Tara Carlisle, ex-army intelligence, has established a bookstore of the occult in a quaint small town in Connecticut for a change in her busy life. Now, she just wants to spend time working on old books and avoid thinking about anything else. When Garon Rothwell walks into her store, the sparks start flying between them and she tries to focus on his reason for being there. Because of her lack of self-confidence, she pushes him away without really knowing how he feels about her.
Garon Rothwell is a consultant, employed by Department 57 as a consultant, and is on a trip to retrieve a special book for his boss. Because of him being a sorcerer, he must abstain from having sex to maintain his powers, or so he has been told. He is sorely tempted by Tara’s beauty and fiery spirit, more than any other woman he’s ever met. He is in an uncomfortable position with Tara, because he is trying desperately to not feel anything for her, but it turns infernal every time they come close together. In the end, Garon realizes his true reason for seeking out Tara.
Department 57: Treasure Laid Bare is another story told about one of the Department 57 personnel handling a paranormal situation. This book had quite a few surprises for me, and it was an added a pleasant touch to read about previous characters coming to work the murders. The characterizations of the young rich college ladies was so right on, and their willingness to be part of a coven. I found it very refreshing to see that two people could find love in a dangerous setting and able to overcome the threat to them in the end.

Lynne Connolly has written a fantastic story of how love was able to survive, bringing family back together. Garon and Tara were the main characters determined to solve a mystery regarding the murders. Because of their complete trust in each other, it helped them to overcome the evil intentions of an entity that had special plans for them. This is a fascinating paranormal series and I am looking forward to the next book to be released.
