Blurb: Ben Nelson marvels at the resiliency of his lover, Artie Middleton. He takes everything life throws at him and comes out the other end stronger than ever. It’s with this strength in mind that Ben tosses Artie a curveball that will change both of their lives forever.

A single question from Ben’s lips has Artie rushing headlong toward his happily ever after. One that he never thought he’d have and is now being served to him on a silver platter. He has it all—friends, family, and a future. But even a gifted psychic can’t see everything, and Artie is about to get a wakeup call.

Things he thought to be true about his past aren’t as clear-cut as he believed. His history with some of the people in his life runs deeper than he realized. And he’s about to learn a previously unknown threat from his childhood has returned to rip it all away.

Artie soon finds that in this game, the stakes couldn’t be higher: the lives of everyone he loves.

Review: I just love this story. Out of all the characters in this series and collection I relate to Artie the most. I love his sweetness yet his power. There is a lot of mystery and intrigue as he finds out more of his past. As usual we get to see more of the others. I love Laurant’s charisma and how he is being more human than ever helping Artie plan for his wedding and being comic relief for the deep dark storyline.

I will say the ending blew me away and I cannot wait to see what comes next.

If you like physics, vampires, mystery and intrigue this is for you!

Blurb: Two months ago, Ben Nelson stepped between a vengeful demon and psychic Artie Middleton—and has been paying for that decision ever since. Now that the last rites have been administered, doctors are ready to pull the plug on the young police detective. The trouble is, Artie has seen his future and knows that Ben belongs there.

When a friend suggests a solution that seems…out of this world, Artie must face Ben’s parents and convince them that there’s a chance their son can be saved. Unfortunately, even if he succeeds, every good deed comes with a price.

And someone is always waiting to up the ante.

Review: This is book two of the Four of Clubs Series and book 7 of the pulp friction altered states collection. You do need to read each series in order. Though you don’t have to read the entire collection in order you would understand things much better if you do.

Artie doesn’t know what to do when the doctors convince Ben’s parents to pull the plug. He is sure after the one touch that Ben isn’t supposed to die since he saw them together in Ben’s mind.
When he talks to his friends Sabine he relents to letting Tempest visit. Tempest thinks she can help but it won’t be easy.

Of course if it had been easy we wouldn’t have had such an interesting nail-biting story. I sat on the edge of my chair wondering what was going to happen next. There was a cute surprise when Sabine visited Artie. I love this new addition. (I am not going to spoil it for ya.)

The poker game was lighthearted and helped to break up the drama until, of course, the darn cliffhanger ending!

What city where ghost stories and magic are prevalent would make a better setting for this story than New Orleans? I can’t think of any. With the perfect backdrop, a sexy array of supernatural, paranormal and superhuman, mystery drama and hot mansex, this collection of stories make a perfect summer read.

If you like ghosts, werewolves, physics, sex-demons, vampires witches and no telling what else may pop up, suspense drama, mystery and some romance this is for you!
