I truly enjoy reading this book! It involves 4 star-crossed lovers, a ghost, and disagreeable parents; an unstable combination. I think the plot is pretty solid, although the ending is a bit sentimental. There a some surprises in plot, but since i have read it so much, i know all of them. My favorite supporting character is Lord Andrew's mother. She is a "snob of the first water". YOu have to read the book to get that. If you can find a copy, i highly reccomend it, thought you have to be a bit of a romantic to fully enjoy.

Three years have past since "The Meddlesome Ghost" took place, and the Steadford Abbey is again inhabited by new owners, this time a family from the self-made middle class of England. This time, Sir Harry, the Abbey ghost for lovers, must join together the two daughters of the house with their true loves. But to do this, Harry must overcome a dearth of class conflicts. The clashing between the lower, middle, and upper classes makes this book a true Regency comedy of manners. However, small inconsistencies in plot (i.e., why one daughter sees Harry before she even meets her true love) and poor editing (at least in the paperback copy--missing quotations marks and words misspelled [doak instead of cloak?]) prevent this from being a five star book. Look to "The Passionate Ghost" to conclude this fun series.
