BOOK SYNOPSIS
Centuries ago, the passion they shared as Native American lovers ended in tragedy. Together again and unaware of their past, can they claim the love that’s rightfully theirs?
Seattle newspaper reporter Lainey Hughes is desperate to find her mother who has disappeared into a doomsday cult sequestered somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. She teams up with Gage Stuart, a jaded cop whose young son is also being held there. As they race up the coast in a kayak searching for their loved ones, Lainey’s visions show her the past . . . the present . . . and the future.
Lives are on the line. Love is within reach. And trust is hard to come by.
What Lainey Sees may help two wounded souls embrace their future . . . but only if they’ll learn from past mistakes.

EXCERPT
She interrupted him. “Hold me, Gage. Just hold me. We could have died back there. My God, what would have happened to my mother?”
There were times to think and times not to think. Like now. Gage shut his eyes and held her. For a minute, he pretended Keven was safe. They were safe. That everything was normal. He inhaled Lainey’s scent, the feel of her breasts beneath her jacket. His hand traced the curve of her hip, the swell of her tight, round ass. Sweet Carolina, she felt good.
“Gage?”
“Mmm-hmm?”
She dropped her arms, took his head between her hands and brought his face forward until his lips were within grazing distance of her own. “I . . . want . . . you.” Each word was a puff of heat sliding out from her lips into his.
His body responded in the most elemental way. He wanted her. Bad. He wanted to make this respite from danger last just a little bit longer. But that was his dick talking, and the last time he’d listened, he’d gotten his rocks burned, not off. He inched back and put some space between them. “You’re in shock, Lainey. You don’t know what you’re saying.”
She feathered her lips over his. “I’m saying I want you.”
The backs of his knees quivered.
She brushed her lips over his a second time. “You. Gage Stuart.”
“Now who’s teasing?” he asked thickly.
“I’m not teasing, I’m begging.” This lip brush had a little tongue action.
He trembled. He’d told her she would beg for him.
“Isn’t that what you wanted?” She licked his lower lip. “Me to beg?”
His mouth was on fire. “You don’t know what you’re saying.”
“I do, Gage. This time, I do. Make love to me.” Her eyes were a rich, dark chocolate, heavy-lidded with passion. “I need to forget everything for a little while. Celebrate being alive.” Her arms went under his shirt. “No strings. No ulterior motives. Just two people taking comfort from each other.” Her jacket sleeve was slippery cold against his skin, but her fingers were hot as they grazed his belly, his nipples. He shivered.
He was standing in a cold cave with a warm woman crawling all over him. Wanting him. His need was great, his body was primed, the woman was ready and willing. So why couldn’t he pretend it was just about sex?
Because this was different. The why of it didn’t matter. It just was. He needed Lainey Hughes like he needed his next breath.
Maybe even more.
MY REVIEW:
I HAVE NEVER READ ANY OF LAURA TOBIAS' BOOKS BEFORE AND I AM GLAD I DID. WHAT LAINEY SEES IS A SUSPENSEFUL, ROMANTIC, ACTION PACT THRILLER FULL OF MYSTERY THAT KEEPS YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT. I WAS DRAWN INTO THE STORY FROM THE VERY FIRST PAGE UNTIL THE VERY END. I LOVE HOW THE AUTHOR KEPT GOING BACK TO LAINEY AND GAGE'S PAST LIFE AND THEIR LOVE. BOTH MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES AND THEY ARE A GETTING A SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE.
LAINEY AND GAGE ARE ON A JOURNEY AND A MISSION TO SAVE THE ONES THEY LOVE. IT IS A DANGEROUS MISSION AND THEY ONLY HAVE SO MUCH TIME TO REACH THEIR LOVED ONE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. I LOVED THE CONSTANT BICKERING BETWEEN LAINEY AND GAGE. THE CHEMISTRY WAS INSTANT AND BOTH OF THEIR PERSONALITIES WERE CONSTANTLY CLASHING. DESPITE THEIR PAST CONNECTION, THEIR FEELING FOR ONE ANOTHER DEVELOPED OVERTIME. IT WAS NOT LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT WHICH I LIKED. THEY FELL IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER FOR WHO THEY WERE. I LOVED THE STRUGGLE LAINEY WAS GOING THROUGH TO ACCEPT HER POWER AND WHO SHE REALLY WAS. IT WAS A CONSTANT BATTLE FOR HER AND IT SHOWED HOW STRONG SHE WAS. WHEN SHE FINALLY ACCEPTS WHO SHE IS AND WHAT POWER SHE POSSESS, EVERYTHING MAKES SO MUCH MORE MORE SENSE FOR HER. THE ONLY PROBLEM LEFT IS GAGE ACCEPTING THE TRUTH. WILL HE BE ABLE? WILL LAINEY AND GAGE REACH THEIR LOVED ONES IN TIME?
I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE WHO LOVE A GOOD ROMANCE SUSPENSE FILLED WITH ACTION AND MYSTERY. THE PAST LIFE WAS ANOTHER WONDERFUL TOUCH TO THE STORY. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS AUTHOR'S WRITING AND I WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO READING MORE OF HER BOOKS. SHE HAS A WAY OF PULLING YOU INTO THE STORY AND HOLDING YOUR ATTENTION TO THE VERY END. I COULD NOT PUT THE BOOK DOWN AND I COULDN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. 5 STARS
AUTHOR BIO

The question was: how could she daydream for the rest of her life and get paid for it? The answer: Trade the crayons for a computer and write those stories down. Oh, and grow up first. She’s managed the first two. She’s still working on the growing up part.
Laura Tobias lives with her family, including two Shetland sheepdogs, in the Pacific Northwest. When she’s not reading or writing she’s either playing in the garden or spying on people at the grocery store.
