I kept waiting for them to get 'together.' They had sizzling chemistry that made this book very racy. I loved the sections when Alex asserts her independence. I also enjoyed when Hunter reveals his inner turmoil and loneliness at being 'different' from normal people and his relief when he feels he can finally be himself with Alex. The author also introduces several intriguing secondary characters. Alex's brother Cole who can touch things and feel their history. This sensitivity has forced him him to create strong protective shields that I suspect a future heroine would love to get under. I was also curious about their cousin, who feels his gift to see the future is a curse and seems a tortured character.I feel this is an exciting new series that lovers of the paranormal and erotic romances will definitely enjoy. I know it did!Reviewed by Steph from the Bookaholics Romance Book Club
