Fun read - not a keeper but enjoyable. A ghost story like her other books - it's full of sexy guys [both corporeal and not], fascinating settings and quirky plot turns.

None of her books are a 'series' but characters from previous books usually appear [at least briefly] on later ones.

This book was a lot darker than her previous titles. I did enjoy the unusual twist of ghosts EVERYONE can see but I can't really say they added very much to the story as a whole - the focus in this book was less on the spirits and more on the Hero's guilt.

Gabe MacGowan grew up with the ghosts that now haunt his pub. They are baffled why he would want to leave them, and hurt that he would do so. Allie Morgan died when she was younger, and when she was revived, she could see ghosts. Shes made it into her lifes work. Now she is hired for the job of a lifetime.

Allie Morgan can see dead people. She is hired by many to oust the spirits that haunt their homes. Usually, she talks to the spirits and does some research about them. Once she finds out why they are haunting, she tries to solve the problem. Allie loves her job, and she is good at it. She soon finds herself taking her first international job in Scotland to oust the spirits of a pub, Odins Thumb.

Gabe MacGowan is the proprietor of Odins Thumb Inn and Pub in a Scottish village and he has hired Allie to oust the spirits that live there. They keep scaring away potential buyers. He is determined to sell the pub so he and his son Jake can move. Not only for a more stable environment for his son, but also to escape the ghosts that haunt him, particularly his dead wife.

Allie falls in love with the Pub and its ghosts very quickly. She is determined to break the hard shell Gabe has enclosed himself in, as well as try to keep her own heart from getting broken. Gabe is scared to unleash his horrific burden on Allie, even though her very presence ignites feelings in him he hasnt felt in a long while. Between the two of them, sparks fly and emotions run deep.

A beautiful Scottish background, ghosts who are full of character, and witty prose make this a fun and enjoyable read. With a splash of romance, gut-wrenching emotion, and a solid plot, MACGOWANS GHOST is wonderful to read while catching some rays or curled up in front of the fire.

This book is a very good read, if you like ghost stories and romance and mystery,

and the slight touch of paranormal.
