Wow, I loved this book.  I've been on a bit of a Mary Harte kick lately; tearing my way through the Circe's Recruits, Dawn Endeavor, and ,now, PowerUP! series.  (They're all loosely tied together)  I haven't reviewed any of them thus far because sometimes Ms. Harte can get downright dirrrty.  I'm no prude but I think I've been carrying around a perpetual blush since starting these books about a week ago :)  BUT I just loved Retrocog so much I had to share.Noah First is a retrocrog, it's the opposite of a precog.  He sees visions of the past.  His boss has set him on a task to find a painting that's been stolen and may or may not have psychic properties.  When he arrives in Brownville, Arizona he's bombarded with scenes of the past.  He checks into the Lady Fine Inn and there he meets Lara, the inn manager.  Lara's a little quirky in her own right. She's been hearing the voices of the dead since she was a child.  Together they  unravel the secrets of the past, track down a serial killer, and fall in love.Sheesh, what can I say? I just fell in love with Noah's character.  He's a passionate guy who's lost his way.  Written off since childhood as crazies because of their psychic gifts Lara and Noah have so much in common.  Their instant attraction had me melting.  Not to mention when things start to get physical. YUM. Noah's visions of the past were so well written; it was easy to imagine the old west town. Ms. Harte has a talent for writing a great story with heat :)
