Prodigal Son (Truthseers)
Starred Review. Mullins (Too Wicked to Love) weaves a believable, spicy tapestry of love, intrigue, and family ties in this splendid paranormal romance. Cara McGaffigan will do anything for her bail-jumping stepbrother, Danny, her only living relative. Anything includes flying to Las Vegas in an attempt to find him before bounty hunter Rafe Montana does. Rafe is a Hunter whose family is descended from a survivor of ancient Atlantis, a man driven by past demons. Together, Rafe and Cara must unravel the mystery of Danny&'s disappearance and find him before he falls prey to sinister forces. Well paced and tightly plotted, this enthralling page-turner matches a strong yet vulnerable heroine with a flawed alpha male to create a deliciously engrossing story. Suspense and romance are wrapped together in such a way that neither overwhelms the other—and they combine beautifully with intriguing secondary characters, sensual passion, and powerful themes of trust and loyalty. Agent: Lucienne Diver, Knight Agency. (Oct.)
