This was not at all what I expected. I was in the mood for a historical Indian romance, but I never expected ghosts, curses and time travel! I just opened up a book with a title that sounded interesting and this is what I got. The story was surprisingly interesting. A man is betrayed and killed for a crime he didn't commit so he put a curse on the people who killed him and their land. And boy did the curse ever stick! Fast-forward 125 years to a woman who was recently widowed by a descendant of the cursed family, and she has now come into ownership of the very cursed ranch.

Somehow, after having haunted the place since his death 125 years prior, he finally meets someone who can see him. After accepting the fact that she has a ghosting haunting her ranch, the two become friends. She, Kathy, convinces him, Dalton, to tell her about his life so that she can write it all down. Between spending time doing that and rebuilding the ranch, they fall in love and inexplicably get sent back to his time to right the wrongs done him and to take care of unfinished business.

I enjoyed the story even with all the modern-day mixed into it. I never thought I would enjoy a time travel historical romance, but this pleasantly surprised me. It was a sweet tale with a happy ending.
