Dominic has and instant `love at first sight' attraction to the unknown woman dressed in tight black leather. As she steps off her motorbike and removes her helmet, her lush dark hair falls like a waterfall about her shoulders and he stares up at the sky wondering if the planets are in a romantic conjunction.They meet in his partner's office and nervously shake hands. Her name is Cassie - Cassandra, the beautiful maiden in Greek myth granted the gift of prophecy by Apollo. Does Cassie feels the same way about him as he feels about her? Only one way to find out: ask her for coffee.The coffee leads to, well, more coffee, there is a lot of caffeine keeping the buzz going as we urge Dom and Cassie to see what the reader wills them to see and the author cleverly keeps from us until...well, before we get down to the nitty gritty, there is a neat twist, concealed in the title: it is Dominic, not Cassandra, who has the gift of prophecy and, just what he sees in their horoscopes provides this romance with an ending that is what we expect, but not in the way we expected it. Looking up at the sky, I have to say I see 5 bright stars.
