He is Lord Reynald de Mortimer, a powerful warrior of the thirteenth century who defended his castle against his fiercest enemies. Now Reynald has awakened from a seven-hundred-year sleep to find that his beloved home has been turned into a modern hotel. Worse, it is host to a medieval festival! Before Reynald can begin to contemplate his fate, a stunning beauty comes to his rescue . . .

Amy Fairweather is not your typical damsel. Nor is she in distress. As a former con artist, it'll take more than a breathtaking giant in armor to convince her that he's "the" Lord Reynald . . . even if he does set Amy's nights ablaze with passion and magic. But then strange, inexplicable things start to happen at the hotel, and she has no choice but to believe that the Ghost "has" emerged from the shadows of time. And now he must seek redemption by facing his greatest threat . . . with the unquestioning love of one extraordinary woman by his side.

As the blurb on the cover says "a marvelous, magical romance", I totally agree. This is another book I bought because of the buy three get one free deal. I find it hard to buy an author or book I have no knowledge of. However every now and then I get lucky and I will defintiely be looking for more by this author.

Reynald de Mortimer is a powerful marcher Lord from the thirteenth century. He died in the flames of betrayal and envy. Now the Sorceress of Time and the Between worlds, has seen fit to give him one last chance to fulfull his destiny. Strong men who die before their time and by betrayal are transported to the between time and left asleep. The Sorceress has been interfereing by giving them second chances.

Rey is a strong leader and if he had survived would have had a lasting impact for peace on this world. Now he finds himself awakened in our time and only if he can solve the puzzle of his demise can he get a chance at life again. Known as "the Ghost" during his lifetime he has come back to a time when his castle is a hotel and during a medevil festival. He is totally out of time and place, and he is a very confused knight.

Until Amy Fairweather, a con artist, comes along. Amy is studying to be a school teacher now. She used to be a con artist along with her brother,Jez, and he has asked for her help in stealing a diamond from a very obnoxious bully, who is a prince from another land. She happens upon Rey and thinks he is a con artist too. She rescues him from the hotel manager and winds up with a roommate.

As Rey begins to remember his past he slowly convinces Amy that he is the real "Ghost" and he needs her help. They investigate the library and the legends surrounding his death. The more he remembers and learns the more he is finding the traces of the one who betrayed him. Traces of hate and betrayal in the lies that have been printed and taught for many years.

Amy begins to see that she will be betraying her own new self if she continues to aid her brother in his plans. The story intertwines the past and the present in a wonderful way. Leading these two hearts to each other. Teaching each the lesson they need to grow and survive.

I loved it. The fantasy, the magic, the romance, the dragon and the desires of two lonely people. Do not miss it. I have not read any books by this author before and although I know there are more books in this series this one is stand alone good. Who am I kidding? It's stand alone GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sara Mackenzie's Immortal warrior series, is the absolute best.
She combines Mystery, passion and magic all in one book. Let's not forget, Every woman's dream come true... A knight in shining armor, always ready to save a damsel in distress, whether she knows it or not.

This was a awesome book! I have never read Sara Mackenzie before and I was extremly happy when I read this book and found another author that could really write from the heart and with depth beyond just sex. The love scenes were definitly great but what I really liked was the way Amy came across as so human. Rey was what a woman wants yet was just as human as Amy. This is one of many of her books that I will read. I ordered all of her books an hour after I finished reading Passions of the Ghost. She also goes under the name of Sara Bennett. This book is a definite read till two in the morning kind of book.
