I'm not a fan of romances as a genre, so take it all with a grain of salt.

This was a lovely light story of an heiress hotel owner/ semi-successful writer who falls for a cutting-edge-tech-ghost hunter. Naturally, her hotel, and her family's history are interesting to him, and it all brings them together.

Oh. And the dog makes comments here and there. I'm not certain how I feel about that, but I didn't utterly hate it. It was almost endearing.

I will say, however, this is one of those where the plot twist makes you want to throw the book. If you like that sort of thing, go for it. If you can't handle it, read it anyway.

The only criticism of the narration is that she seemed a little too chipper at times for the circumstances. But 1 also acknowledge that was how the book was written. And I can't imagine how to achieve the balance between lighthearted romance and very serious life issues.

Overall well written, interesting, decent flow.
