Auckland, 1859Alexandra Greystone is a Supernatural. The power of deduction is her gift . . . and her curse. With one look, she can understand everything about a man: where he comes from, what he does for a living, and even if he cheated on her. Like her former husband.A marriage annulment is painful enough without Auckland’s peers doing nothing but gossip about her. Bruised and hurt, she accepts … she accepts a job with Military Intelligence Seventh Division to catch a dangerous criminal.
It’s the perfect solution: she’ll help people, escape Auckland, and keep her mind off her ex-husband and men.
Except that she has to work with Noah, a pugilist with an attitude and appalling manners to make a pirate look like a refined gentleman. Still, maybe an adventure with a man so different from the aristocratic gentlemen she’s used to is what she needs.
She wonders if her uncanny power will discover all his dark secrets. Or if her heart will be broken again.
For an adult audience only. It contains sex scenes and other dark themes

I loved Alexandra and Noah’s story! I can see how she fell in love with him. So brooding and irresistible, their attraction for each other simply flourished especially during their highly dangerous mission. Lots of action packed thrills and romance. Now I want to read the previous books in this series! Nicely done!

Compelling story that pulls you in, great characters, and who doesn’t love a steampunk themed world. Great addition to the previous novels in the series.

Wow! This is the first book I have read by Barbara Russell, even though I have two of her other books sitting on my Kindle. His Talent is a steampunk romance that has depth. I felt Alexandria’s pain and insecurity when she opened up about her ex-husband and the things he said and did to her. I also felt Noah’s pain, insecurities, and longing for a better life. Romance wasn’t the only aspect of this book; the mystery and adventure were equally good. I would love to see this as a movie and in audiobook format.
PS: I feel this review is inadequate because I can’t put into words how much I enjoyed and loved this story.
