A lot of things could of been frustrating about this book but it wasn't. It was so sweet and thoughtful. Megs and Godric talked things through in ways that felt mature and loving. I loved them so much (

First-rate romance with solid mystery subplot.

Another book, another Ghost of St. Giles, another soul needing redemption.

This time redemption comes in the form of Lady Margaret Reading, who returns to town with a motive, she wants a baby from her estranged husband. He, Godric St. John, has been living a secluded daytime life in London and then endangering his life as the Ghost in the evenings.

Then Lady Margaret shows up without warning at Godric's London house, complete with his sister, her great-aunt and a pregnant pug. His life will never be the same.

I gave this 3 stars on my first read, but after the second read, I think it actually deserves 4. It's pretty good. The heroine is a bit of a ninny for a good chunk of the book, but the story is entertaining, and the hero, though not particularly dashing to start, really becomes quite endearing. (

My favorite so far. Godric has deserved happiness for so long!

Cerestheories | Nov 8, 2021 |

Diverting enough, but it was hard to understand what Megs found appealing about Godric for most of the book. Also, what's with all the banyan wearing. If I want to see a man in a highly stylized faintly oriental dress I will watch a YouTube video of whirling dervishes. Also, there is a weird random scene with Artemis (a barely glimpsed character who is the main character in the next book) visiting Bedlam that has nothing to do with anything except that she gifts a man a banyan, and that is in theme.
