If you’ve been following for a while then you know how much I love this Harmony series Jayne Castle/Jayne Ann Krentz is writing. This takes place on another planet a couple hundred years in the future, however, once the original settlers made it there, the gateway closed and they were stuck, cut off from Earth. Their tech crumbled and they wound up having to adapt. So while they’re on another planet in the future, it’s very similar to the current year we the reader are in, here on Earth.

This book opens up with Leona at a really important event for her company and her career. She’s going to verify an artifact at an auction. However she keeps getting distracted by a man. Not just because he’s handsome, but also because no one else seems to see him. He’s moving in and out of the crowd as if it isn’t even there. She assumes this man is a thief, and she keeps an eye on him. But once she’s verified the item, things feel “off” to her. And she’s right! There’s a murder, and she’s right in the thick of it.

Oliver sees a damsel in distress, knows she didn’t kill the poor victim, and helps her out. Turns out he can make himself not invisible so much, as just no one will notice him. And he can keep Leona in his “bubble” as well, so the two of them jet out of the chaos and into the Underground tunnels.

What happens next is that the mystery goes much deeper than a dead body. There are stolen artifacts, an enthralled town, and an eccentric old man who seems like he’s pulling the strings one minute, and seems like he couldn’t find his way out of a wet paper sack the next. And through it all, the two of them are fighting their attraction to each other. Well, Leona is fighting it for a while, but Oliver is all in.

One of my favorite things about this series is the fun. These books are fun. They’re exciting, and sexy, and interesting, but they’re also fun, and I love how the men usually fall in love first, and the women need to be persuaded. I love the mystery, I love the romance, and I can’t wait for the next Harmony/Ghost Hunters book. They’re like candy! Easy to read, enjoyable to read, and you want to read them all in one sitting!
