The Soul Within
Alex’s body is in a coma. His soul, however, is not. Desperate to become whole, he must first convince stubborn beauty Evening Sinclair that he is not dead.
For generations, the Sinclairs have been healers. Using a gentle touch to heal the body and a soothing word to heal the soul, Evening Sinclair is no different. Yet despite her secret abilities, Eve has a somewhat normal existence. She enjoys her small physiotherapy practice, dotes on her eight-year-old daughter and occasionally helps souls get back into their bodies—that is until Alex, with his brooding good looks and glowing eyes, appears in her kitchen.
Alex is desperate to get back into his body—two innocent lives depend on it. His only obstacle is Eve and her stubborn fear. Unfortunately for Eve, Alex is ruthless and just as stubborn. He will do whatever it takes to get what he wants. He will not 'go away' and no matter how much Eve tortures him with her lush body and perfect mouth, he will not change his mind. Eve will merge him, and if it takes him haunting her day and night, she will merge him back with a body-any body

This story was a little treasure to read, and Nancy Adams is an author to watch. The way she draws you into her characters lives, like you're right there with them is thrilling...
The Soul Within was a wonderfully romantic read, with just the right amount of action, suspense, and soul magic thrown in.
Alex Hunter is a government assassin who has just been betrayed by his partner. Shot in the back, and left to die while trying to save the life of a innocent pregnant women who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He doesn't die. Alex's body is in a coma, while his soul is left to roam free.
Eve Sinclair is a woman with the ability to merge a soul back into a persons body after a major life threatening trauma. She was born with this ability, it's handed down by the women in her family. Due to a previous scary experience with an evil soul, Eve has sworn off helping anymore lost souls. She spends her life ignoring them, and pretending they don't exist.
Alex is told that Eve can help him, and he sets out to find her. At first she tries to ignore him, and send him away, but Alex won't take no for an answer. He can't... Innocent lives are on the line, and his treacherous partner is closing in.
I really enjoyed this story, it took off a little slow, but once the pace picked up it was hard to put down. The hero and heroine are both extremely likeable, determined, loyal, and had great chemistry in and out of the bedroom. The plot was nicely paced, the action and suspense kept me turning the pages, desperate to see what happens next.
The sexy scenes were well written, sizzling hot, and fit in right with the pace of the story. The paranormal aspects were thought out, explained, and completely believable. The secondary characters were also fun to read, some were endearing, and they left their mark on the story and kept it fresh.
I will be adding Nancy Adams to my list, and keeping my eye out for her new releases.
4.5 STARS

This is an amazing romantic story with lots of action and soul manipulation magic mixed in. Alex saves a pregnant woman who accidentally witnessed a crime. However, he is betrayed and shot by his partner, who wants no witness to his crime. Alex is physically in a coma, but his soul is free to roam and find Eve, who can put his soul back into his body in order to save the witness from being murdered by his ex-partner.
Alex needs a body to affect the physical world and convinces Eve to put his soul into Cade's body, whose soul has departed. Eve has her own baggage to deal. She is extremely afraid of ghosts, whose physical bodies already died but can't move on, and pretends they don't exist. She doesn't want her daughter to inherit her gift of seeing souls and avoids her own mother, who is highly adept at using the gift. Alex helps her overcome her fears and accept the things she is afraid of in the world.
It bothers me that Alex was in Cade's body and he has sex with Eve but only realizes that it's not his own body afterwards and things get awkward. Shouldn't he be freaked out before they have sex?
I definitely like the plot better than the character romance. The suspense and action builds up as Alex's ex-partner gets closer to to killing the eye witness. The supernatural elements in the story are well explained and incorporated into the plot so it's not jarring. Overall, this is a great read with romance, the supernatural, and crime scenes thrown in.

I really really enjoyed this book.
It had an interesting sounding plot and the author really did it justice. I was not disappointed in any way with how it was written. It flowed nicely, I didn't feel like trying to hurry the characters up (not that I could have, but anyone who has read a slow moving book knows what I mean). The dirty bits were well written, they didn't take away from the plot in any way, nor do I feel there was too much of the dirty bits. That was definitely not the main focus of the book but an enhancement.
I will definitely be looking for other works by this same author. :)

The book's subject remind me Marc Levy's book named If Only It Were True. But that's it.other things about the book is very different. I love the story so much.It was so lovely.
Note: Sorry I wish I can write more longer but I'm so sick since last week I read the book but right now I really can't write other than this.

This is a fantastic story with a great combination of paranormal, suspense and romance. The story pulls you in from the very beginning and keeps you on your toes with lots of great twists. This is a book I'll be reading again. I highly recommend it.
