When a young, uptight police lieutenant comes up against a street-wise and sexually aggressive empath, sparks fly...
Lieutenant Black, an intense young man with a mysterious past and a hatred of the street drug Bliss, is the leader of the police team which frequently targets psypaths, those with psychic powers. When the beautiful and sexy empath Calyx Starr is pulled from the streets and forced onto his team as part of the police captain’s secret agenda, Black must deal not only with Starr’s relentless seductions, but also a dangerous telepath with a deadly grudge who has targeted the empath and Black's team.
Calyx Starr isn't used to being denied. Born on the streets and forced into a life of prostitution to fuel his Bliss habit, Calyx is street-wise and tough, and thinks he can use Black for his own secret plans. However the more Calyx learns about Black and his team, the more the empath begins to think Black may be more than a challenge...he may be the only man Calyx can trust with his life and his heart. Too bad Black is a man with dangerous secrets, and becoming involved with him means Calyx may wind up dead or psychically destroyed.

Fearless Leader Juxtapose City 1 edition by Tricia Owens Literature Fiction eBooks
A warning for people who don't want to read certain things. This series contains rape scenes and/or sexual manipulation (rape). Just giving you a heads up.I want to first let it be known that I really like this author. I also really liked this book! Here is why I really hate this book without giving any spoilers. This author has created a world with psypaths and in this world, the "normal" people want to essentially get rid of them. Its a world of normals against psypaths. She introduces Black (one of the main characters) and he is made out to be a good leader, fearless, and without giving too much information, a great tactician, and very powerful in his own right. Yet, the author allows this individual to be gullible, bullied, and the most manipulated person ever. Its a contradiction that becomes more apparent as the books go along. So far there are 9 of them. I'm currently reading number 8. It's so bad what Black will allow people to do to him that its CRAZY! (When I say "allow", trust me, Black has to let people do it for them to do it!) It's all in the name of keeping "loved ones safe" but its getting ridiculous. One person is manipulating him one way for one reason with a particular threat and another person is coming in another way with another and very different threat, but the latter wants him to endanger the love of his life in exchange for endangering others. Can books have a limit to how many bad guys there are because this book is reaching the limit...here is all of the people who are either bad guys and/or manipulating Black by book 8.
1. Silent city (trying to manipulate)
2. Captain Dickerson (manipulate by threatening everyone and everything. If it were up to him, he would burn the city down and everyone in it to keep Black on a puppet string and Black is letting him. The amazing part is his wife doesn't see this blantant characteristic in him and thinks he's fine. She loves Black like a mother but doesn't see anything. And just to let you know how depraved Captain Dick is, in book 8 without going into detail, he takes control of Black's mind and forces him to suck multiple men off and kill a fellow officer just to show how he can control Black. And before this happens, Black is standing around letting them do this WHEN HE IS CAPABLE TO GET OUT.
3. Lieutenant of BC1 (he is just out for himself)
4. Lieutenant Kard (the current manipulator who is threatening Black's love of his life and threatening everyone else. He is threatening to make Black go and blow up psypaths homes with them in it and I'm sure Black is going to remain the puppet to go along and do it! All in the name of protecting his loved ones!)
5. Genisus (just a bad guy but you have to try to figure out if he is wanting to kill Black or gain him as a lover. It develops in other books and yet another instance where the author isn't consistent. Sometimes he wants to destroy Black, sometimes he wants to rule the city with Black. It goes back and forth)
6. JC1 (They are in competition with JC2 and they hate JC2. It's surprising that you would see this in a police force. No, they aren't in actual competition but they aren't on the same team. They hate JC2 and Black is JC2 so they want Black to fail.)
Do you see my point? There are so many individuals who are perfectly fine to go and kill and/or blow up peoples homes and most are on the police force and expect to not get caught. It can be only one of these reasons: 1) the police force really really suck and don't actually do their jobs, 2) they are just bluffing which just makes Black once more gullible and lets people manipulate him.
Like I said, I'm currently reading book 8. These books are like a soap opera. They seem to have a lot happening, but you get to the end of the book and find that not much has happened. Bad guy still isn't caught and they have another cliff hanger that takes you into another book. In all of the eight books, there hasn't been a single bad guy caught and taken care of and the good guys are all having terrible things happen to them.
The reason I really really hate these books??? Even though they are driving me crazy and I'm really pissed off with the author and the direction the books are going, I can't seem to stop. I want to, but I'm now invested. I would tell you they are well written, but the author needs to work on plots and character development. After I finish 8 and 9 I'm going to stop following the author and I won't look for future books. (I have unlimited reading through Amazon and these books are on the list. It's the only reason I'm still reading them since I don't have to buy them. If I had to buy them, I would've stopped a LONG time ago.) I'm not the only one who feels this way. DO NOT EVER START TO READ THEM!!! I'm saving you from insane anger and frustration. It just isn't worth it.

Fearless Leader Juxtapose City 1 edition by Tricia Owens Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Ok...where to start? Pretty boys, lots of angst (which I happen to love...it seems like all the main characters are abused/nice/mean/victims/victimizers/the list goes on). I would say this author is not a bad writer by any means, but this whole series is a lesson in why writers need a good editor, and why self publishing has gotten a bit out of control. The reason i'm writing this review is not because I hate bad fiction, it's because I think the author has the potential to be an awesome writer, if only she (or he) had a good editor to help them develop some of this. The world building is good, needs a bit of work, but still good. Character development the same Themes are good, but some of the plot points need some serious brushing up. In some ways, there's just too much going on, subplots, some which seem to have been dropped (I've read most, but not all the books at this point, and despite my complaints, I do plan on finishing the series). Once again, everyone is a victim and an abuser, it's almost like the author tried really hard to show how no one and nothing is all black and white, which is good (we don't want no MarySue's here, thank you). It's not any worse than a lot of self-published fic in this genre, but it does read a lot like a fic (as in fanfiction, as opposed to an actual novel). This is why I love and hate the whole self-publishing thing. ANYONE can ebook what they write, but not all of them should. I think this author should, but I also think a good editor/cheerleader could do a lot with this. So, not a complete waste of time (especially if you've read any of the other crap out there), but I suggest you don't buy this, or at least not pay more than a buck or two for the kindle version. Sorry, that's my opinion. Too many angsty points are revisited over and over....and over....and then once more....again and again, with the same characters involved. I get the authors point, I kinda love it, but what happens in 17 scenes could have been dealt with in two or 5 even.
Sorry, it's my honest opinion. I truly hope this author finds a decent editor, because it could be great....
Some may consider this a spoiler (alert!) but I personally believe that any story with rape scenes should have a warning. Everyone seemed to have a sexual agenda in this story and didn't care if the other person was willing. In fact, the person at the highest level of command preferred that his targets were NOT willing. I don't believe a team in a conflict zone could operate with this level of chaos, physical abuse, and manipulation. Sure, people were willing to sacrifice themselves for their team, but allowing yourself to be abused in order to save someone else is still abuse. You're armed - protect yourself! I've read SciFi and m/m books for years - this one was just a long nightmare to read.
A warning for people who don't want to read certain things. This series contains rape scenes and/or sexual manipulation (rape). Just giving you a heads up.
