The Telepath's Associate (Charmed Away Temp Agency #5)

Here's Amy Padilla's "The Telepath's Associate" is the fifth novel in her latest series, Charmed Away Temp Agency. 

["Alistair wasn’t the kind of man to let the bad keep him down. His ex-wife may have left and taken his kids, but when his little brother offered him a lifeline, he took it and pulled himself back up. He joined a temp company, started working again, and did what he could to heal after a military mission gone wrong. He doesn’t expect to face his issues so soon, but when Isaac asks him to help a friend, the least he can do is give the man a ride. Right?

Elijah just wants to help others. It’s all he’s ever wanted. But with powers like his, powers that unnerve people, he’s learned the best way he can help is by keeping his distance. But when a plumbing disaster leaves him homeless, he finds himself crashing with one of the few people he considers a friend, along with said friend’s grumpy older brother with arms like a fantasy and eyes full of shadows. And when the brother decides he needs protection? He can totally resist a man like that. Right?"]

And the bonus tags (because they're arguable better than the blurb itself): ["Not all telepaths are bad, Elijah just wants to help, Alistair has hit rock bottom, it’s all up from here– right?, Alistair gets protective, some things aren't as they seem, give Elijah alcohol and hilarity ensues, accidental bonding, Alistair is okay with it, Guaranteed HEA."]

I cannot believe I ever disliked Elijah. Granted, it was only for a few chapters and that was books and books ago. But this man, this poor man, deserves all of the cuddles and cocoa. All of it.

So does Alistair. 

They've both been through sooo much, and together, they were able to heal. It was beautiful to experience. They helped each other overcome previous traumas and help each other regrow their confidence. Plus all of the found family?! D: This book was glorious.

As was all of the wine. ;)

Trigger Warnings: trauma, PTSD, POW, flashbacks, disability, violence, guilt, discrimination, and more.
