The Ghost and the Graveyard – Genevieve Jack

My Brief Synopsis:
Grateful Knight is betting it all on a fresh start – one she doesn’t really have a choice about. Left utterly destitute by her most recent failed relationship, she’s left with the choice of declaring bankruptcy or taking free rent in a house in the middle of nowhere that her realtor father cannot seem to sell, she chooses the latter. She always does the most responsible thing she can.

And that’s about to bite her in the ass.

Pulling into a town of 200, now 201, Grateful nearly crashes her Jeep at the sight of the local graveyard’s caretaker as a crazy daydream takes over out of nowhere. Determined to avoid men until she’s back on her feet, Grateful tries to keep her distance from the super hot (cover model level) Rick, but the very first night he shows up at her door with a stinking bouquet, she can’t seem to keep her hands, or lips, off of him.

The house has secrets, and those secrets want Graceful to learn them. When an angry ghost comes flying at her screaming for her to get out, Grateful flees to the only other person she knows, Rick, but what she sees there is too much for her brain to handle and she passes out cold.

Forced to believe in the unbelievable, face a relationship with a man she doesn’t know but who has known her for lifetimes, and possibly accept a title she isn’t sure she wants, Grateful’s strength, sense of self, and responsible nature will all be put to the test.

As she tries to grasp everything around her, will the secrets and truths be too much for her to handle? Can she accept all of it, or will she turn her back and leave Red Grove, NH all together?

My Brief Synopsis:
Set in The Big Easy, Love & Ghosts draws you in from the start with the wonderfully blunt Trish questioning her best friend, lead female Emily, about  a possible one night stand as they’re heading into a masquerade ball. The conversation that followed set up an interesting and painful backstory that plays a major role throughout the rest of the book.  Trish proves herself once again by forcing Emily to open up to life a little with a fun and steamy dare.

Enter Sean.  As the Dread Pirate Roberts no less (because who doesn’t want him?).  He’s rich, he loves his Momma, and he’s hot as hell.  Oh, and he can see and communicate with ghosts; owning and operating the most popular haunted tour company in New Orleans.

When Emily is the only person to realize Sean isn’t Zorro, they start dancing in more ways than one.  Sparks become fireworks, but she refuses to tie herself to the first man she meets in her new home city.  However, she and Sean keep running into each other and eventually one thing leads to another until their opposing opinions on the paranormal threaten to tear them apart.

Can Sean and Emily come to an understanding before her disbelief is their downfall?
