I love the double epilogue!
Wow! I ABSORBED this book in one sitting. I absolutely could not put it down.
Alice is a lonely smut author who lives by herself with her dog, Daisy. She seems to have no friends or family, and quite literally does nothing all day long except write, drink wine, and putter around the house. When a storm causes a tree to become unrooted, Daisy finds a box with a mysterious ring and note in it.
Henry is a ghost that has been dead for hundreds of years. He lost his love and life to his best friend and was brought back when his ring was dug up. There’s a bit more to it but I don’t want to leave any spoilers. Henry is a real ghost. He’s not able to take shape or move objects. He quite literally is just there. The only thing he can seem to do is touch Alice and speak to her (and dogs can hear him).
Reading as their love story unfolds was amazing. I was so nervous for the ending because I wanted them to stay together so badly!! I will say (without spoilers) that it does have a HEA, if rather morbid.
I was offered a free copy of this book for my honest opinion and I recommend it!!

This was not what i expected & i loved every second of it.
@m.a.cobb_author did an amazing job of showing how fate will find even the least believing people… space & time be damned!

This did not go at all how I imagined as I was reading this!!!
Yes it was very very smutty but the eternal love felt between the MCs was heart clenching!
I loved this book from start to finish all the little nuisances and the genuine reactions a lot of people would have to certain paranormal surprises was funny but realistic.
I was reading faster than my eyes could move as I was wondering what would happen if they were to be discovered in their experimentations at the end.
The ending was disappointing until I realized it wasn’t the end and then seeing the justice served was a greater satisfaction than I could have imagined. Oh it was so well deserved that I smiled so hard.
But the true ending has me begging for more!
It was exciting and thrilling with the suspense to drag you with.

Alice is a romance author who lives alone with her dog, Daisy. She chose a cozy spot to live, surrounded by woods and far away from anyone else.
One night, during a storm, a 200 year old oak tree falls on top of her car. Alice finds a small wooden box beneath the ancient tree's roots and inside, a square ring with a skull on it and an ominous note addressed to a Henry.
"Henry, your love was fierce, but my heart lies with another."
Suddenly consumed by the thought of someone loving her the same way, Alice wishes she could find someone to love her fiercely - and it comes true.
After centuries of being stuck in a void, Henry is summoned to join Alice. She can't see him, but she can sense him, she can hear him, she can touch him. And if she didn't think she had a tumor growing in her head making her absolutely crazy, she could even love him.
My thoughts:
@m.a.cobb_author has done it again!! I absolutely loved this book. The story is short and so easy to read. The story line was so unique. I loved Alice's character, her inner dialogue was hilarious and so were her conversations with Daisy. But OH MY SOUL did I love Henry!! He was such a fierce character, with such a dirty mouth! I loved how much he cared for Alice and his reactions to modern world changes were so good! This book was so damn spicy and the ending was so not expected!
