Audrey Magill seems like a throwback to a past generation.
She's a professional hat designer, of all things, leaving
the reader to wonder who could make a living designing hats
in this day and age. Audrey relocated to Louisville,
Kentucky, to capitalize on the hat-wearing fashionistas
looking to make an impression at the famed Kentucky Derby.
Audrey moves into an old house that doubles as her workshop
and retail store. In an attempt to settle in, she goes
antique shopping for some furniture and decorations. She
spies a very old portrait of a Captain Silas Leyton
Summerfield, and for some reason, she's drawn to him. The
price tag of $1000 magically changes to $100, which is in
her budget. When she takes Silas home with her, the fun
begins.
Strange things start happening in Audrey's home. She soon
realizes that Silas picked her that day in the shop to
carry out a mission to save the soul of one of his wayward
descendants.
The concept of READY & WILLING is clever. However, I found
the book to get off to a slow start, requiring a bit of
patience on this reader's part.
When Audrey Magill stumbles onto a portrait of a
19th-century riverboat captain, she thinks it’ll be perfect
for her new hat shop. She doesn’t expect to meet a ghost who
insists Audrey must help save the soul of his
great-great-however-many-greats grandson. Now in addition to
scrambling to open her shop in time for the Kentucky Derby,
she must convince a complete stranger that he’s in danger of
losing his soul— and that everlasting love does exist.
