With ghosts popping up here and there, will they have a shot at a real romance?Cassie has a choice to make. Will she choose the hottest werewolf of all, or the ghost of her dreams?

Review: Not a bad story at all. There were times when I felt very torn between the two men in Cassie's life and I didn't really know who to root for. The climax was a little predictable as was most of the build up. Since this is only the first in what appears to be several stories about these folks, I have to say that I am looking forward to reading Cole's story next as I really liked him.

There were some editing issues that I found in the ARC. The editor was emailed and made aware of the issues.

All in All it was a cute read and the characters seemed to have good motivation most of the time. I still had some unanswered questions at the end, but as I said, this appears to be the first of several stories so I assume we will get the answers later :)
