Thanks to three troublemaking ghosts, Victoria McKinnon is
in England preparing to direct Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Unfortunately for her, she doesn't know that they, a:
exist, and b: have set her up as a match for the
insufferable (and ghostly) Laird Connor MacDougal.
Connor isn't too thrilled to find a McKinnon traipsing on
his territory, and Victoria is startled to discover that
her play will star real (but not real) ghosts. To make
peace, Victoria promises that if Connor leaves her actors
alone, he may haunt her for a month. Instead, they both
find themselves wanting to stay together for a bigger
reason than the truce.
Victoria and Connor find themselves in a bind -- she's
alive, while he's about 800 years old. The two must figure
out a way to live together or not live. Thanks to Granny
McKinnon, a solution is developed, but the only way to
succeed is for Victoria to travel to another time and
dangerous place to capture her love's heart again.
This is a touching love story with a lot of humor and
sparkling characters. The family is hilarious, and there's
much to say about a man who wields a sword. I loved the
idea of a ghostly romance and Ms. Kurland captured my heart
with the fairy tale ending. Everything is necessary to the
plot, but the book is unusually long. I can't wait to read
more of Kurland's books to see the mischief that the
matchmaking ghosts have in store for Victoria's siblings.
When Victoria McKinnon's brother offers to finance her
production of Hamlet, she leaps at the chance. She can't
imagine anything better than staging Shakespeare's
masterpiece in an honest-to-goodness English castle.
There's just one problem: the place is haunted by a grumpy,
gorgeous Highland warrior who's furious that anyone dares
to invade his home.
Connor MacDougal has no intention of relinquishing his
authority over Thorpewold castle to anyone, let alone a
McKinnon. But when he catches a glimpse of the beautiful
intruder, suddenly he can't help but wonder why it's taken
eight hundred years into his afterlife to find the love of
a lifetime . . .
