Generally, I enjoyed the BAD LUCK BRIDES series much better than this one. There's a minimum of plot in both of the books related to the missing Texas Declaration of Independence documents dreamed up by the author (see below).

This is the second book in the series. Jake Delaney is pursuing the missing documents to Scotland, where it is rumored one of the five copies is hidden. He runs into Gillian Ross, who is in desperate need of selling a huge old castle that has been in the family's possession for generations. The only person vaguely interested in buying the gigantic mansion wants a castle with a ghost ... or two.

Jake decides that admitting that he wants the treasured documents (said to be in the castle) might not gain him entrance. So, he comes under false colors. Since Gillian needs to try out her ghost costume and behaviors, she decides to start haunting Jake. Well, Jake is not impressed and starts to look for how the tricks are being done.

The reason I gave this book 3 stars is because of the many laugh-out-loud moments and the general hilarity of the dialogue. The plot was extremely thin.

Chrissy and Cole Morgan return from the first book, as does the mother of both Chrissy and Jake -- Elizabeth (the daughter of the Earl of Thornbury).
