Review: sweet, entertaining and hot.

When I started reading Altered Frequency I didn't realize it was book two in the Hauntings at Inner Harbor but thankfully each story appears to be self-contained and it didn't affect my enjoyment in any way. My understanding is that each tale focuses on the same apartment building and features a new couple and a ghostly spirit. Joya Fields delivered a well paced romance with a paranormal twist and I read this in a single evening.The characters in Fields' novel are fairly fleshed out and we get a sense of their history. Missy is confident, loves her job and readily accepts Betty. She is instantly attracted to Blake physically and terrified of her feelings as she gets to know him. Blake is sweet to little old ladies, and has been hurt one too many times. The man was yummy! He finds himself attracted to Missy as well and this might complicate things. Both characters are likable and I easily found myself rooting for them. Betty is everyone's idea of the perfect grandma and I adored this little busybody of a ghost.While the romance is sweet, hot and adorable there are other elements to this tale that create some suspense.  The romance itself started out as physical and slowly slipped into something more.  Fields tale flowed effortlessly and from the first page I just slipped into the story. While some of the elements were predictable other threads kept things interesting and added both elements of danger and a dark malevolent threat. I have a feeling the later is threaded through all of the books in the series and has me seeking out a copy of book one before I move forward. However if you are the love um and leave them kind of reader the ending should leave you satisfied.  My only complaint is that I would have loved a longer story and more depth.
