Summary: UNEXPECTED! UNFORGETTABLE!
Review: Theresa Weir never writes what you expect -- unless you expect the unexpected! Say "romance fiction" and you think "two fairly normal people" and "obstacles to a happy ending" equal a pretty good book. With Theresa you get sometimes pretty "un-normal" people, or pretty flawed people, or people who are just barely coping, people who make you stop and think. Cleo is one of those people. She has problems -- serious problems. But she is not without redeeming qualities. In fact, in her slightly skewed way, she's wonderful. And Daniel, the sceptical cop who is drawn to her all the time he knows he should be running the other way, is pretty wonderful too. If you've ever gotten involved against your better judgement, you will appreciate this book. If you've ever had a few less than perfect storybook moments in your life, you will appreciate this book. If you want standard romance fare, you will probably wish you'd picked up another book. But Theresa always makes me think, she always challenges the boundaries of the genre. She always makes me glad I read her books.

Summary: Almost as good as "Cool Shade"
Review: Theresa Weir takes a lot of chances with this book. Even more than usual! Her heroine, Cleo, is a reluctant psychic with an eating disorder. Her hero, Daniel, is a cop taking care of his mentally challenged brother. They make mistakes -- sometimes big ones.There are twists in both the characters and in the plot. Also, Theresa Weir is not afraid to challenge the reader. She plants clues instead of spelling everything out. I think that shows a lot of respect for her readership. I gave this book as an A at All About Romance.
