I was never one to believe in spirits—until six years ago, when a bone-chilling accident changed my life…forever.

My name is Charlotte, but most people call me Char…and I have a special gift. 
 

I talk to the dead. 

Make no mistake, I can’t summon them. I’m only able to see and speak to the spirits that linger when they’re unable to crossover. They’re somehow weighted to the world with unfinished affairs. And for the last six years, I’ve relentlessly used my gift to help their lost souls.

But it’s come at a price. My life is dark. Feeling despondent, I’ve begun to give up. And in helping the dead, I’ve realized I haven’t allowed myself to live. With no money, no place to go, and most importantly… no hope, I’ve decided there is only one option—to end it all.

But fate is a funny thing. One minute, I’m about to leap to my death, and the next, I’m saved by Ike McDermott. The strong, striking soldier stopped me from putting an end to my despair. He’s the kind of man that smiles and brightens an entire room. Sweet and gentle.

He is my savior. 

And he’s dead.

We’ve made an agreement. He’ll help me find a place to stay and a new job if I’ll help him with his unfinished business so that he may crossover.

Ike’s unfinished matter involves his twin brother, George. George has been falling apart since Ike’s death and Ike has not been able to compel himself to crossover in peace until he knows George will be okay.

When I agreed to help, little did I know that I’d fall in love with the charming folks of Bath County, and…Ike and George McDermott.

Now, as both brothers own equal parts of my heart, I am faced with a cruel and unfair predicament. In saving George, I must let go of Ike. 
 

But how does one let go of half of their heart?

Ike and Charlotte



It’s nine in the morning and Charlotte is still sleeping. She looks different with dry hair in the light of day. Her dark hair is shiny and soft, fanned out over the pillows. Her lips are now pink, not blue as they were last night. She’s on her stomach, the blanket just barely covering her ass. Her skin looks so smooth and creamy, I’d give anything to touch it. I know I shouldn’t be staring at her like this, but I can’t help it. I may be dead, but I’m still a man—I like to look at beautiful women.





I have to get her up. She needs to get to her truck, and we need to get her a job immediately.



Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!” I yell, and clap my hands in front of her face. She jolts up, her eyes frantic. I get a great shot of her breasts, and dear God, they are beautiful, I mean, call me an asshole, but I have no shame in staring at her before she jerks the blanket up, covering herself. Man, I miss the feel of a woman. Their softness, their warmness.



I’m going to kill you!” she shouts.



Little late for that, babe,” I reply and jerk my chin. She tosses a pillow at me. It goes right through me and lands on the floor.



I yawn. “Ouch.”



Don’t wake me up like that ever again!” she shouts. “I don’t have any clothes on!”



Really? I hadn’t noticed,” I mock confusion.



Asshole!”



My, my, we’re grumpy in the morning,” I chuckle as she stands, wrapping the blanket around her. The dead can still get hard-ons. I have to turn from her, so she doesn’t see mine as I mentally lick her long, lean body. Damn!



She grabs her bag and scurries into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her. Apparently, mornings are not her forte. When she exits the bathroom, she’s wearing worn jeans with holes all over and a black tank top. Her dark hair is down and she’s put on a little makeup. Although she still looks tired and frail, she looks refreshed, and that makes me happy. I don’t know her well, but I hope when all is said and done, I can help her find some happiness.



How much did you see?” she asks as she zips her backpack up.



Not much.” I shrug and she sighs with relief. “Just your breasts,” I add nonchalantly, and she throws a hair brush at me, which zips right through me and hits the wall.



Thought we already established that won’t work.”



You suck,” she huffs and flings her backpack over her shoulder.



They were really nice, Charlotte.” I compliment her and she blushes, but she can’t help but smile.



You’re lucky my gift is limited to seeing and hearing you. If I could touch you, you’d be talking in soprano right now.”





This book was amazing and beautifully written. I finished it waaaaay past my bedtime, even though I had to get up in some odd hours for work because I just could not put it down! It even stuck with me all day. I'd keep seeing Char and Ike bicker with each other...I'd hear another character from the book named Sniper flirt with his sexy accent he had...swoon. This author is a very...very good writer.



The main character Char hasn't really lived for herself since she woke up from a tragic accident...with a new gift/curse. Her family thought she had lost her mind, so after trying, and failing with medication, they pretty much sent her on her way. Fast Forward 6 years, and what has Char achieved?



A place she can call home? Nope.
People she can rely on and truly call her friends? Nope.
The desire to continue living and helping souls finish their unfinished business so that they may cross over and start their own version of “Happily Ever After”? Nope.
She's done.
Power Down.
Lights...out.



Until at the very last possible second by some miracle a really hot Gi-Joe of a soldier stops her from ending it all. Pleading that she help him and his brother so he can leave this plane and enter the next.

Little does char know though, that by helping him, she'll be saving herself in more ways than one.

Omg I was as torn as she was with who she should fall for. On one hand, you have smexy cocky soldier boy Ike and on the other you have his twin brother who might seem lost since he lost his brother but there's a certain strength and confidence to him that's just as sexy.



A lot of laughs were had as I read this because I love Char's curses-worse-than-a-truck-driver-mouth! I have the same affliction, lol! But I also had a lot of moments where I got all weepy eyed because this book MAKES YOU FEEL! She has a way of drawing you into the story, ripping your heart from your chest, but at the same time you're laughing at something funny one of the characters did, and then at the end of the book, you're put back together and happy with all the feels cheesin' like an idiot. At least that's how I was.



I've told this author before that she is a darn good writer, but I swear, her books just get better and better. I'd read the obituary if she wrote it.



I haven't read a lot of books that featured ghosts as the main characters, so this was a nice change for me. I wish I could morph from place to place...or had a super hot spirit following me around as my confidant. * wink wink *
