Dr. Kate Morrison doesn’t know how or why someone would create human bombs that are triggered by touch. But when Sergeant Andy Wyles blocks Kate from touching the patient who collapses in her Vancouver ER, Kate joins the investigation to demand answers, regardless of the danger. As the two women work together to find those responsible for creating an army of human weapons, Kate finds it increasingly difficult to ignore her feelings for the fiercely protective and unrelentingly perceptive cop. The investigation escalates, and Kate gradually begins to trust Andy, not only with her safety but also with the difficult details of her past. With lives at risk and her heart on the line, Kate must search for a way to defuse the bombs and save her patients, even as she questions the intensifying connection between herself and Andy.

Jessica Webb has an inventive and deadly imagination that she puts to a story plot, exploding humans, that builds and twists in fingernail anticipation. So much so that I couldn’t put the book down. Kate, the ER doc who discovers the first human bomb has to work carefully with Sgt Wyles not only to save the poor human, but also to find out who created this threat and use her skilled touch to diffuse the situation. The underlying premise has legit scientific roots and the way this becomes the basis not only for a terrifying situation as more victims are found, but also tests both Kate’s and Andy’s skills. Can they learn to balance each other and open up their emotions under taut circumstances? Well I for one really enjoyed the plot and the interweaving with the slow build of a relationship. Good characters, exciting plot, action and intrigue make for an excellent read. I already purchased the next in the series and have added Jessica to my must read author list.
