Ghosts harass and annoy Tess to save their souls. Sometimes she helps them. Other times she ignores them. But one ghost will give her no choice.
Kipp, a former cop with the Memphis Police Department, will stop at nothing to gain her help, including using his ghostly charms to seduce her.
Tess must help solve the five-year-old cold case of Hannah Reid's disappearance, because solving the case will save Kipp. But a bigger problem presents itself. Tess is falling in love with a ghost. Now she must decide. Keep Kipp forever, or find the killer.
Blush sensuality level: This is a sensual romance (may have explicit love scenes, but not erotic in frequency or type).
My thoughts:
I am a Stacey Kennedy fan so I was excited to read this story. I found the idea of falling in love with a ghost unique.
Stacey Kennedy is a storyteller. She creates characters that are easily invested in, sets them in a world that is believable and carefully put together. She has the ability to pace the story is such a way that it just unfolds before you from the pages you don't realize you are turning. I enjoy her writing style.
With that said, this book did not disappoint. I fell for the characters right away. Kipp is a fantastically created character - although he is a ghost - he has a clever and playful personality. Tess is a wonderfully put together character. Actually, all the characters have been painstakingly personalized in their creation. I felt like I knew each one.
The story is unique in the ghost/human love portion, but also a well-rounded murder mystery. Fast paced, edge of the seat drama, mystery, and a shell shocking ending.
Wonderfully written, steamy love story - don't start it unless you can finish not only this one, but the next one - Demonically Tempted. (Book three comes in the fall of 2012).
