ARC - I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
Mia was used to people doubting her abilities.
She always tell them that it is not an exact science. It is hit or miss.
They never believer her.
When a vision is to strong to ignore, Mia takes action.
She hopes that they will listen to her warning.
That is when Dan Romeo of the Phoenix Agency comes to investigate.
Now Mia is involved in the investigation as well.
Did a mention that she also had visions of Dan ? ( As Dan is naked. Totally Yummy! )
At first, Mia pushes those vision aside.
However the attraction is too strong not just for Mia, but also for Dan.
When Mia is almost killed, Dan will do anything to protect her.
Now that he found "the one," he will make sure that nothing else happens to her.
This is a fast paced, action filled + drama packaged book.
There are hints of who the villains are, but the author does a good job of leaving you guessing until the very end.
Loved this series!

Well written military psychic read. This wasn't for me, but was still a good sexy story.

Dan Romeo has a take charge personality and doesn't do permanent relationships. He's in town for some R and R and to see his friend's unveiling of a highly sought after robot. The last thing he wants to do is get involved in a security threat, but when he tracks information to a lovely art curator, and discovers her psychic abilities, he can't help but pour all his resources into keeping her safe.

Mia Fleming is an art curator, lives a relatively boring life, and has the gift-or curse-of precognition. She's a little wonky with her predictions, but couldn't live with herself if she doesn't warn the company about a possible security breach and danger. When Dan tracks her down, Mia realizes he's the nameless man she's been seeing visions of and life as she knows it is about to take an interesting turn.

Dan and Mia's relationship came on fairly quick and had a decent amount of steam. They clicked believably well, considering the short time span, and I liked that they actually had conversations trying to solve the crime instead of spending the entire book in bed.

The mystery was relatively well done. I had one of the villains pegged early on, but the other I didn't catch until they were revealed. Lots of potential possibilities kept me on my toes guessing for most of the story and I had fun trying to figure out who did it!

Extrasensory was a good mix of romantic suspense, psychic visions, humor, and mystery. There's a fair amount action that kept the story's momentum going. Dan and Mia's romance was enjoyable and blended well with the mystery. I also liked how the secondary characters provided humor and levity when things got tough. Book two in the Phoenix Agency, I easily read this story as a stand alone.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from the publisher via NetGalley.

I really enjoyed the book. It had it all romance, mystery, suspense and intrigue.

I'm a sucker for this type of a story, but Holt has brought an unusual twist- Mia's skill is something that she has publicly misinterpreted in the past and she often gets her visions wrong. This isn't written for a comedy of errors; instead the reader sees Mia investigating her latest vision to try to determine exactly what it means.

This is book 2 in the series and is far better and more developed than the first book. I would guess that Holt has a stronger vision (pun intended) for how she wants this series to unfold. I'm excited for Book 3.

Extrasensory is the second book of Desiree Holt’s Phoenix Agency and continues the theme of action-packed, intrigue laced, and beautifully passionate romantic suspense.

While consumed with an undeniable physical attraction, Dan and Mia can’t ignore that danger that’s constantly in their path or the connection that could cost their lives.

Great story building, wonderful characters and edge of your seat mystery; these are the attributes of a fabulous story!

Sometimes after reading the last page of a book, you have to rethink everything twice. That was my first reaction to Extrasensory. Maybe it was because of the erotic visions that Mia had about Dan.
Although they were definitely hot scenes, they where a bit standalone in the total story. Because the rest of the story, about how Mia has visions about how there are being people killed in the company where Dan is working, is very intriguing. The total build-up of the theft of the new prototype of technology which will be the new phase in warfare is full of suspense. And when the bodies are piling up, you really want to know who is behind this. Mia’s visions give you step by step inside information and you kind of guess along with Dan and Mia in how the master mind of the theft is thinking.

I really liked Faith, the wife of Dan’s colleague, who has extrasensory powers as well. She stood by Mia to help her get more focused on the visions and how to interpret them. The story of Faith and her husband Mark is actually the first book of the Phoenix series.
You don’t have to read this one to understand the story of this book. But I think I’ll try to read that book later.
In all, 3,5 out of five stars from me, with a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

This is Book 2 in the Phoenix Agency series. What a great series. I love each book in it. Dan is the Senior Partner in the Phoenix Agency. He knows nothing in life is ever simple. He’s just come off of a successful job and decides to go to San Antonio to see friends and the new partners of Phoenix. While there, he meets up with Mia, who just happens to have precognitive abilities. The things that happen in this story are so hard to believe. Mia can see things before they happen. That is such an awesome ability. Her skills grow so much throughout this story. You can see her confidence grow as you read each page. I loved this book and can’t wait to see what happens to the guys of the Phoenix Agency. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book that I received from the Netgalley.

Desiree Holt never disappoints. I enjoyed the paranormal aspects and the twists and turns the story took. Mia and Dan's relationship was positively electrifying.
This book can be read as a stand alone tho I look forward to reading the rest in the series as the secondary characters were interesting.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC provided by NetGalley.

A truly inviting and sexy paranormal romance mystery, the characters are very strong and engaging, an awesome book, it reminds me of Kay Hooper Bishop series. The storyline is excellent, intense, gripping and very enthralling. With the explosive chemistry between Mia and Dan, it is no wonder this book is so electrifying, sensual and sexy. The mystery and action scenes are well crafted with excitement all the way. I have to say this has been an exciting and enjoyable read. I love the Pheonix Agency and I look forward to reading the others in the series, this book is a must read.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

I had so much fun reading this book, and so sad when it was over! I really felt for Mia who wants so badly to help people with her visions but has problems with the interpretation so her success rate is not great. Which leads to people thinking she is a nut.

Mia sends a warning to Chase Carpenter to guard his invention as someone wants to steal it. Little does she know that the Phoenix Agency can track down her email (even when she takes precautions!) using the Dragon. So, she is really surprised when she Dan in her office, especially after having steamy vision about him!

You can see that there are two people working together and I guessed one correctly and thought the second person might be but wasn't entirely sure. When the details of the plan come out at the end, I was really surprised and wow did it affect others!

There were times that I really wanted to smack some sense into Mia - when she went to her house even knowing that she was in danger!

I love books like these that combine a good romance with action, drama, intrigue, and lots of mystery! I really have to restrain myself from skimming through too quickly as I want to get to the end of the book and find out whodunit! I also have ended up staying up way too late into the night to keep reading just "one more chapter!"

All the books in this series have been so interesting that I cannot pick on that I can say is my favorite - they all are!

Dan Romeo shows up and the museum looking for more answers to what she is trying to tell them. These skills are not new to him an dhe takes her to a member of Phoenix who can help her. While she is trying to help someone is wanting her eliminated just in case she can find out who is behind wanting to steal 'Oscar'. There are plenty of suspects. Mia and Dan feel a connection before they even meet. Bodies are showing up everywhere and time is running out.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This is my first Phoenix Agency book but it wont be my last. I felt that there were plenty of avenues to go from here for Ms. Holt and I'm intrigued to see where she takes it

I thought the characters were well thought out and the plot engaging. Dan was alpha and yet open to the paranormal which is odd in these types of books, so it was refreshing. It was nice to see an H willing to believe and protect so quickly. Mia was a slightly isolated Precog who was used to being shunned and abused for her gift. Not even her parents were supportive and so she ahs learned to hide and use other ways to warn people of her visions...when she can figure them out that is

That the Precog visions required puzzling out, added to overall plot and kept me engaged. Seeing that modern tech and social media being incorporated into the book also gave it a sense timeframe and uniqueness. Little things like this I appreciate.

I received a copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

It's a good addition to the series. It has all the magical amazingness that I like in this world, and the steamy scenes are insanely great. The chemistry was off the charts.

I like a little paranormal thrown in with my romance every once in a while. Extrasensory did a fantastic job of satisfing this.
Mia is the first to tell you that she doesn't have any idea half of the time what her visions mean. She's afraid of telling Dan about her latest visions, then is slightly shocked when he believed her. For Dan it wasn't too far fetched.
I really like series.

Fabulous! This is the second book in the Phoenix series and this is Dan"s story. Dan is the head of Phoenix and is committed to his job. He was a Marine.

Mia is a art history major who has her. Doctorate and works at a museum. She also is physic and can see things that are going to happen in the future. The only problem is that it's hard to interpret her visions. But they won't leave her alone until she solves the puzzle. She hates her gift, to her it's more of a curse.

When Mia has a new vision and after research becomes clear it involves Carpenter Techtronics she sends an anonymous email to Chase, the owner. She doesn't expect for anyone to find her least of all the man she has been having erotic visions about. So when Dan walks into her office she is shocked and scared. But she also has a very specific reaction to this man.

As Dan convinces Mia he believes her and she begins to work with him thimgs get very dangerous for Mia and Dan"s job becomes two fold first he has to make sure the new invention by Chase isn't stolen and he has to keep Mia safe.

This is a great book with action, betrayal, love and new friendships. Be sure to read the first book before this one, it will help you understand the players in Phoenix.
