Rubin Campos is a Ghostwalker, a surgeon, a healer, and someone the team feels they need to protect. When things get to be too much for him, he goes back to the family home in the Appalachian Mountains. There, he patches up things, visits the family graves, brings medical treatment to those who live there still, and finds peace for a little while. This trip will be different because it seems that someone has been living in their homestead...

Another Ghostwalker, one of Whitney's women, has invaded their space, and Rubin and his brother, Diego, have no way of knowing if she is a friend or a foe. One look at Jonquille and Rubin knows it's a trap, but one that is aimed at his heart. She is hoping Rubin can help her learn to control or reverse the stuff done by Whitney. If not, Jonquille, has a secret plan--someone is following her and if Rubin can't help her she plans to go back out and take a few enemies with her. But Rubin isn't about to let her sacrifice for him.

LIGHTNING GAME is filled with danger, fast action, and steamy romance all at author Christine Feehan's Ghostwalker best. Ms. Feehan brings her readers another fan-favorite in Rubin and adds more to her Louisiana Bayou team by way of the Appalachian Mountains and a touch of island life. Rubin is a psychic surgeon, which out of necessity is kept a secret. He doesn't want to be captured and studied, thus the constant watching. Jonquille grew up as one of Whitney's experimented on girls. He wanted her to be a weapon dealing with lightning, but though she could gather the energy she could not control it. Rubin is her last hope.

The slow-burn romance is fascinating to watch; it is actually like watching a storm build until the final explosion of rain and lightning. Of course, she's afraid that getting too close will fry them both and Rubin is more than willing to find out. As the story plays out, Rubin is able to help Jonquille; not in the way she planned, but in a most amazing fashion that brings her into the protection of the whole team. And they help get rid of another bad guy who is mimicking Whitney, without the doctor's training.

To anyone who has read the Ghostwalker series and is not sure of their feeling concerning Dr. Whitney, after this book I daresay you will be more than willing to have the Ghostwalker teams put the man out of his misery. We get, through Jonquille's memories, more of his insanity and horrible, inhuman treatment of the girls he experimented on.

If you love action, danger, drama, romance, getting angry, laughing, and crying (sometimes at the same time) then get your hands on Ms. Feehan's latest book in the Ghostwalker series, LIGHTNING GAME.
