This one had a solid 4 stars going for it...that is until the H/Ghost-Asher chokes the crap out of the h/Nat (Natlie) in a anger move to push her away (for her sake, of course) about 3/4 of the way through the story. Yeppers, Ghost has some issues. A past featuring an abusive monster disguised as a father and a submissive unprotective mother.  Ghost/Asher is in serious need of therapy. Lots of emotion and drama here along with loads of hot sex. This was a cute story about 2 people destined for each other but I just couldn't get past that choking scene. Especially when Nat gets punched by an abusive date/Cole early in the story. Ghost comes to Nat's rescue then later knocks Cole around with a threat to stay away from Nat. There's a big deal made of this and what an abusive arse Cole is. So, how in the hell can this be different?!? Sorry, I'm a no go with that abusive crap. And in this story abuse was the underlying background theme. What, is it okay for some and not others?!? What kind of b.s. rationalization is that?!? Sorry, I could go off on a serious rant about this, but I'll spare you anymore.How does all this get resolved? Ghost grovels big and Nat gets angry but all is forgiven a little too easily for me and the end is a bit over the top wonderful. There's also some talk of them both going to therapy since Nat has some female issues she's dealing with. The likeable cast and crew from bk 1 follows into this story which was a plus. Too bad for me it veered off into a topic I can't deal with because this bk had so much going for it. Oh well, hopefully Max's story up next will be one worth reading.
