OF GHOSTS AND GARDENS by Sarah M. Eden: If Enid Pryce has one downfall, it’s that she talks to the ghost in her garden, which doesn’t make her too popular among society’s elite. In fact, she returns to her home in Wales after a Season in Bath with not one offer of marriage. Deeming herself a failure at the nearly-spinster age of nineteen, she is pleasantly surprised when an English gentleman shows up in her garden, apparently intent on finding out more about the ghost. Burke Kennard, grandson of an English marquess, quickly becomes utterly charmed by the young Welsh woman, but the ghost in the garden is more likely to push them apart than pull them together.

IT’S YOU by Annette Lyon: When Charlie and Anna both see the ghost of Nanny Mae, they think they’re losing their minds. Anna tries to find out more about the ghost and uncovers a decades’ old family secret. One that separated two people in love. Now, the ghost of Nanny Mae must set her wrongs to right. As Charlie and Anna explore the past, and the truth of what happened, they discover that the mistakes of the past might lead to love of the future.

He hopes that the change of scenery will help ease his grief over his deceased wife, Cate. After falling overboard, though, he is captured by a siren and taken to a mystical island. Through the sirens’ song, Oliver is able to relive his memories of Cate—both the good and the bad—as long as he gives away his memories of her. But can he sacrifice his best memory in exchange for one last chance to say good-bye?

HE MAN OF HER DREAMS by Jordan McCollum: Homicide detective Alexandra Steen dreams about real murders before they happen, seeing the crime through the eyes of the killers.

Seven years might have passed since her breakup with Nick, but the years haven’t changed her feelings for him.

When he invites her to his reclusive mansion to restore an old wooden rocking horse, Naomi can’t resist accepting the job.

    This collection features 3 historical stories and 3 contemporary stories having to do with All Hallow’s Eve (Halloween) or just ghosts or paranormal things in general. Some stories were definitely more tied to the specific date of All Hallow’s Eve and some just featured a ghost or paranormal element.
    I did not find the stories to be “creepy” or “scary” (thankfully!) – my biggest complaint as usual is that I want most of them to be longer and tell us more of the characters and their stories! These are some of my favorite authors and I thoroughly enjoy their short stories.

  2. I am a huge fan of the Timeless Romance Anthologies! They always have some from my favorite authors and some new-to-me authors that I can experience a bit of their writing style. In this spooky collection, I loved the first three historical stories the most- I felt like the ghost factor is more believable for the older time periods and the interactions of the characters are sweet with the mannerisms of the era they are set in. “Of Ghosts and Gardens” was utterly charming, from the way the Enid and Burke meet and immediately respond to each other in friendship to the family and community’s obsession with the local ghosts and folklore. The mystery they worked on together was interesting and the ending was perfection. “It’s You” has a melancholy feeling with the regrets of the ghost coming to light through the efforts of Anna and Charlie, but they have some pleasant sigh-worthy moments that lighten the mood. “Sophia’s Curse” felt like I was reading a full-length novel, the plot was meaty and the characters complex.

    The contemporary stories were well-written but not quite my cup of tea. “The Man of Her Dreams” reminded me of a crime-drama TV show like The Ghost Whisperer and was full of suspense. “The Siren’s Song” blended a mythology vibe with a modern-day grieving widower. “The Ghost of Millhouse Mansion” featured a sassy heroine and a twist similar to the film The Sixth Sense. So if those are themes you enjoy the contemporary stories are for you!
