Spicy paranormal romance. Rosemary is a horror author. Her book is being adapted to film. She doesn’t agree with the casting of the lead actor Ellis. Ellis is aware that she doesn’t think he is right for the part. They have immediate tension. Additionally, the mansion the movie is being filmed at is being haunted by a pair of regency ghosts.
I enjoyed this one. I liked both main characters. I enjoyed their interactions with each other. I loved the spice level. I liked the regency ghosts. One thing that took me out of the story was that Rosemary is suppose to be southern but during her narration she is describing what Ellis is wearing and she says jumper instead of sweater. And the rest of the story when she described what she was wearing she said sweater so maybe it was an error. Also regarding the regency ghosts the letters were written in language that would have made sense during that time but the journal that was written at the same time wasn’t. But overall I enjoyed it. I would read more from this author. I found out that this is from a series and I have not read the first book but I didn’t have any issues reading this as a standalone. I do plan on going back and reading the first book.
