4 very solid stars. 
 I know I'm not the only devoted Kristen Ashley reader who, after devouring the Rock Chicks, Colorado Mountains, The 'Burg & the independant novels she has written (some more than once or even twice), but still kept our distance from starting this series. I confess to being a little "Eh" about the thought of delving into haunted castles and the like. I guess I was afraid that the things I loved most about KA's books would be missing. But I was wrong. 
 Cash Frasier is lush. He is a 6'4" powerfully alpha man of mystery who is SCOTTISH & all kinds of amazing. This is the kind of KA man we all love, only a bit wealthier and more polished. But that just adds to his magnatism. 
 Abby Butler is a great spirited heroine who is just the right side of a bit crazy, just the kind of woman we've all come to love from KA. And blessidly, less stubborne than some the frustrate us for most of a book. 
 The ensemble is nuts in the very best way. Nobody does amazing supporting characters quite like KA & these were no exception. Hilarious and fun but also just so apt for the story. 
 I don't read a lot of books in the paranormal genre. Mostly because ghosts and hauntings truly freak me out. But this one, while a bit crazy in it's conclusion didn't frighten me at all. 80% of the book has zero to do with ghosts or castles - most of the book is about these characters and their relationship. It's about the love story. The plot is secondary and I mean that in the best way. The thing I love most is how KA writes these romances and lead characters - and like all of her stories I've read before - this one does not disappoint.
