Book Blurb

When Ashley Hunter inherits the Inn where her father mysteriously vanished years ago, she jumps at the chance to finally uncover the truth about his disappearance. But soon after taking ownership of the decrepit building, Ashley realizes she’s in for far more than she bargained. Not only has she inherited answers to many sought-after questions, she’s also inherited spirits, demons and even fallen angels! Then Cristian arrives, a gorgeous man who insists he merely needs a room to rent. She believes him, until one by one her ghosts start disappearing...

As a fallen angel destined for a life of servitude, Cristian Lucius is relegated to protecting earth from unwanted spirits. But he can’t accomplish this daunting task alone. He requires assistance from the very woman who frustrates him as much as she intrigues him. Cristian is determined to ignore his intense attraction for Ashley, and focus on his mission. If they don’t work together, they won’t have a chance in hell of defeating the demon threatening their lives. The problem is getting Ashley to trust him. No easy task, considering Cristian is the very man responsible for her father’s disappearance.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala

Ashley inherited a pub in England from her aunt.  She is special in the fact that she can see and talk to ghosts.  Of course, her whole life up until then has been her trying to suppress her gift.  Now she has a pub full pf them and something dark behind a door in the basement.  Then this arrogant man shows up trying to get her out of her house.  She refuses of course, and the fight seems to be on.

Cristian is a warrior that has been sending ghosts to the other side for centuries.  He knows of the evil that lives in Ashley’s basement.  He knows what her gifts are and what she really is.  She is a seer, his seer.  He is a fine male specimen but extremely bossy.  Ashley must fight her instant attraction and learn what everyone is keeping from her.

I hate the fact she refuses to accept her gifts and who she is.  It irritates me how she ignores it, hoping it will go away.  She needed to grow a backbone and step up.  She does in the end finally, but I didn’t like her most of the book.  Camille was my favorite female.  She was willing to help no matter what.

I liked the storyline where the ghosts are seen and heard.  I also like the demon in the basement.  There is a lot of secrets in this story that eventually come out.  Most are kept because of Ashley’s attitude.  She gets mad that no one will tell her about her father.  Her reaction when she learns explains why they didn’t want to tell her in the first place.

The ending is just a temporary fix.  So you know the story will continue and it will be interesting to see where the author takes it.  I give this book a 4 out of 5.
