I enjoyed Three of Swords, the first in the Precog in Peril series. The story centers around Gray Vecello, a hairdresser with the ability to see the future, especially when he reads the Tarot. As the story begins, Gray is drifting through life. Ignoring his special ability, he works for a boss he can't stand and keeps his love life casual. So when he inherits a houseboat from his grandfather, Graham, it's easy to believe Gray would pull up stakes and go. Aboard the boat he meets Cooper, a young man Graham rescued from a life on the streets. As Gray becomes romantically involved with Cooper, he begins to suspect his grandfather's death was more than just a tragic accident.Three of Swords contains lots of paranormal staples -- Tarot readings,prophetic dreams, secret psi-groups and spirit guides. My favorite part, however, was the perfectly believable relationship between Gray and Cooper. They behave realistically, their dialogue always rings true, and their mutual attraction feels authentic. It's a pleasure to read a m/m romance where the fantasy elements relate to the plot, not the pairing.I liked the cliffhanger ending and I've already moved on to book two!
