BLURB:
Michael Brooks has it all mapped out. The market is ripe for him to flip a few houses to supplement his income as an untenured professor at the local college. His plan takes a detour, however, when he finds a two-story Colonial perfect for a Bed & Breakfast—with a ghost who wears denim.
Deputy Colin Jefferson is a hometown boy who made good. As a member of the local police force, he serves the community he loves. He’s heard stories about the Taylor Mansion ghost all his life. Maybe he’s even seen it a time or two, he admits to himself, if he truly believed in that sort of thing.
But now Colin has to believe when the ghost pays a visit and Michael asks for his help. Will the men be able to solve the mansion’s ghost problem even as they’re driven into each other’s arms, not out of fear, but out of intense mutual desire?
REVIEW:
The only thing wrong with this book was its length! I wanted more. I very much enjoyed the story of Michael Brooks and his decision to purchase the haunted old Taylor Mansion.
As the book begins we meet Michael as he has just found a local gay bar on the internet and headed over for a quick reconnaissance. The very second he steps in the door there is an incident with a falling down drunk. Enter Deputy Colin Jefferson. He not only rescues Michael from the drunk, but then buys him a drink. They then have a dance and just when they are getting all hot and bothered, Colin’s cell goes off and he is called in to work.
Michael proceeds to buy the mansion, and the very first day he sees the ghost. A young man dressed in 1970’s attire. Thinking there is another explanation, he calls the sheriff’s office to report a break-in. Of course, Colin is the deputy sent out on the call. After searching the house, the men reconnect and make plans to continue where they left off at their first meeting.
The story develops with Michael and Colin getting to know each other, and Michael getting to know Robin, the ghost. What happens next, who is Robin, how do they find out what happened to him? All answers you’ll get when you read the book. The epilogue though will leave you guessing, just as it did me. I’m personally hoping it means a sequel!
