Eye of The Eagle, by Sharon Buchbinder, a Contemporary Fantasy Romance released by The Wild Rose Press, November 2018.
Anomaly
Defense Director and shape-shifter Bert Blackfeather doesn't need a
boss with no experience. So what if she's beautiful or gives him a
jolt when she shakes his hand? He never plans to get seriously
involved with another woman—not in this lifetime.
Phoebe
Wagner, an empath with psychometric abilities and an advocate for the
deaf, gets more than she bargained for with Bert. One touch and she
relives his IED injuries. So what if he's handsome and hot? She
doesn't need to add his secrets to her own. Phoebe's are bad enough.
When
his niece goes missing from Hotel LaBelle, Bert goes to Montana to
help—and Phoebe insists on going with him. Can these two
hard-headed people share their darkest secrets in order to work
together? It may be the only way to save an endangered child—and
their own hearts when Bert's past rears its ugly head.
Our
Review:
For
first dates, you gotta love a man who takes a woman to the local drag
queen competition--which goes to show the author's skill for weaving
wry humor into her writing. Bert Blackfeather is the hero of a
lifetime: brave, selfless, honorable. Phoebe Wagner is gutsy,
fearless and driven, a woman who thinks on her feet. And after you
meet her mother, you know immediately the apple didn't fall far from
that tree. This is a fast-paced read, the pages turn so fast you
almost regret reaching the last page.
It
is clear Ms. Buchbinder spent an incredible amount of time
researching this story a few of which include several physical
disabilities, Native American myths and beliefs, missing and
exploited children and human trafficking. For us this novel was a
two-fer: a page turner which teaches us a few things along the way.
One
question: when's the next in the Hotel LaBelle series due out?
On
a range of 1 to 5, Eye Of The Eagle rates a 6+
