A modern career woman thrust back in time into the glittering Regency period and the arms of an unscrupulous rake.

Josephine Drummond is a professional paranormal researcher (aka, a ghostbuster) hired to prove that the ghost of Lord Deverell Thornton, the very handsome Earl and a notorious rake in his time, haunts the crumbling Waite Castle. But the ghost drags Josephine back to the Regency period to help him try to prevent the swindle that impoverished the Earl and threatens to turn his castle into a most undignified modern-day tourist attraction.

Josephine has to contend with being a modern career woman trying to navigate the complex social scene of the Regency period, make sure no one discovers her real identity and unmask a charlatan. But all of these are easier than resisting her undeniable attraction to the Earl, who is clearly determined to sweep her off her feet.

Since Holly reviewed this book a while ago I’ll go straight into what I liked. You can read her review here.

When I read the plot, I was really wanting to read this book. Mostly to see what would happen at the end. Would Josie go back to her time or stay?

I know some people said the beginning was slow. I didn’t think it was. When they got to doing the seances is when I was thinking, “Ok, let’s speed things along here.” One of my favorite scenes was when Josie was so happy to find a shower. Shoot, I was happy for her. I also thought it was cute when ghost Dev was jealous of himself.

All in all, I enjoyed this book. I liked the twist of the two Dev’s and how it was resolved. I also liked how we learned the rules of the regency period without feeling we were in class.

Grade: 4/5
