ACRO stands for Agency for Covert Rare Operatives. This was very X-Men like (w/ the various abilities; being able to control the weather, electricity, seeing ghosts, having a second sight, etc). Remy has the power to control weather (and that is storms). Haley is the ACRO rep sent to watch him and get close to him. As a para-meteorologist she is to determine if his power is real and possibly recruiting him. Haley is also notable in that she is normal.
So of course when they first meet and fall instantly in lust. At the cost of some world building, there were a lot (and I mean a lot) of sexy times in this one. There was also a secondary romance between Annika and Creed. Some of the sex scenes I felt were just put in there for shock value (the example that sticks out is Dev's (the boss) personal assistant (Marlena) giving him a blow job).
This just didn't work for me.
