I'm not going to lie...when I first read the description of this book, I was a little hesitant about whether or not I was going to like it.  But, once I started, I couldn't stop!  I literally stayed up until 4:30 AM to finish it!I know, I know...you're thinking, "SEVEN MEN?!"  But seriously, it's not whacked out or anything.  Once you come to understand why these men are all bound together, and devoted to Linden, it really is actually endearing, not creepy.  I promise. :)When we first meet Linden, she may be scantily clad, but it's all in the name of raising funds for the orchestra hall.  While securing a donation from the man she is dressed to please, a dead man from her past walks through the entrance into the lounge.  He is also a potential donor, and despite the fact that Linden is positive she knows exactly who this man is, he introduces himself with a different name, and a slightly different accent.  He also seems to know that she was married, which she hasn't told anyone.  But he leaves politely enough.  That is, until she heads to the ladies room to settle her nerves...Cyril is angry.  VERY angry.  He can't believe what Linden has done, and on top of that, he can't remember it, so he hasn't a clue how she did it.  What is it she did, you ask?  Well, you'll have to read to find out.  But let's just say, in Cyril's world, what Linden did is a HUGE deal.  But, when he accosts her in the ladies room, he doesn't expect the few answers he gets out of Linden.  And of course, the sexual nature of this restroom meeting serves to confuse them both.One of the things I love about this book is their shared passion for music.  Both Cyril and Linden play/played piano, and Cyril taught Linden an even better appreciation for classical music when she was younger.  Linden's appreciation for music is shown in her job, and even after being 'dead' for ten years, Cyril is still a phenomenal pianist, using the music to draw Linden in one night.This book will keep you on your toes, and guessing until the very end...and past the end, making you NEED to know what happens next!  I was very, very sad leading up to the very end of the novel, but when I got to the last page or two, I was cracking up!  I promise, this book will not disappoint!The characters in this book, and their relationships with one another, are so different from anything else I've read.  They are not only interesting, but they make the reader care about them, and what happens to them.  They care about each other for unexpected, and what seem like forced, reasons, and yet their relationships still feel so honest and real.So, go forth and buy this book!  This is a satisfying read for romance readers, but especially for paranormal readers!  You won't be sorry!
