This is my first Heather Graham book, and I really liked it. It is one of those books that you don't want to put down [I read it in one day!]and the ending was a surprise. I will definitely be reading more of this author's books.

Six friends rent an old scotish castle to hold reenactment tours for tourists, then discover they had been had, they rented a castle that wasn't for rent, murders were hapening and the ghost of the original laird of the castle appears to help solve the crime, clear his name and ensure his wife is put to rest beside him. A cute story with some romance, paranormal activities, murder mystery and fun.

Another great Heather Graham. This one had me guessing until the very end. Toni Frasier is once again having visions of murder. Visions she thought she had "turned off" in childhood. Add that she is seeing the ghost of the ancient Laird of the castle and she's spooked. She and her friends thought they had a rent-to-own lease on the ancient Scottish castle, but when the current Laird turns up, they find they have been duped and their life savings is gone. Don't want to give too much away - there are lots of twists and turns. REALLY enjoyed it!

GREAT story! I hadnt read this author before but I loved this book. Great, fast read
Paranormal romance with a murder mystery in a haunted castle.
i liked it,interesting story
Ancient rundown Scottish castle... with ghost?
Fairly pleased with this book. It has a nice plot that will keep you guessing. The topic was a bit graphic [backdrop of a serial killer dumping bodies in the local forest] for before-bed reading, but it makes a great weekend page turner.
This is a fun book and thrilling and suspenceful at the same time. The plot moves along and the characters are all interesting. It is a fast read and between the ghost and the nowaday characters it moves fast. I recommend it.
This was an interesting read, with a paranormal twist.
Young women are being killed and dumped and Toni can see through the eyes of the killer...a great paranormal romance and mystery.Heather Graham wirtes a great book as usual.
There is a lot happening in this book and I don't want to ruin it so I'm just going to copy the back cover of the book for you,

Sweep visitors into a reenactment that comvines fact and fiction, complete with local history, murder and an imaginarey laird named Bruce MacNiall.
But when the castle's actual owner--a tall, dark and formidable Scot who shares the fictional laird's name--comes chargin in, Toni is shocked. How is it possible that he even exists? Toni invented Bruce MacNiall for the performance...yet every particle of his being is eerily famimliar.

This book was amazing! One of the best paranormal romance novels I've ever read.
Started a little slow, but turned into a pretty good mystery/love story.
Another ghostly romance from Heather Graham. Loved the ensemble of characters, even if I did guess the villain fairly early. Contains "cameo" appearances by Adam Harrison, Darcy and Matt Stone from the book, Haunted, by same author. Not a sequel though.

This book is about a group of people who run a tourist attraction in Scotland. A man shows up claiming that he owns the castle that the group is using for tourism. The strange man looks alot like the original owner from hundreds of years ago! Great read!
Group of actors takes over a castle, then discovers the owner didn't rent it to them. They get involved with a serial killer and a ghost. Good suspense.

5 stars - A real page-turner that you won't be able to put down. As a child, Toni Fraser has chillingly accurate dreams of murders about to be committed, a
psychic gift she suppresses. Years later, Toni and five friends follow a real-life dream:
they procure a ruined Scottish castle and turn it into a tourist attraction, highlighted by
a faux historical show Toni scripts about a murderously passionate Cromwellian-period laird,
Bruce MacNiall. Of course, the laird is fictional, as is Toni's terrifying tale of his
wife's strangling. Or so it seemsuntil an angry kilted hunk thunders onstage one night atop
a black stallion, claiming to be the castle's absentee owner, Bruce MacNiall. Ghost? Not
likely. But when several missing girls are found strangled to death in the surrounding
forest, it certainly appears that some murderous spirit is very much alive. The author's
seamless incorporation of just a few supernatural elements into an otherwise solidly real
situation makes the nightmarish threat believable. But more than anything, Graham's
(Haunted, etc.) deft characterization of Toni and her friends (who are as funny and familiar
as the cast of "Friends"), and especially the laird, mysterious but never one-dimensionally
goth, keeps interest in the book's romance, as well as its suspense, high.

Toni Fraser and her friends think they've hit on the ultimate moneymaking plan. Buy an ancient run-down Scottish castle. Turn it into a tourist destination. Sweep visitors into a reenactment that combines fact and fiction, complete with local history, murder and an imaginary laird named Bruce MacNiall.
But when the castle's actual owner - a tall, dark, and formidable Scot who shares the fictional laird's name - comes charging in, Toni is shocked. How is it possible he even exists? Toni invented Bruce MacNiall for the performance...yet every particle of his being is eerily familiar.
Soon the group is drawn into a real-life murder mystery; young women are being killed, their bodies dumped nearby. And Toni is having sinister lifelike dreams in which she sees through the eyes of the killer - dreams that suggest a connection to Laird MacNiall. Bruce claims he wants to help catch the murderer. But can Toni trust him...especially when his ghostly double wanders the forest in the black of night?
