When Loni finally works up the courage to find Clint and tell him, he turns her away as a mentally unstable person, because as far as he knows, he doesn't even have a son.

The story unfolds from there in the way only Anderson can tell it.

I will say that if you're uncomfortable reading about spiritual or religious characters, you may not enjoy this book at all. The religious views are purveyed deeply throughout the story, which I did not mind, but it did cause the characters a lot of consternation.

The relationship between Clint and Loni was fairly good, and there were some memorable, funny, and moving scenes (when Clint discovered Loni was night-blind...the blood transfusion in the woods...), but I found the back story of Clint and Sandra (the boy's mother), somewhat weak and confusing. Catherine didn't give her readers a good understanding of why Clint and Sandra broke up in the first place. Apparently, they loved each other and were good friends, but then she didn't even have the decency to tell him he had a kid.

All in all, I enjoyed the book and liked the story as an interesting mix of romance and the paranormal. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys authors in this genre.

My review speaks only to the criticism raised by an earlier review. This book is about a family, the Harrigans. There is one sister and several brothers. The family is Catholic, however Faith or religion is not the overwhelming theme of the series.

My review speaks only to the criticism raised by an earlier review. This book is about a family, the Harrigans. There is one sister and several brothers. The family is Catholic, however Faith or religion is not the overwhelming theme of the series. In this book the brother who is the main character is in his late 30's and after years of having one night stands and short relationships he decides to forgo sex until he marries. The female lead is a clairvoyant who at age 31 is still a virgin because her gift has severely limited her opportunities for intimate relationships. Touching things brings on visions so she has made a career as an interior designer of new homes. In the one instance where she takes a job to redecorate the home of a couple whose daughter was kidnapped 6 months earlier it leads to disastrous consequences. In those instances where she has had the opportunity to meet eligible men they are afraid of her gifts. So she is a virgin as a result of lack of opportunity to meet men and fear from the few men she did meet and not because of any religious beliefs.
Both leads have sincerely deep religious beliefs. However if you read all the series you will not find that to be such an important part of the characters involved.
In my opinion this book portrays people much like my family. My brother is very religious, my sister who is an equally good person does not believe and I had beliefs but did not go to church until I was in my 40s. What I find bizarre is that few books of the romantic/paranormal/suspense type ever have characters with any religious beliefs at all! That is just not representative of our society.
At no time did I come away with the feeling that the author was promoting religion. It just happens that these characters have beliefs. There is still sex before marriage, suspense and romance!
For the longest time I have found it odd that popular fiction is devoid of characters with a strong faith unless the character is a priest or a person who acts devoutly religious and holier than all others while secretly being a pervert. Ms Anderson is to be commended for portraying characters that have values just as most of us do regardless of whether they are spiritual, religious or neither. This is a well told story and it no more promotes religion than it does promote believing in extrasensory perception.

I don't understand the negative reviews about this book. I just finished reading this book for the fourth time! I love it so much. My sister-in-law has also read it three times. We talk about how much we love this story and then we end up reading it again. Thank you for this amazing story.
