This book consists of three short stories.

In the first story Angel-Fire we are introduced to the pirate Jack Stanton and his lady Angelique. She is a gypsy that has caught his eye but it seems she may have caught him instead. As they enjoy each other Jack finds himself having a vision. Jack may not live long enough to find out what it all means. It seems that Angelique belongs to another man and he does not like to share.

In our second story The Phantom’s Lair we meet Katheryn Hollinsworth the daughter of the newly appointed Deputy Governor. During his stay on the island of Tortuga Jack not only saves Katheryn but also begins to loose his heart to her. Will love conquer all or will they forever only get fleeting moments of chance?

In the last story Storm-Singer the reader is transported to the Isle of Nyx where magic rules. There we meet the vampire pirate named Jaden and his love Arrah. While attacking a ship one night Jaden takes a prisoner, a beautiful lady named Sarita. All is not as it seems for the lovely lady Sarita holds a secret. Jaden keeps her at the island and tries to find out the secret she keeps. Will Arrah find that secret before it is too late or will she loose Jaden forever?

Each of these stories are quick paced and full of action. Both pirates Jack and Jaden are great characters with leading ladies that are strong enough to stand by their sides. If you enjoy romance and the sea this book is for you.

Psychometry is a psychic power which allows one to divine from holding or touching items. Visions of the past, present and some times the future are laid out before them.
Kevin has this power but hesitates to use it. He meets Candace and falls in love with her just before he starts his career as a policeman with hope of becoming a detective in homicide—his gift the motivating factor. When it comes to a crime against Candace, he must use his gift to save her from great harm or even death by the hand of a killer who wants revenge against Kevin.

This story has an interesting premise and Jennifer Robins has moved into new territory with this Psychic short story. The hero’s ability to see things when he touches objects is both interesting and adds a new depth to this piece, adding to that his new job as a policeman and you know you are in for an interesting story. The story itself is enjoyable and the characters are likable.
The main problem with the story is the constant head hopping. I wasn’t sure from one moment to the next whose point of view I was in. In fact Kevin’s abilities make me as a reader wish that the whole story was just told from his viewpoint.
