This was a really great romantic story. Due to the circumstances of the plot there was a nice solid build up of romantic intent between the two main characters. If you'd like a story that isn't so focused on the "act" this is the book for you! I'm really looking forward to another by this author. Due out on 11/06/07 is Into Thin Air ISBN 0451222628
From the back of the book:
When Tristan de BArre and his men were murdered in 1292, their souls were cursed to roam his estate for all eternity. It's been a long, dull, celibate ever after. But now Tristan's phantom heart is pounding again for the first time in more than seven hundred years because of the beautiful scientist who's digging up his castle's bailey. Can he make her notice him, or will she see straight through him?
The opportunity to excavate the remains at Dreadmoor Castle has forensic archaeologist Andi Monroe tingling with excitement. It's an incredible find and a chance to study the mysterious legend of Dragonhawk, a medieval knight who disappeared without a trace. Lately, though, rational Andi is having a hard time telling fact from fiction. She could just swear she met the vanished knight, and he's a fantasy come true. But until she finds a way to help Tristan lift the curse, their love doesn't stand a ghost of a chance....

Loved it. Looking forward to reading more by this author. A real pager turner, not erotic but full of romance and mystery.

Absolutely LOVED this book! The plot is unusual and the characters are well written. Even the "mystery" aspect of it kept me turning the pages. Even if you don't normally read "paranormal" (I don't) read this one, you won't regret it.

This was a great story. Quite similar to the show Bones with romance, mystery and humor.
This is a very good book. I like it, I own it, and I've read it several times. However, if you've read Lynn Kurland's "Stardust of Yesterday" this story will sound very familiar. It different enough to be it's own story, and the story is good, but you might feel some deja vu reading it.
On the other hand, if you read this and like it, then I can promise you will LOVE Stardust of Yesterday.

Loved this one. Can't wait to read the next one.
This one is a page-turner. I really enjoyed it.
Loved the story line. Very well written. Love those Knights.
Great Book ! A lot of laughter, suspense and confusion.
This was a very sweet and funny book. I really enjoyed it.
This was an enjoyable read. Tristan and his knights were murdered (and cursed) in 1292. Fast forward to present day. Andi, a forensic archaeologist, is tasked with excavating a skeleton and weaponry buried underneath a tree that goes uprooted by a storm. What ensues next is a nice mystery. If you like your romance clean, with some paranormal, I would recommend this one.
Enjoyed this book. It ws a Fun read.:-)
