A friend of mine recommended this book.  I was a little apprehensive at first.  Romance stories aren't really my thing, but I picked it up anyway.  I read the first few pages, and then I thought to myself "okay, this isn't bad."  So I read a little more.  Again, I stopped and thought "okay, this is actually really good."  After that I dove back into the story and that was that.  I was hooked.Watching Over the Watcher is not your typical romance novel.  You know what I'm talking about, those stories you see at the grocery store with the ripped cowboy on the cover.  Don't get me wrong, I'm sure those are great books if you're into that sort of thing, but I'm a guy.  I walk by those, and I think to myself "barf!"  I can tell you, from a male reader's perspective, Watching Over the Watcher has a zero barf factor.  It's hot.  There are some steamy scenes, but trust me, those won't just appeal to women.  Men will be like "wow!"  I'm actually going to ask my wife to read the story.  It might spice things up if you know what I mean.So anyway, back to the story.  You'll find steamy, you'll find sexy, but you'll also find a really good thrilling plot in this story.  The characters have tons of layers which are slowly peeled back over the course of the book.  You feel a connection with them right off the bat, and you want to know more.  The main character, Selene, is a cop with a mysterious gift.  Brandon is her rock, strong but with a hint of vulnerability.  Maggie is Selene's reliable friend and confidant.  I found the dialogue to be very well written, very realistic.  The author writes with excellent descriptiveness, painting a vivid picture for the reader.  The reader sees and feels the character's terror, tension, lust, and triumph.  The story feels right, never awkward, a credit to the author and the editor.Be advised, this is not some cookie-cutter love story.  The story contains crime, serious police subject-matter, and dark twists.  Oh, and there's a stalker too. Creepy. That's what kept me reading.  That's why this book can be appreciated by both sexes.  I'd really like to see this turned into a film.  Check it out, read it, and let me know which actors you think would be awesome if this were turned into a movie.I would also like to say the book cover is excellent.
