Maybe This Time by Jennifer Crusie
3.0
The story of a divorced couple getting a second chance, with a far stronger supernatural element than I was expecting.
Andie wants to cut all ties with her ex husband North before she accepts her boyfriend's marriage proposal, and visits his office to return his alimony checks and ask him to stop sending them. Instead, she somehow ends up agreeing to help him with his two new wards for a month.
She ends up in a creepy castle of a house, caring for two very hurt, very wary children that.
Andie is slowly making progress with the children and is even dealing with some of her own issues, many of them relating to North, when she is forced to face the fact that the house is indeed haunted. Determined to get rid of the ghosts thathave been keeping the children from leaving the house, Andie starts doing research and reaches out to "experts" in the field, leading to a chaotic exorcism that everyone and their mother ends up attending.
North was my favorite character in the book despite being in the background for a big part of it, and gave me all the feels!
An engaging story with a satisfying happy ending, that the heroes earn after dealing with ghosts, as well as their own past issues and fears.
