Publisher: Dreamspinner Press

Talon Valdez knew when he transformed into an enhanced human, his life and his dreams were finished. Reviled, mistrusted, and often locked away, the enhanced were viewed as monsters, despised by the public, and never trusted to serve in the military or any law enforcement agency.

Years later he gets a chance to set up a task force of enhanced to serve in the FBI, but with one proviso: each enhanced must partner with a regular human.

Finn Mayer dreamed of joining the FBI from the time he was fourteen and made every possible sacrifice to make it happen, including living with his selfish mother and bullying, homophobic brother and never having a boyfriend. But his undiagnosed dyslexia stopped his aspirations dead in their tracks. His last chance is to partner with Talon, an enhanced with deadly abilities who doesn’t trust regular humans with their secrets and wants Finn to fail.

Four weeks to prove himself to the team. Four weeks for the team to prove itself to the public. And when another group threatens their success—and their lives—four weeks for them to survive.

Engaging, exciting, hot!!

With Five Minutes Longer, her first book published by Dreamspinner Press, she once again brings us her brand of action and adventure coupled with strong, yet tender, characters. The story is about an enhanced group of humans, who society doesn’t trust or understand. The enhanced humans have varying abilities (think X-Men). Their enhancements manifest themselves during adolescence and when this happens many of the children’s families reject them.

Talon Valdez is the team leader of a group of enhanced humans that have been selected to serve in the FBI. The catch? Each enhanced must partner with a regular human.

Finn Mayer wants nothing more than to join the FBI and leave his homophobic brother and selfish mother. He studied his butt off but never managed to achieve high marks in school due to undiagnosed dyslexia. But, Finn has a gift for numbers and it’s this background that might make it possible for him to become an agent.

This was a very exciting story to read and it also managed to shred my emotions in places. Talon and his enhanced teammates have a lot to overcome and Finn has a lot to prove to the enhanced humans who want nothing to do with partnering with regular humans.

Talon and Finn both have secrets and their journey to be together has many obstacles to overcome but reading their story was worth every bit of angst-ridden moment.

I hope that there will be more stories for the H.E.R.O.s (Human Enhanced Rescue Organization). I want to read more about the other team members!

VICTORIA SUE…

Wrote her first book on a dare from her hubby two years ago and he says he has regretted it every day since. Loves writing about gorgeous boys loving each other the best—especially with either a paranormal or a historical twist. Had a try at writing contemporary but failed spectacularly when it grew four legs and a tail. Loves her wolves!

Is an English northern lass but is currently serving twenty to life in Florida—unfortunately, she spends more time chained to her computer than on a beach.

Loves to hear from her readers and can be found most days lurking on Facebook.
