Review Copy Received from Author
Summary: Jena Childs didn’t ask to be gifted. Yet, her life has been overwhelmed by a psychic power she can’t control. The sexy Londoner’s power to shape plus control electricity separated her from the norm since the day she’d been born. Yet, she never stopped longing for the acceptance that had long been denied her. In an impulsive act to change her living circumstances, Jena is caught using her abilities leading to a meeting that will change her life forever.
Agent for a super secret psychic operations program MI7, Adam Reynolds isn’t looking for anything from the buxom cocoa-skinned beauty he’s been sent to append for involuntarily induction into MI7’s psychic ops program. But, one glance into her deep dark eyes stirs feelings in him he’d accepted he’d never know. The turn of her head and the moistness of her lips bring out a longing for connection to her in him that leads him to put his life on the line to avoid Jena’s capture by his superiors and the psychic crime organization, The Pulse.
Their desire--immediate, strong and undeniable--leads them into each others’ arms, where Adam receives a startling revelation that could mean Jena’s life or death. A thousand lost lifetimes are revealed in his lover’s eyes, leading Adam on a quest to discover the mysterious origins of his own soul and the tie to the woman who walked out of his dreams into his life.
Yet, the dogged determination of a secret enemy has the potential to drive the lovers apart forever. Can Adam, seeking redemption from the damnation of a thousand lost lifetimes, save the woman he loves from death or will a tragic history repeat itself?
Kathy’s Review: I really enjoyed Nirvana by new-to-me author, Tara Newlands. Not only for the psychic elements ~ which are among my favorites ~ but for the way that she wove together the past and the present... or perhaps I should say the ‘pasts’ and present.
I liked Jena; she was trapped in a society where her value was determined by her abilities... and who would be able to own these same talents. Not a pleasant place to be at all. But she wasn’t a quitter, even when faced with odds stacked heavily against her.
Adam was already having doubts as to what he was called to do as an agent of MI7. But meeting Jena and the subsequent knowledge he gains about their connection throughout the ages really has him reeling ~ and learning more about who he is now and what he’s willing to do to make amends.
I have to admit that I’m intrigued by this society; I can see a lot of potential for more stories in the vein of Nirvana. The battle for control over those with psychic abilities is, for me, a series waiting to happen... well, it would if I could write. *grin*
I was also fascinated by the way that Ms. Newlands worked the themes of reincarnation and gods in her story, and while the way that the story ended was completely unexpected, it works. So if you enjoy stories rife with past lives, psychic abilities, battles between good and evil, along with a sweet romance, then you will want to try Nirvana by Tara Newlands. I know that I’m glad I did!
