review 1: Danica Giles returned to her childhood home in New Orleans after she finally grew a back bone and divorced her abusive husband. The cottage was where she lived as a little girl, made friends with Gaston Deslonde, a 150 year old ghost that only she could see. As a child Gaston made her feel safe as he watched over her while she slept. Her mom died and both her father and her were so lost as memories flooded them that they moved to Florida, and she promised Gaston that one day she'd return.Now after a failed marriage, she returned to the haunted cottage and waited for her friend to appear.......Paul Gaudette wished he had listen to his mother when she told him not to marry Madison, but he didn't listen. Madison only thought about herself and craved all of his attention. ... more His mother tried to play matchmaker and for once he was glad as Danica intrigued him, but he saw she desired him and gave mixed signals then his mother talked about a ghost named Gaston that haunted her home...Ms. Weis spins a inriguing and gripping story about Danica who was torn between a man and a ghost, one she could hold and one she could trust. An old fortuneteller told her that she must choose life or death as she couldn't have both.
review 2: As a child Danica grew up in the French Quarter where she had a great friendship with a ghost, Gaston. Now 20 years later after an abusive mariage has finally ended she comes back to her old home to find some the happiness and safety she had there as a child. When Gaston shows himself to her again she realizes she has a wish for more than just a friendship with her ghost. But with their worlds divided all it can ever be is a hope. When her neighbor introduces Danical to her son, Paul, she sees the possibility for something more, but the back of he mind is still on Gaston. When halloween brings an unexpected suprise it could give her all her dreams, but at what price? And after the night is done she is left with more confusion than ever. As Paul becomes more and more a fixture in her heart and terrible losses happen, they can either be pulled closer together torn apart forever. Only help from an unexpected source can help sort everything out, but will a melovelent spirit be too strong for Danica to overcome?I loved the history of New Orleans throughout the story and the lessons that you can learn from the characters, even if you don't believe in ghosts. I enjoyed Gaston's teasing and also how much he grew until he was finally able to find the right path for himself. This is not your typical cheesy romance novel, and while there as romance in it the paranormal aspect made it so much more. less
