Fiction. Mystery. Romance. Suspense. Zoe Luce is a successful interior designer in the Arizona town of Whispering Springs who's developed an unusual career specialty-helping recently divorced clients redesign their homes, to help them forget the past and start anew. But Zoe knows that some things can't be covered up with a coat of paint. And when she senses that one of her clients may be hiding a dark secret, she enlists PI Ethan Truax to find the truth. Working together, they solve the mystery . . . and barely escape with their lives. But Ethan's exquisite detection skills are starting to backfire on Zoe: she never wanted to let him find out about her former life; she never wanted to reveal her powerful, inexplicable gift for sensing the history hidden within a house's walls; she never wanted him to know that "Zoe Luce" doesn't really exist. She never wanted to fall in love with him. Now, no matter how much she resists, Ethan may be her only hope-because the people she's been running from have found her. And just when Zoe dares to dream of a normal life and a future with the man she loves, her own past starts to shadow her every step-and threatens to take her back into a nightmare.… (mer)

What I really liked in this book was how easily Ethan accepted everything Zoe threw at him: murder, blackmailing, escaping from the mental hospital, extra senses - no problem, everything will be fine, you can trust me. He was always on her side and I loved it. Five stars and a little heart for Ethan :) ( )

As with a lot of this author's work, this is a mix of romance, suspense and extrasensory perception. Zoe is an interior designer with two secrets: one is that she picks up sensory clues from places where negative emotions have impressed themselves, often from a crime of violence. This provides the impetus for her to hire a private detective, Ethan, to investigate the possibility that a new client may have murdered his wife. The other secret is shared with a friend of hers, and provides the main plotline.

The main characters were fairly convincing and the romantic aspect not overplayed, with the sex scenes not cringe making. There was also some light and humorous interplay from Ethan's young nephews. I did find some of the dialogue more like something from a corporate brochure than how people actually speak.

There could be a trigger for some readers as two minor characters have a propensity for sexual violence against women, though they don't actually succeed in their attempted rapes. The female protagonist is active and courageous, and does not passively await rescue by the hero when danger ensues, which was positive. On the whole, a nice light read but not a keeper, so for me this rates 3 stars. ( )
