Every Breath She Takes

Lauren's Eyes is a book that drew me in and wouldn't let go. I loved the characters. Cal Taggart is a handsome hero, and Lauren Townsend a compelling heroine with psychic ability. The mystery is intricately interwoven into a story I read from cover to cover in no-time-flat. You'll love this book.

Suppose you "saw" a murder that hasn't happened yet. Would you want no part of it or feel compelled to try to stop it? Lauren Townsend's answer to both those questions was a resounding "yes." She follows the clues in her vision, tracks down the place and even the victim -- then manages to become attracted to Cal Taggart, the perspective victim's ex-husband, who is incidentally Lauren's prime suspect for intended murderer. Norah Wilson has crafted an exceptional tale rife with tension -- the good old-fashioned kind, full of suspense and mystery, as well as a major dollop of sexual tension. Does Lauren follow all the logic that points to Cal on a quest to do away with his trollop of an ex-wife? Or does she follow her heart as it insists that Cal is incapable of such a heinous act and just might be the love of her life? Don't take my word for it -- find out for yourself that "Lauren's Eyes" is a definite keeper. Move over Nora Roberts -- there's a new Norah in town!

If you want a spine-tingling romance with intriguing mystery and a touch of the paranormal, run to your nearest book store for Lauren's Eyes by Norah Wilson. Lauren Townsend has ignored her visions in the past, but now, driven by guilt, she decides this one can't be ignored any longer. She must find the woman in her visions and save her life. Her quest takes her to a dude ranch, where she meets owner, Cal Taggart. The sparks fly, the attraction sizzles, but the shocker for Lauren comes when she meets the victim, and realizes Cal, the man with whome she's begun a relationship, is the most likely suspect in a murder that hasn't happened yet. Ms Wilson twists the plot, tightens the sexual tension and drives up the stakes for both Lauren and Cal. The only question remaining is - Has Lauren made the right choices? Lauren's Eyes is by far one of the best books of the year. I highly recommend it!

Norah Wilson is an exceptional writer, the kind you can't wait to tell your friends about. In her award winning book, Lauren's Eyes, Ms. Wilson has created unforgettable characters and enough suspense to keep you guessing until the end. Wait `til you meet Cal Taggart, my all time favorite hero. The heroine, Lauren Townsend, is gutsy, determined and yet, vulnerable, and the perfect match for the disillusioned cowboy. This is one of the best stories I've read in a long time. I'll definitely be watching for more of Norah Wilson's books.

Veterinarian Lauren Townsend ignored the first vision of murder until she learned that she had seen the victim before the homicide occurred. When the second vision occurs, feeling guilty, but not trusting the cops would accept her as "reliable" she decides to act on her own. In her last vision Lauren saw a matchbook cover for Foothills Guest Ranch and immediately books time there as a guest. At the ranch she meets owner Cal Taggert who hopes to save his near bankrupt cattle spread with a guest section. Cal and Lauren are instantly attracted to one another. When his ex-wife Marlena appears, Lauren recognizes her as the upcoming victim. She begins to wonder if Cal, who she has fallen in love with, could be her killer as the hostility between the pair is cutting. LAUREN'S EYE is an engaging paranormal romantic thriller that makes readers believe that the gift or curse (responsibility is quite frightening) is a skill that the heroine possesses (even Randi the Great would become a true believer). The story line is character driven though the plot is loaded with action and suspense. Lauren at times seems vulnerable like Bergman in Suspicion as she wonders whether her heart could betray her. Sub-genre fans will keep an eye on Norah Wilson following this strong tale. Harriet Klausner
