Sheer Dynamite by Jennifer Skully

Opal Smith is uniquely normal for her family. While her mother, brother and sister are certified psychics, she feels cheated by her lack of abilities and wishes she could find that particular skill that would make her complete. So while driving one day, she has a vision of a body falling from a bridge onto the highway. Thinking this might be her gift, she slams on her brakes and finds herself the first car in a three car pileup. Jack Davis spent a good chunk of his life rescuing his mother from one ordeal after another. So when he runs into the beautiful girl’s rear end, his rescue instincts kicked in and soon Jack finds himself helping Opal to prove that her vision was real. But will Jack settle for being Opal’s knight in shining armor or will he risk everything to win Opal’s love.

Jennifer did it again. While the book started out slow, it finished with a bang (pun intended). Once I got past the middle of the book, I just couldn’t put it down. I liked the weird collection of characters that made up Opal’s family and how everything came together. Definitely enjoyable and worth reading.

Bottom line: A great book
