This book ok. It was bit slow for me. I liked Dion a lot, but I didn’t always like Vanessa, especially how rude she was to Dion for like 60-70% of the book and when she was making dumb decision for no reason. I would’ve liked to know more about the ghost investigation business. I don’t feel like we really got to see them in action that much, and that part felt underdeveloped.

Life for Vanessa was good, until she lost her fiance and job on the same day. Retreaing back to her grandmother's beach house to re adjust, she finds out something strange. Her grandmother feels that her departed husband's spirit is still in the house and has asked the Livingston brothers to find out why. Vanessa doesn't belive that's the case, and that they're trying to scam her grandmother. Dion, one of the brothers makes it his mission to prove to Vanessa that they're on the up and up and that this is not a scam. In the midst, they begin to have feelings for each other.

I'm not normally a paranormal fan, but I really enjoyed this book and start to the series. i loved how the story was written as well as the character development and I can't wait for the next book in the series.

I received a copy of the book via the author and am voluntarily leaving an honest review of my own thoughts and opinions

A cute small-town romance. I loved what a soft hero Dion was, and that he was the one who moved to the big city for the heroine, who refused to compromise on her career goals. The ghost hunting side plot was an interesting addition, though I wish it were a little more prominent.

A clever and well written story featuring fleshed out characters and an unusual plot that mixes romance with a pinch of paranormal.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Recommended.

This was so fun! Seriously a harlequin presents that features a ghost hunting trio of brothers. We follow Vanessa and Dion here.

Vanessa has lost her job as a news anchor in Atlanta. She moves to her grandmas beach town and meets the ghost hunting brothers. Convinced they are scamming her grandma and lairs she investigates their claims.

Dion melted my heart. He fell for Vanessa so fast and hard I loved getting to see him struggle with how he felt for her.

Really enjoyed this one even though I wish it played up more of the supernatural element. Dion was a great character and though I wasn’t 100% crazy about Vanessa they did have great chemistry.
