Helpful Score: 4
I was wowed by this book, and until a few days ago I had never heard of Jenn Benett. The 1920's are not my usual era, I read mostly British historicals set in the 1800's. Also, it's a paranormal which I rarely like. But someone recommended it at the SBTB blog, so I gave it a try, and I'm so glad I did! I loved the big hunky hero, and the smart and nervy heroine. The paranormal stuff was mostly in the form of ghostly spirits and Chinese black magic. The author does a great job of invoking the flavor of San Francisco during the Roaring Twenties, and I especially loved the descriptions of the snappy jazz age fashions that the characters were wearing. Seriously, it made me want to go out and buy a fox fur coat!
But besides all that, the H & h were a smokin' hot couple. Jenn Bennett can get more mileage out of a kiss in the back of a taxi than some authors do with a whole night in the bedroom. I really felt the sexual tension going on, and couldn't wait till they finally got together. The conflicts between H&h were well done and made sense, the relationship developed at a believable pace, and their banter was sharp and sweet at the same time.
So, to sum up, great dialog, great characters, a fun read that I had trouble putting down.
