Josh Mackay is hired to bring in Kiran Brunner, a Minder with the psychic ability to manipulate and kill. But Kir has been abused by the agency that wants him back and he’ll do anything to escape.

First book in the Minders series.

Josh Mackay’s job is to lure Kiran Brunner to a safe house. That part’s easy. The boy—Minder or no—is beautiful and surprisingly naive. Hunted by those who want to harm him, Kir doesn’t recognize Josh’s trap until it is almost too late.

But Kir gets his hooks in Josh. When his job is done, Josh cannot walk away. Not only because of what Kir is, but because of why the agency wants Kir back.

Josh wants above all to protect Kir. But Josh doesn’t know if that’s the right thing to do, or if he’s unknowingly succumbed to the Minder’s control.

Warning, this title contains the following: violence and hot nekkid man-love.

  1. Josh is an alpha male without being a jerk: he’s noble, capable and action-oriented, but also generous, kind and tender. (You know, the kind of hero I wish I could find in a straight romance.)...As MONSTER reached its cliffhanger, the author gave a few peeks into the dark sides of Minder culture. I took it as a promise that the two future installments will explore those shadows further. I look forward to the trip.

  2. ...a beautiful story…

  3. Rating: 4/5 Stars Heat level: H ...a hauntingly beautiful tale…I felt like I was intruding on a love story and the emotions in their sexual encounter, while not scorching, were wonderful…A breathtaking story, the series will continue with the roles being reversed, and I for one, cannot wait.”

  4. Rating: 4 Stars Heat level: H ...Ms. Skye has created an emotionally engaging, saddening, and somehow loving story…Their lovemaking is tender, sensual, and sizzling at the same time, with just a hint of the love that may come in the future. Unfortunately, Kir’s ability as a Minder leaves Josh with a taste of distrust and leaves the reader wondering what may happen next. With two more installments coming in the future, I can hardly wait to see how their relationship develops into more.
