Book Description

Series: New Crescent | Publication Date: November 1, 2008

All her life, Reggie Stanton has felt connected to Bennett House. Her childhood dreams come true when she's asked to restore the old place. Unfortunately, old friend and combatant Chase McCann has been hired to do the landscaping. They share a tension filled past he won't talk about, and things are definitely heating up between them. Seeing him, all hot and dirty day after day, wears down Reggie's resistance. The situation is made worse when unexplained and often dangerous things start to happen around the house. What is the soul sucking evil lurking in the library and what do the children have to do with it? She enlists the help of the meddlesome, matchmaking ghost haunting the garden. Reggie's willing to risk everything to solve the mystery surrounding Bennett House, but sex with Chase would really complicate matters. Especially since Reggie's been secretly in love with him for years. "I fell in love with Reggie Stanton in Trouble and had to give her a story of her own. What better time than at Halloween? New Crescent is the perfect setting for lurking evil and meddlesome ghosts. On one else but Reggie would have the strength of character to solve the mystery surrounding Bennett House and win Chase's heart." ~Mary~

Reggie Stanton has been given the job of a lifetime. She's been asked to restore Bennett House, a place she's felt connected to since childhood. Her one problem is the man who broke her heart, Chase McCann, has been hired to do the landscaping. Between trying to resist the heat their proximity generates and dealing with the ghosts haunting the place, Reggie has her hands full.

Have you ever read a book and been torn between wanting to find out how the story is going to be resolved and considering putting the book down because you don't want it to end? That's what happened to me with SPIRIT. I so wanted to know how Reggie and Chase defeated the ghost and how their love story would come out, but I didn't want the story to end. I love the characters and I love the town, Ms. George created. SPIRIT pulled me in from the first page and kept me engaged until the very end when I wiped my eyes. That's when I made up my mind to buy the first book in this series as well as the next one when it comes out. SPIRIT is one of those rare books that interweaves a gripping suspense plot, this one paranormal in nature, with an intricate love story. I did have a suspicion about one delightful aspect of the story, but it didn't negate my enjoyment of SPIRIT one little bit. Ms. George gives hints, so I suspect she wanted readers to at least have an inkling. However, the gift Reggie is given at the end of the story was totally unexpected and made the story perfect for me.
