Looked forward to reading this one because ever since I was younger loved a good ghost story and then discovered they could also contain romance to them also. This one is no exception can not miss it I suppose due to the title or it could mean something else entirely but to my good fortune it is filled with ghosts and romance. Justin thinks he is going to get his hands on one of the most haunted places in town due to a verbal agreement that will in turn fulfill wishes of his grandfather and his siblings are also trying to help with the endeavor of restoring the town Penny Hollow as a place to be remembered for ghosts and the like. But verbal agreements should also be seen to that they are written down on paper because things can change in a instance. MacKenzie happens to be that instance because she is left the one place he has had within reach but she is not letting go. When her great aunt leaves it to her she is determined to make a fresh start and begin to write again. When the two of them meet she is moving in and he starts helping as the neighborly thing to do,but I think he also likes what he sees and she does to even though she doesn't ask for the help that is given. Great relationships have been started on less but there you have it. Funny things have happened to both of them small instances that they were she knows not how to ask for help much less to take it due to getting burned in a marriage gone south literally. Trusting is not her middle name but a small town such as this has lots of quirks and remember ghosts and the stories that keeps them alive. Having been swept away into this delicious warm filled bump in the night story with this two people and the colorful supporting characters in this town I learn exactly how real the ghosts are and they too can talk through the magic of words and sounds. Good thing such stories do not make me scared to read them at night even if romance is involved with this to keep the spooky imagination while reading at bay. That is how well written the ghost part is intertwined with romance you see not only ghosts become braver and love become hotter because these two do get past the initial obstacles such as the house and his intentions and the relationship grows like wildfire. Of course the ugly snake head of a ex has to rear his ugly head in to cause his obstacles because what good suspense romance has smooth sailing? Danger lurks from ex, ghosts afoot, writing a book by MacKenzie that has taken a life of its own all with the restoration Justin puts into the place, that the discovery of a gazebo and a deadly secret is more than he must of imagined would be unearthed. With all that going on and more this is one novel that is hard to put down once you pick it up. It also is one not forgotten for a while either and with my experience a good story with ghosts are like that anyways. Received a arc for a honest review.
