Rating: 5 out of 5

Everly Gray has the magic touch. Literally. When she touches people, she sees what they have been doing, what they're thinking, what they're planning. Her best friend Violet knows about her gift, but so far she's managed to keep it a secret from everyone else. She uses it carefully, to help her clients, but otherwise, well, no one knows. Then one morning at the beach she deliberately stumbles into the arms of a really hot photographer. That decision leads her to earth-shattering events, say, getting involved in murder and the mob, and narrowly escaping with her life. But escape she does, and her life is forever changed.My thoughts:  I love the whole getting free books for my kindle. I hope that it pays off for the authors as much as I theorize it does. Here's the thing. See, if I "buy" a book for free, and I like it, then I go see what else that author has written, and I buy follow-up books for money. But if I don't like it, I'm not out anything but a little time. This means that I know there is a follow-up novel, A Touch of TNT (An Everly Gray Adventure), because I just bought it and am eagerly waiting to read it. Maybe a nice long session in my tub? I'm just saying.I loved the book. I'm not much on romance, as anyone who knows me can attest, and I definitely appreciate that Charles didn't go into great walloping details about teh sex. I know people have sex, but I don't go watching them, and don't enjoy reading them. I'm perfectly content to know that the characters are all hot and bothered, and then they go into the room and shut the door, and what they do is their business, not mine.  Charles handled it beautifully, for someone like me.Grade: A+See original review at quirkygirlsread.wordpress.com.
