Baking with a Ghost by R.M. Neill
4.0
This is part of the multi-author shared Haunted Love Universe. John is escaping an abusive relationship and has moved to a small town, aptly called Hope, for a chance at a new start. Simon has been dead for nearly a hundred years, dead before he ever really got a chance at life and wants that soul mate connection to gain a second chance at life.
I really enjoyed this one, John is a likable MC, even though we don't get to know much about him other than he's a baker and his ex is not a good person. The book is all written in single person POV, so we never really get to know what Simon thinks other than at the prologue at the beginning. John is likable enough though that to see the events unfold through his eyes, really works. It's pretty gradual how his interactions with Simon start out, little things here and there all leading up to the point where he wants to meet Simon in person, and then it's pretty much insta-love.
The story is cute, these two really work as a couple even though Simon struggles to adjust with the modern world (to be expected) and I really liked the story when we found out about what actually happened to Simon and why he died in the first place. The added twist at the end with Mike was great too. This was a fun, entertaining and comfort read and I highly enjoyed it.
I received an ARC and this is my honest review.
