review 1: Julie Leto manages to offer up all the features we know and love about romance novels (crazy plot twists, steamy scenes, etc.) without totally ignoring the female reader's capacity to think or reason. In other words, she writes with a not-insignificant amount of intelligence about strong, capable women in a way that's still fun and readable. If it weren't for a bunch of typos (and omitted words) in the Kindle edition, a bit of repetitiveness, and the lack of one outstandingly appealing character (I liked them all, I just didn't adore one so much that I can't wait to pick up the next installment), I would have loved it.
review 2: Don't let short and very vague blurb fool you. This is a great book. When hotel hieress inherits a supposedly haunted castle her eye... mores see big dollar signs. A new hotel, with potentially a ghostly twist. She would never expect the rumors to be true. When she inadvertently releases a phantom from a gypsy enclave that disappeared 200 plus years ago, she's not quite sure what to think....other than "damn, he's hot." But Alexa's surprises aren't over yet. Damon isn't quite free yet, and together they must find a way to break the curse. Throw in a jealous step-brother and fueding secret society and you have all sorts of excitement.Alexa and Damon's romance was quick and to the point, they both had things to figure out but they never really let it get int he way of their feelings for each other. Lots of little twists and turns, with some comic relief curtesy of Dante the kitty, I had a hard time putting the book down to sleep at night. less
