Book Reviews of Running Hot (Arcane Society, Book 5)
Book Review: Romantic suspense with psychic thrills
Summary: 4 Stars
In //Running Hot//, ex-cop Luther Malone is assigned to bodyguard librarian Grace Renquist as they prepare to use their paranormal gifts to try to identify a suspected murderer. As the electric current between Grace and Luther becomes more evident, the secret past life Grace carefully hides becomes less of a threat to her well-being. However, there is much more going on at the resort where they pose as honeymooners then they initially thought. A secret meeting of rogue sensitives, that use their gifts to ruthlessly achieve what they want, brings the threat of real danger to Grace and Luther. As their employer, Jones & Jones, scrambles to provide more coverage to their inexperienced librarian and her handicapped bodyguard, Luther and Grace develop a bond stronger than just love can build. Something only persons with their powers can create.
This is a book that is part of the Arcane Society Novels. If this book is any indication of what those novels are like, I look forward to reading the others as well. This was a book with interesting characters, and the addition of the paranormal aspects kept the book from being a typical romance story. Yes, there is a deepening bond between 2 people, and hot sex, but there is also a bit of a mystery here, and the other-worldly aspects of the book kept the story interesting, as I continued to read to learn more about what that was all about.

Summary of Running Hot (Arcane Society, Book 5)
The New York Times-bestselling author of Sizzle and Burn has a brand-new Arcane Society novel.Ex-cop Luther Malone, lifelong member of the secretive paranormal organization known as the Arcane Society, is waiting to meet Grace Renquist. Hired as an aura-reading consultant in the quest for a murder suspect, she's got zero field experience. She's from tiny Eclipse Bay, Oregon. She's a librarian, for heaven's sake.
As for Grace, she's not expecting much either from Malone, who walks with a cane and isn't so good with a gun. Nice r?sum? for a bodyguard . . .
But even before they reach their hotel in Maui-where they'll be posing as honeymooners-Grace and Luther feel the electric charge between them. Problem is, they need to remain vigilant day and night, because it soon becomes clear there's more going on here. Rogue sensitives-operatives for the underground group Nightshade-are pouring into the luxury resort like there's a convention. Grace recognizes those dark spikes in their auras. She saw the same pattern in someone else in another life-a life she hasn't revealed to Luther or anyone else. And she understands how dangerous these people can be . . . especially with those para-hunters at their sides.
While the pair's employers at Jones & Jones scramble to get them backup, Luther and Grace have to think on their feet. The criminals in their midst aren't just high-level sensitives: They've enhanced their talents with a potent-and unpredictable- drug. And as Grace knows all too well, if you don't control your powers, your powers will control you. . . .
