| Theresa Williams is afraid that her Schizophrenia and OCD may be out of control when she begins to panic on her way to work. While in the middle of an extreme panic attack, she is arrested and taken into custody for internet fraud. Caleb and Ethan are agents for The Agency, a branch of the federal government specializing in psychic warfare. On the trail of a terrorist, they are bombarded by Theresa's panic, and have no choice but to attempt a rescue.
This was a big story in a little book. I enjoyed the book, but it was just too big of an undertaking for such limited space. I really needed for the back story of Ethan and Caleb to be fleshed out more. There were some details, but for the betrayal and such a massive conspiracy, there needed to be a lot more. This is not necessarily a complaint, it just means I wanted to get to know the characters better. The circumstances that allow the three to become a romantic interest were at times puzzling. Theresa is a shy, frightened, introvert with very little prior sexual experience who jumps into a ménage with two men she just met. All this aside, the actual sexual content was handled very well. It was sensual without being overly graphic. I will take a chance on book two when it comes out, because with just a few minor tweaks this could be a very good series.
