 Lately, I’ve been so starved for reading material that I just pick up whatever looks slightly interesting, regardless of the author. I was happy to find a familiar name in the store´s shelf so I just picked it up and bought it. From the cover it looked like a contemporary romance, I didn’t read the summary at the back or think twice about it.
I found out that, while it is indeed a contemporary romance, it had a slight paranormal twist to it. As usual, Jude Deveraux creates that strong tie to the main character early on – in this case Jace Montgomery, which I suspect is a descendant of the Montgomery character at “Night and Shining Armor”, a Time Travel romance Mrs. Deveraux wrote quite a few years back.
I don’t want to give anything away, but for quite a while I thought this man would have to die for the story to have a happy ending – I prefer them.
 In the end, I was always very interested in finding out what would happen next, which is a good indication – to me, at least – that it was a good book. So, get ready for ghosts, a bit of time travel, suspense and a lot of gossip from the little village of Margate in England.
From the back cover
It´s been three years since his fiancée’s mysterious suicide, and Jace Montgomery still hungers for answers. Stacy was kind, funny and in love – why, on a trip to England, would she end her life in a room above a village pub? Then Jace stumbles upon a photo of a rambling estate tucked inside one of Stacy’s books – and a cryptic note dated one day before her death: “Ours again. Together forever. See you there…”
Drawing on his family’s vast wealth, Jace returns to England to purchase the unsightly Piroy House – and soon discovers it is haunted by the headstrong ghost of Ann Stuart. Unraveling the ties between past and present with the help of a beautiful local journalist, Jace must at last reconcile his heartwrenching loss and his own hopeful future.
