Wow!!  What more can I say, that one word pretty much sums up my feelings on this read.  I loved it, absolutely loved it.  I thought this was a beautiful story and well written.  I won this e-copy on a blog and was a little nervous, being my first e-book I've read.  I really love having a book in my hands, so I am hoping this will go to print so I can place in on my bookshelf with all my favorite reads.  I was pulled into the story right off the first few lines.  Christian was intensly hot.  I loved the stuggle within himself as he was fighting his attraction to Ashley.  From the second she walked into the pub, he was intensly aware of her.  There was so much going on in this book.  The odd towns people, the rumbling in Ashley's pub, the ghosts, the evil surrounding the town and the odd door in the basement.  Ashley has always been different and never feeling like she belongs.  When she inherits the pub from her aunt, she jumps at the chance to start over and hopefully find answers about her missing father.  What she didn't expect, the ghosts she bonded with and a man she has an intense attraction to.  She knows something is off about Christian and is struggling to put the pieces together.  She is fighting this attraction and at the same time she wants to wring his neck.  These two characters have everything I love in a romance.  They want eachother, but at the same time they are both fighting their feelings as they are slinging insults and getting hot and heavy against the wall.  They have a hot and cold relationship where I am anxious and needy to have them give into it.  It's a sign of a great read for me, when I can't stop reading and am so invested in these characters that they have me on the edge of the seat guessing where they are going to go and what they are going to do next.  I was in equal parts frustrated with both Christian and Ashley at different parts of the story.  I wanted to knock their heads together so they could see what was right in front of them.  Devon was like a third wheel.  He was there in the sidelines.  I liked him and liked his character, but felt like he kept getting in the way.  The town and other characters...Devon, Camile, Rose, the ghosts and even the Demon in the basement really rounded the story out.  I was a little sad to see Devon's demise, though I didn't want him with Ashley, I had a lot of love for him  and his sexy arse :)  Overall, amazing read.  Loved it and I loved how I was sucked into the story feeling just as sexually frustrated as these characters
