Publisher's summary

Nothing will keep Louisa from her great-aunt's fortune. Except perhaps a phantom who turns out to be a most eligible bachelor.

Although Louisa Banner insists she is not the least bit superstitious, she cannot help her misgivings when her family announces she must spend October with her great aunt in a rundown Welsh castle riddled with tales of ghosts. The family hopes Louisa will endear herself to her aunt enough to win a grand inheritance. Louisa’s only wish is to avoid a run-in with any of the phantoms spoken of by the local villagers. When Louisa stumbles upon a forgotten graveyard, and a man whose name comes directly from a tombstone, she isn’t certain whether to run away in terror or stay and get to know the handsome spirit.

Erasmus Grey is cursed, and not only because he sometimes hears the voices of his dead grandparents. While most men would count it a blessing to be a wealthy, eligible bachelor, Ras is absolutely panic-stricken at the idea of finding a bride. Rather than succumb to the matchmaking mothers of London, he retreats to an old family cottage with no plans to return to society. Though he manages to keep his presence in the country a secret, coming upon a lovely young woman during one of his rambles nearly undoes all his careful work. But when he realizes Miss Banner thinks him a ghost, Ras wonders if he might have found a way to cure his own fears.

It was breathtakingly beautiful

I thought it would have been a creepy, regency version of a horror ghost story since I didn’t really read the blurb but once I started chapter, I became so fascinated that I couldn’t help but finish this at one go. Societal attitudes, especially Luisa’s mum, just rankled my sensibilities! I can’t believe how cold they are! As for the entirety of the story, I loved that it was set in such a small town by the border between England and Scotland. I think that added to they mystery and the drama. There were a lot of small gems hidden within the lines, more than just the treasure that became an urban legend in that small town. It was a lovely book and I appreciated so much how it was read by the narrator.

Ghosts and treasure combine with romance

Story: 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this story; a set of bickering (delightful) ghosts, a Marquess trying to get on with writing his latest gothic novel, and a poor young lady come to live as a companion to her estranged aunt.

Nothing is as it seems and everything is delightful, with just a touch of the supernatural and some stellar detective work thrown in!

Sally Britton does it again! She tells an enjoyable regency tale with imperfect, lovable main characters and memorable side characters.

I have yet to not just absolutely love a Sally Britton book!

Narrator: 5 stars

Jessica Elisa Boyd is stellar! She does some really authentic-sounding British and Scottish accents/dialects. Her male voices are low enough to be believable and her expressions, pace and acting is top-notch! She makes this book come alive!

A fun twist on a regency romance

Loved this twist on a regency romance. I loved the relationship between Louisa and Ras. I love that she is able to look beyond his struggles and see the man inside. Sally always does such a beautiful job weaving her stories and this one is no exception! I loved the narrator as well. She did a wonderful job with each character.

so beautiful and enchantingly gothic!!

This was such a wonderful book! it has been a while since i read such an adorable and lovely book and am so excited to add this book to my collection! this had such a beautiful gothic undertone to the whole of it and i truly loved that! But i absolutely loved the main protagonist! she was quite yet strong and she was not like other historical women that were selfish and or eager for romance. she was mature, smart and clever, going with the flow of the story and my favorite characteristic....not overly flirtatious or demanding of the male leads affection! such a great read, highly recommend!!!!!

Fun ghostly romance

I have already read this book and loved it (see review below) so I grabbed the audio version and love it too. The narrator is fabulous.
*****

This sweet, clean romance was a delightful story. When I see the word haunting in a book title I think it is going to be spooky but this one was more amusing than anything. Bickering ghosts? They were funny. I would have liked more time with them. I always enjoy Ms. Britton's writing and this book was no exception.

I loved the main characters. Both Louisa and Erasmus had some growing to do and they kind of did it together. Louisa's aunt did a lot to help Louisa see she could enjoy her own life instead of living the life her mother imposed for her. And Erasmus learned how to talk to a woman if nothing else. His speech impediment made socializing rather difficult for him. And they solved the mystery together. I think Louisa missed her calling as an investigator because she was good at figuring things out.

I would have been happy to have this story continue longer. As it wrapped up I was disappointed that it was over already. Better to leave people wanting more? I enjoyed it.

No sex, language or violence

great characters and intriguing plot

I really enjoyed this book. The narrator did a great job with all the different characters and accents. the book caught my intrigue from the beginning wondering if the man was mad and how the woman would survive. Sally Britton did it again. she's a great story teller!

A different type of historical romance

This is a fun love story with adventure, ghosts, and romance. I had already read the book but enjoyed listening to it as well. The love that blossoms between Ras and Louisa is wonderful and sweet. Ras has some challenges with over coming a stutter with years of teasing and bullying. Louisa is the type of understanding spirit that can love him in spite of what others see as a flaw.
I also enjoyed this narrator.

So cute!

Great regency with a fun touch of gothic romance. I loved the characters and the setting and the treasure hunting aspect. Also, the narrator is fabulous. Great listen!

Sweet romance with a bit of mystery

Sweet story w/HEA and a couple of ghosts and a mystery. This really is more suited for young adults, in my opinion. Very sweet, prim and proper. A “clean” story that would be appropriate for our young daughters with a hint of faith. Very suitable for Christian readers. Excellent narration.
