The back cover doesnt reveal that this is set in the year 1896. When I ordered it I thought it was more of a modern chick lit type book. I am not a big romance or historical romance or paranormal reader. I read the whole thing. The ghosts issues were well done. The ghost and others do have sex, so be aware this book is not a light romance, it can get graphic. The ending worked many things out, but was written in sappy epilogue.

I'm not usually a fan of historical romances, but this one was fun. Viveca is desperate and is tricked into buying a truly haunted house. The house comes complete with a menagerie of ghosts; 3 lazy, disrespectful servants; and a neighbor who will stop at nothing to get her to sell the property to him. Toss in a local matriach, an overly pious priest and a malicious reporter and the situation gets quickly out of control. Unfortunately, Viveca is out of funds and running from a ruined reputation. What's a girl to do?

I read one other Riley book and it was so much better than this one. I feel she spent too much time on the ghosts and goblins of this story and not enough with the living characters.
