This was a disappointment to me after really loving Jewel's book, "Indiscreet". The plot was a hot mess. It was all very gothic with the ghost and the castle, and the hero being cruel and mistrustful. I couldn't figure out how he went from wanting to interrogate the heroine about his brother's death, to them suddenly having a romantic relationship. It seemed like for most of the book he was trying to push her off on his friend James to marry. There was a lot of confusion between dream sequences and reality, and I'm still not sure what scenes actually happened and I didn't care enough to reread and figure it out.
