This unique romance features a down-on-her-luck heroine with a broken heart, thrown together with her hero by their shared desire for a particularly charming house--and each other. It is made even sweeter by an unlikely character; the ghost of an adorable old lady who meddles in their affairs from beyond the grave, acting like a spectator and conspirator in their budding romance. The book is often hilarious, sprinkled generously with humor that had me breaking into smiles and laughs at surprising moments.This story begins with our heroine Mallory in a deep depression after being abandoned by her longtime boyfriend in the worst possible way.  You will definitely feel for her and understand this low point if you've ever gone through a bad breakup. Also, you will despise the cowardly and cruel character of Jim. I think I hated him the most after hearing about the way Mallory took him around to poorer neighborhoods to show him that they should be grateful for their privilege, but he acted like a spoiled brat.When we meet the leading man Blake, it is easy to see that he is the perfect distraction to help Mallory mend her broken heart. He is witty, charming, cute, and their chemistry is off the charts. He is everything that Jim is not! He is physical, masculine, kind, loving, and devoted. He embodies what every girl dreams of, and you will fall in love with him easily.Ultimately, this is a heartwarming story of family, history, finding real love, and coming home. It will leave you feeling satisfied, like you've just eaten your favorite comfort food on a rainy day.
