Private Investigator Frank McGuire uses his precognitive ability to solve crimes. This time, he’s not just seeing the snapshots in his mind though. Frank has called forth a ghost and it won’t leave him alone. Frank’s younger lover Rand Brennan isn’t happy about Frank leaving on assignment to find three missing little girls. And while Frank’s is gone, Rand is making some big changes in his life and his relationship with Frank.

In the first Crossroads book, Frank puts the force in forced seduction, making his and Rand’s first time a bit uncomfortably realistic, albeit hot. I’ve gotten to know Frank though, and I get why he did what he did and why he does what he does.  He’s a man of few words, unless you count growling out his feelings as communication. The depth of characterization and intriguing storylines has continuously grown in the Crossroads series. While the first book was a good story, and the second even better, Crossroads Showdown is my favorite. It may be notably short in length, but it’s big on story. Mysterious, suspenseful, and with a bit of hot sex, the Crossroads series just gets better and better. I hope there is more to come with these increasingly provocative characters.
