5.0

Ava Collette a cookbook author needing to getaway from some past memories, decides to rent a home in a coastal town in Maine. She tells everyone she needs space and quiet to begin writing a new book about New England cuisine. The old home she’s rented is called Brodie’s Watch named after it’s original owner Brodie a sea captain who died at sea over a hundred years ago. Soon after she arrives she learns the previous tenant another woman left abruptly even before her lease was up. One evening Ava begins to hear noises during the night soon she comes face to face with a ghost who looks just like Captain Brodie and she can feel him when he touches her face. She decides to dig into the homes history and soon discovers that the previous home owners have all died there and they were woman. As her feelings grow for the ghost of Captain Brodie and there were some steamy scenes, she begins to wonder if she stays there any longer she may be in danger herself! I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I found myself completely engrossed and it was hard to put down! This book will have you lost in the small town and the secrets they keep along with ghost and some steamy scenes mix in some mystery it’s the perfect combination! Five stars!
