review 1: I really enjoyed this story. I've read it twice now and it's one of those stories that you remember for a long while afterwards. I had wanted to read it again but couldn't remember what it was called and finally stumbled upon it again. Glad I did.There were some girly moments where you think to yourself that, yup, this was written by a woman but not as noticeable as other books I've read.
review 2: At first, seducing Drew was nothing but a nice sport for Ron. But as he gets to know Drew better, he soon perceives the depths of pain and despair within the other man. Before he knows what happens. Ron is playing for keeps. And so is Drew, but he’s got a formidable opponent: himself.Both characters are likeable and well-drawn, although I had some minor issues ... morewith Drew. He has suffered a terrible trauma, but after so many years and given the way he feels about Ron, he acts a bit erratic and over the top aggressive at times. Yet, this wasn’t so far-fetched that I couldn’t indulge him. Ron, though – he was wonderful, open and unashamed about what he was and what he wanted. His patience with Drew bordered on that of a saint – in his stead, I’d have given up on Drew much earlier. Then again, Ron got the lowdown on Drew’s ghost – quite literally. I found myself really caring for those two, rooting for them and cheering them on to their well-deserved, completely satisfying HEA.Speaking of which, those ghostbusters were fabulous (although from how they were pictured, I found myself constantly looking for Scooby Doo). By bringing them in, the author took every trace of horror from the plot, turning it effectively into the plain paranormal mystery it was laid out to be.Due to all the angsty emotional turmoil Drew and Ron have to overcome there wasn’t really a lot of sex in this book; what little there is, was filled with purpose and emotions and described in graphic detail. There were quite many kisses, though, and those were hot enough to scorce the pages.I also loved the coastal setting of the story and the way the author used Ron’s professional eye to transport me, as a reader to this place where I have never been in my life, picturing it so vividly I could practically smell the sea. Very well done.All in all, a very well crafted romance with an almost believable paranormal element and a completely satisfying solution. Highly recommended.Read the full review at reviewsbyjessewave.com less
