Sports agent Dexter Brantley started his own agency soon
after graduating college and quickly acquired the
nickname "Lucky Bastard" thanks to his ability negotiate
tremendous deals for his gifted clients. Psychic Lara
Wyland and Dex met five years ago under less than
auspicious circumstances. Lara receive a call from Victor
Marek, a strong NFL kicker, who wanted to remove the curse
his grandmother put on his leg after he forgot her
birthday. At the time Dex, thought the idea of a curse was
ridiculous and made it clear to everyone involved and that
might not have been a wise thing for him to do. According
to legend Dex, at thirty-three, has hit the magic age at
which the men of the family begin to loose all they've
acquired. Still it takes two homes destroyed by fire, a
rapidly shrinking client roster, a new nickname of Dex the
Hex, and a nine-car pileup on the George Washington Bridge
to convince Dex he might want to address the family curse.
Now Dex is calling Lara on his own behalf.
Lara has her own troubles. She has psychic gifts that she
can't ignore or she'll cause electromagnetic static
wherever she goes. Lara is also getting grief from her
mother and other psychics for agreeing to use her gifts to
make a living. When she gets Dex's call, she has to choose
between a nice paycheck and more grief from other psychics
or saving her pride and going broke. She makes the wise
choice with the paycheck. After being flown out to Brantley
family's island in the St. Lawerence River, Lara begins to
wonder if it really was the wise choice.
Likeable characters and an unique story make this book
entertaining. There are suspenseful moments when it is
revealed that not all the threats to Dex and Lara are
coming from the spirit realm. Chasing down the bad guy and
saving the girl might be predictable, but that doesn't mean
it's not satisfying to read about!
Sports agent Dexter Brantley used to be the luckiest guy on
the planet. But between the house fires, car wreck and half
his clients dumping him, "Dex the Hex" is a wreck himself.
Worse, there's a rumor floating about a family curse. If he
weren't so paranoid, he would swear someone is out to get
him!
It's time to take action. Ordinarily Dex would never spend
the weekend with a paranormal hunter—even the very hot Lara
Wyland—but he's desperate. Still, with one sexually charged
moment, Dex doesn't have to be psychic to know he's about
to get lucky. Again and again…
