Very sweet and sexy love story! I just loved all of the romantic moments and the original way the MCs communicated and fell in love. A HEA seems impossible when one of the parties involved is a ghost, but that does not deter Miguel and Edward! Miguel is such a sweetheart! I loved his gentle acceptance of his ghost squatter and the way he tried so hard to make life, or existence rather, better for Edward.
Edward is very much a product of his time, and it was fun to see these two very different men grow closer and learn from each other. Edward is at once the haunter of the uninvited intruders on “his” property and haunted himself, still, by the truly tragic circumstances that cost him his life. Seeing him find acceptance and love so unexpectedly was genuinely heartwarming.

I chose to read this book because it’s not often I stumble upon something that much out of the norm of romance tropes.
To be honest it’s the third book ever where I’ve had one of the MCs being a ghost or spirit.
My curiosity sufficiently picked I gave it a try.
I believe it’s a cute book and objectively a good book. I did find it a little mushy at times but it’s a personal feeling. I’m also not a fan of insta-love and those two were a bit quick.
Miguel decided to come back home to Oklahoma to be closer to his family.
The most affordable housing option is the old, decrepit estate that everyone thinks haunted.
Miguel knows this place, like every teenager he’s been there already. Dating himself to go in, squatting the place late at night …
Now the landlord of the house he discovers that ghosts aren’t just a myth in this home.
Edward died a violent, emotional death almost a century ago.
His spirit not at peace he haunts his family home, tentatively guarding it from vandalizing teens.
When Miguel moves in he’s not the young man who broke windows, he’s a confident, nice man ready to make amends and who greets its supposed occupants with an open mind.
Edward hasn’t talked to anyone in a hundred years. Nobody has cared about him. He’s more than ready for a friend.
Their friendship grows with communication tricks and soon feelings get deeper than that. But what future can you hope for when one of you is dead ?
It’s a sweet, cute story with an HEA.

The title of this is almost a misnomer, I get that it's a pun because Miguel is renovating the house he just bought that Edward happens to be haunting, though. I like the concept of this, I understand there is a series of these all with different ghost stories so I was keen to see how it would all resolve.
Edward has been trapped at his house for decades since being murdered, and now finds he can communicate with the new owner of the house, and so has a chance to move on. Miguel has moved home to be near his own family, and bought the house knowing it was haunted but didn't expect to be able to communicate with the ghost, let alone begin a relationship with it.
I really liked this story, I felt for Edward as his predicament wasn't of his own doing, and I felt sorry for him being trapped there all this time with nobody around. There is a bit of an insta-love thing, and it all develops between them fairly quickly and things escalate fast. I did wonder how it would all resolve and I admit to feeling a bit sad when I thought Edward was moving on and away.
It was a good story, it moved along fairly well and the characters are likable and the setting was well done too. This is a first from this author for me and I really enjoyed it.
I received an ARC and this is my honest review.

4.5 stars!
This ghost story was just so sweet and heartwarming!
Miguel moves home to help his mum and sister. He buys an abandoned and haunted old estate. He sets about cleaning the house and turning the barn into an area for him to do his art.
Edward is the houses resident ghost. He has been there for a long time after his family was murdered. When you learn the reason his family all died, my heart broke for him. He blames himself for what happened and he broke my heart.
I loved the relationship between him and Miguel. They start finding a way to communicate with each other and get to know each other. They form a beautiful friendship, that eventually turns to love. They just get each other, even if Edward doesn't get why Miguel loves wearing dresses. There story is a bit insta-love, but that works for this story.
I kept wondering how these two would be able to be together. As the story got nearer the end, I couldn't help feeling sad. Especially when Miguel does what he does for Edward near the end. I was suprised by how sexy, ghost sex was! It was very hot and intimate, even without Edward being physically there.
I loved the ending! I won't give it away as that would spoil the story. Let's just say, these two beautiful men do get a HEA!
