Jonas “Smoke” Harper has watched his brothers find their perfect mates, never imagining he’d actually meet someone who complements every part of him — even the monster that lurks within. But his instant connection with Camellia goes far beyond wanting the intelligent, beautiful, and lethal woman in his bed. They are two parts of a whole, linked to each other and to a larger network that exists everywhere around them.

Camellia has lived on her own for a long time, relying on her unique psychic abilities to keep her safe. She knows that Jonas was literally made for her, and that makes their addictive connection more dangerous than a thousand enhanced super soldiers. Once the larger threat looming over them is dealt with she’s going to get far away as fast as she can. Life has taught her that the only one she can truly trust is herself.

Jonas can sense Camellia is going to run — and the hunter inside doesn’t want to let go. Not when he knows how good they’ll be together. So he’ll just have to use all of his considerable skills to convince her to stay..

Phantom Game by Christine Feehan

“He might be a dominant male with aggressive, violent tendencies when it came to battle, but there was also something intrinsically honest, even noble about him.”

Since I discovered the writing of Christine Feehan I’ve become obsessed with her work. I originally started reading her Torpedo Ink series because I love MC Romance. But once I crossed that bridge there was no going back. I wanted to get my hands on everything she’d ever written.

I have to admit that when I saw that this book was #18 in the GhostWalkers series it was daunting. I didn’t have time to go back to the beginning and I couldn’t resist reading Phantom Game, so I read it as a standalone hoping that it would make sense. I’m happy to report that it did. Was I curious about the stories of other characters that I met? Of course. Do I still want to read the first seventeen books? Of course. Was I lost reading this as a standalone? Not at all. Did I love it? Hell yes!

There’s so much content I couldn’t even begin to explain it, nor would I want to. Half the fun was going in blind and having my mind blown. And trust me, it was. The paranormal aspect is pretty amazing. GhostWalkers are basically enhanced soldiers. Scientific experiments living with the results of what was done to them. They have badass abilities and people who either want to use them or destroy them.

Finding love while living in a secret compound while facing danger on a daily basis is a pretty tall order. But nothing is beyond the brilliant mind of the author, who takes things I could never imagine and turns them into the most amazing and unputdownable stories. Once you’re hooked, she becomes your dealer. And no intervention is required, just the next book she writes. The line forms here…
