A woman in love. A ghost in need. A man possessed.
Evelyn Sheridan is in love with Raritan Manor Ranch’s resident ghost,
Quinn, but can only experience his embrace in her dreams.
Quinn VanAlder, who doesn’t realize he’s a ghost, loves Eve and wishes
she’d stop saying they can’t be together.
While at the ranch, Alex VanAlder arrives for a visit, and Evelyn’s hopes
rise. Perhaps she will be able to have a real relationship after all. Alex, though,
has no interest in Evelyn. Yet, every time the house cat, Myrddin, comes
around, Alex feels like a man possessed and wants Eve with a passion.
Caught between loving a ghost and putting up with a man who can’t make up
his mind, Evelyn is at a loss. Can the magic of the ranch help Evelyn to stop
being caught between two worlds?
First, just wanted to say it's crazy season at the moment in my house, so apologies for the delays with my reviews. I will catch up eventually.
Maya's Review
Totally loved this story. Loved Quinn and Evelyn at the start of this story. I was pulled right in and didn't realise it was a dream until Evelyn got woken up. So Evelyn is having these dreams about Quinn a strange man who only appears in her dreams. It used to only be at night but now the dreams are occurring at all hours including lecture times. And the dreams keep getting interrupted as they get raunchier. Darn! LOL.
Anyway, her friend Julie convinces her to take a trip with her and they end up Raritan Manor Ranch where she soon discovers that Quinn is a ghost and there's a talking cat too.The scene with the talking cat is hilarious and freaky at the came time. LOL
I have to say I was intrigued by the mystery surrounding Quinn and wondered how the obvious conflict would be resolved. The author tells a beautifully sensual story, I loved the scenes between Evelyn and Quinn and rooted for both of them. But how do you have a love affair with a ghost?
When Alex enters the story, things get mighty interesting. The characters are well rounded and engaging. The story had the right amount of sizzling as well as heart-warming scenes. And the mystery kept me turning the pages trying to figure it out. That ending made me shed a tear of joy. Loved it. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
If you enjoy a sizzling romance as well as a mystery, then this is one mystery you'd love to unravel. Go grab your copy.

Evelyn allowed him
to lay her down on the hay and didn’t protest when he lifted her top.
Enraptured by the heady sensations of his kisses on her bare skin, she lost
track of the world around her. Before she knew it, her clothes were off and
discarded. She lay naked and submitted to his apprising contemplation.
His gaze,
smoldering with sexual hunger, followed the path his hands made down her
shoulders to her breasts. Warm palms massaged her mounds, then moved on,
exploring her body, caressing her down to her toes. Waves of desire rolled
through her.
Quinn’s lips
trailed over her body, tracing the course his hands had. His kisses began with
each foot, then coursed up her skin, sweetly kissing her navel before traveling
up. When he reached her breasts again, he outlined each rosy peak with the tip
of his tongue.
Gasping in sweet
pleasure, she arched her back, inviting him to take her fully. He understood
the willing invitation and suckled on one nipple, then the other as his hands
resumed their discovery of her body and slipped between her legs. His touches
sent shivers of delight through her that ebbed and flamed with each of his
movements.
Evelyn, never
feeling such pure and explosive pleasure before, reveled in the euphoria
coursing through her. She yearned for more and shifted so he could access her
easier.
He stopped, breathing
in heavy pants. “My sweet, innocent Evelyn, I have waited so long for this, but
I shall stop if you want me to.”
“What do you mean,
stop?” her sultry voice questioned.
Quinn lay on top
of her and kissed her. His body fit hers perfectly, and his cock pushed at her
through his pants. That’s when she understood. An aching need she never felt
before brewed within her. Returning his kiss with just as much force, she put
her hands between their bodies.
“Evelyn?” Quinn
propped himself up on his elbows.
She didn’t
respond. Her desires had taken over. She worked quickly to remove his shirt,
exposing his hairless, smooth and soft chest and abdomen. He quivered when her
fingers traced his muscles. She leaned up and gave his pectoral a quick kiss.
“Evelyn, does this
mean…?”
“Yes.” She pulled
him down to her, taking his mouth with demanding command. She sensed the thrill
of his arousal once he removed his pants. Their bodies entwined, skin to skin,
woman to man. She needed more.
