Blurb:
Meet Lyssa
Logan: Red-head, violinist extraordinaire, deli sandwich addict. Her
undergraduate music theory students call her “Sarge.” She hears you thinking
she’s a “7” on the 1-10 hotness scale, and she likes to solve crimes before
they happen. That’s not normal, but it gets worse. She suspects she’s not
aging, and lately she suffers from horrible headaches, spasms of debilitating
power she can’t control, and she’s losing her grip on reality.
Enter Kyros Vassalos: Molecular physicist by day and racquetball champion by night, and yes, those are leather pants he’s wearing. NASA, Interpol, and the Pentagon all have him on speed dial, but after a near-miss with an assassin, Kyros transfers to Northern California University to lay low for a while, until someone notices he’s not aging, either.
The moment Kyros sees Lyssa, he knows she’s of his kind. No hocus-pocus, no voodoo, they are simply among the very few “extra-sentient,” with the extraordinary ability to unlock the full potential of the mind. Kyros is desperate to teach her to control her power before it overwhelms and destroys her. Lyssa fears Kyros is more trouble than she bargained for, but once she steps into his world, there is no going back.

My review:
I love, love,
loved this book! Moriah Densley is
a “new to me” author but I can tell you I will be checking out her backlist and
looking forward to new installments of The Network. Mind Tamer is the first in an exciting new
series featuring extra-sentients. Extra-sentients are folks with extra gifts above
and beyond genius or savant levels. Kyros
Vassalos is a smoking hot extra-sentient who has been around for over 300
years. He is the good guy doing what he
can to make the world a better place. He is super smart but even he isn’t
prepared for Lyssa Logan. She is an extraordinary
violinist who moonlights as a crime stopper and is just coming into her
gifts. They chemistry between the two is
flammable and although she fights it Lyssa finds she needs Kyros for more than
just his help in training her gifts.
Although this book is billed as a paranormal romance it is more urban
fantasy. There isn’t a whole lot of sex
but rather a slow burn. Bottom line this
is a well written, fast paced action packed read that I really enjoyed.
