Wanted: Ghostbusting Bride




Wanted: Ghost busting Bride Margaret Breashears & Donna Helmedag


            Welcome, Welcome, Welcome. Have a seat, grab a cup of coffee and let me tell you about this exciting tale, of a whirl wind romance Haunted by medaling ancestor’s hell bent to make people bend to their will.

             This Modern day romance, mixed with regal London debutants, with a twist of paranormal interjections. Makes this story jump off the page at every turn. It’s a change of pace for the ordinary romance lover! The question that I struggled with, “what would you do to save your Family?” for our main characters having to Marry but not just to save Ryne Castle, its people, and inevitably Spencer Markham the Castles Lord. Whose soul responsibility to take the orders of his 500 year old ancestor the Lady Anne. Whose Emerald haunting has delegated him to marry the Sassy, Scientific, Career oriented, American, Kailyn Baker. When two Ancient entities are fighting for the rights to the heir of the Ryne, and it’s lost treasure. Spencer, a man who never believed he would love anyone but himself, must convince Kailyn that the castle is not only haunted, but she is the one hand picked by Lady Anne for him to Marry, so that Ryne can prosper. She is ready to submit him for bedlam! Fighting off the Ancient Lady Anne’s nemesis Desdemona will be the easy task compared to making Kailyn fall in love with him.

               Kailyn Baker takes to London to interview for a position in the prestigious Markham and Martin. Happy to be on her way to a comfy life in Dallas. Marriage was not on the horizon. Till she is thrown into a weeklong interview and festivities to prove to the Tall, dark, Handsome, and possibly certifiable Spencer Markham that his castle is NOT haunted, she is NOT his intended, and she will not marry him. She is thrown to the wolves in the 18th century costumes. Where she makes few friends and more enemies then she cares to have tea with. Kailyn finds Markham’s charm too much to deny, Will she be able to make him trust her? Can she accept a Marriage where is she sure he will leave as soon as the vows are read?

              This was a Delightful tale! I thoroughly enjoyed this read! I didn’t fall as hard as I would have liked too for Spencer but I can’t help but love a driven man! As Always the heroin is my favorite Kailyn made a hard attempt to keep her sanity in check in the mist of the frills and side saddle horseback riding. And still fights in the end, the paranormal twists in this book make it much more than a normal romance and I Love that! Most times “Paranormal” means vampires and don’t get me wrong I LOVE ME A GOOD Blood sucking read! But this was a new fresh breath of air! And much needed! I think the authors not only win in my book for being Texans! But for enchanting the lovely Spencer Markham with the ever realist Kailyn Baker! I give this a Strong 7 out of 10! But for no other reason than I prefer a little more Lovin!

As always thank you, and Happy Reading!
