A woman in love. A ghost in need. A man possessed.
Evelyn Sheridan is in love with Raritan Manor Ranch’s resident ghost,
Quinn, but can only experience his embrace in her dreams.
Quinn VanAlder, who doesn’t realize he’s a ghost, loves Eve and wishes
she’d stop saying they can’t be together.
While at the ranch, Alex VanAlder arrives for a visit, and Evelyn’s hopes
rise. Perhaps she will be able to have a real relationship after all. Alex, though,
has no interest in Evelyn. Yet, every time the house cat, Myrddin, comes
around, Alex feels like a man possessed and wants Eve with a passion.
Caught between loving a ghost and putting up with a man who can’t make up
his mind, Evelyn is at a loss. Can the magic of the ranch help Evelyn to stop
being caught between two worlds?
Evelyn has been dreaming of the perfect man for as long as
she can remember. He’s kind, sweet and
has ruined her for all men in real life.
To her, Quinn is a figment of her imagination, and she feels she has set
herself up for disappointment in her search for love. As she gets older, she realizes that she
needs to try and move on, and a change in scenery seems just what she
needs. So, she accepts an invitation
from a friend to her family’s ranch.
While there, she sees a painting that eerily reminds her of her Quinn of
a long dead VanAlder relative. Alex
VanAlder could pass as Quinn’s twin, and she thinks perhaps her dreams have
been leading her to him. Alex does not
share the feelings. The only time he
seems to be attracted to Evelyn is when the cat is around…are Alex and Evelyn
meant to be, or is there a strange power at work at the ranch?
This is a very short but intriguing book. It has some interesting twists and I liked
the idea of kind of a congruent timeline where Quinn thinks Evelyn’s dreams are
really reality. My only complaint is
that I feel the ending was too easily reached.
It’s a complicated situation, and I had a hard time believing Alex’s
actions at the end of the book. Other
than that, I did think it was an interesting concept. I’m not a big believer in the supernatural or
fate, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying the book. 3.5 stars.

Evelyn allowed him
to lay her down on the hay and didn’t protest when he lifted her top.
Enraptured by the heady sensations of his kisses on her bare skin, she lost
track of the world around her. Before she knew it, her clothes were off and
discarded. She lay naked and submitted to his apprising contemplation.
His gaze,
smoldering with sexual hunger, followed the path his hands made down her
shoulders to her breasts. Warm palms massaged her mounds, then moved on,
exploring her body, caressing her down to her toes. Waves of desire rolled
through her.
Quinn’s lips
trailed over her body, tracing the course his hands had. His kisses began with
each foot, then coursed up her skin, sweetly kissing her navel before traveling
up. When he reached her breasts again, he outlined each rosy peak with the tip
of his tongue.
Gasping in sweet
pleasure, she arched her back, inviting him to take her fully. He understood
the willing invitation and suckled on one nipple, then the other as his hands
resumed their discovery of her body and slipped between her legs. His touches
sent shivers of delight through her that ebbed and flamed with each of his
movements.
Evelyn, never
feeling such pure and explosive pleasure before, reveled in the euphoria
coursing through her. She yearned for more and shifted so he could access her
easier.
He stopped, breathing
in heavy pants. “My sweet, innocent Evelyn, I have waited so long for this, but
I shall stop if you want me to.”
“What do you mean,
stop?” her sultry voice questioned.
Quinn lay on top
of her and kissed her. His body fit hers perfectly, and his cock pushed at her
through his pants. That’s when she understood. An aching need she never felt
before brewed within her. Returning his kiss with just as much force, she put
her hands between their bodies.
“Evelyn?” Quinn
propped himself up on his elbows.
She didn’t
respond. Her desires had taken over. She worked quickly to remove his shirt,
exposing his hairless, smooth and soft chest and abdomen. He quivered when her
fingers traced his muscles. She leaned up and gave his pectoral a quick kiss.
“Evelyn, does this
mean…?”
“Yes.” She pulled
him down to her, taking his mouth with demanding command. She sensed the thrill
of his arousal once he removed his pants. Their bodies entwined, skin to skin,
woman to man. She needed more.
