review 1: Harus baca novel pertama di series ini biar bisa ngerti jalan ceritanya. Saya sih bersyukurnya novel pertama punya plot yang unforgattable, sehingga saya ga perlu baca ulang karena masih ingat gimana cerita di balik kematian suami si Heroine di buku ini. Alkisah, di buku pertama, Heroinenya--Catherine, punya sahabat dekat yang nyawanya terancam bahaya karena suaminya suka melakukan KDRT. Hingga suatu saat sahabat si Catherine itu, Winnie, hampir meninggal karena dianiaya suaminya. Akhirnya, Catherine, suaminya, dan teman-teman dari suami Catherine yang dulunya geng anak jalanan berencana untuk membebaskan Winnie dari suaminya itu. Yang diketahui Winnie cuma : suaminya tewas dalam kebakaran. Padahal aslinya engga begitu. Sewaktu Winnie sekarat habis dianiaya suaminya, dia d... moreirawat William Grave--seorang dokter yang semasa kecil adalah tukang gali kuburan, merampok harta di makam, & mencari uang dengan menjual mayat ke sekolah kedokteran. Singkat cerita, Winnie dan William saling jatuh cinta. Tapi sayangnya William ragu-ragu untuk mendekati Winnie karena selain dia punya masa lalu yang kelam, William juga terlibat dalam 'kematian' suami Winnie. Hingga suatu saat, mendadak Winnie merasa dihantui oleh arwah suaminya. Mulai dari sering mencium bau tubuh suaminya,barang-barang yang suka berpindah tempat dengan sendirinya, sampai Winnie mengalami mimpi buruk tentang suaminya itu. William & teman-temannya yang terlibat dalam 'kematian' suami Winnie tentunya tahu betul apa yang sedang terjadi. Tapi mereka berusaha melindungi Winnie, terutama William yang akhirnya bisa mengungkapkan perasaannya dengan terang-terangan ke Winnie. Yah, apa yang terjadi sebenarnya...? Hohoho... Overall, karena ini novella, rasanya kurang greget & kurang panjang. Untuk soal plot & karakterisasi sudah sangat bagus. Chemistry William dan Winnie juga lumayan kuat.
review 2: Oh how I love William Graves. Who knew the doctor was so damn hot! Besides Fanny’s story, William’s story also tugged at the heart strings. His abusive mother, his father’s abandonment, his life dedicated to his patients, no one to love him. Boy I’m going to shed a tear right now. I love the man the author created William to be, kind, soft, lovable, sexy, healing etc…he’s a very good hero indeed. I loved the connection and longing between William and Winnie. I loved that it was a novella and not drawn out because it would have taken away from their bond I think. I love a good suspense, even though we all knew the husband was not really dead…(sorry for the spoiler) but it was obvious. . I also enjoyed semi-catching up with the other scoundrels. This is a keeper. I can’t wait to read about everyone’s kids when their grown.The only thing I was truly upset about was there was no closure regarding William’s father. I really, really wanted to know if he truly abandoned him or was he in jail or dead. I was hoping he was going to ask during the séance, but instead he asked about his mother…of all people. Great ending to the series. less

I wanted to like this more than I did. Some good moments but a fair amount of skimming on my part.
