This reads like the Aisling Grey series from Katie MacAlister but not nearly as well-written. I find myself irritated at Gabrielle's stupidity and blatant disregard for the gravity of the guardianship. She just stumbles along without learning the how's and why's of the guardianship and basically ignoring the consequences. Her estranged father (who is a ghost) keeps attempting to help her but she pushes him away and refuses to listen to his advise. The only bright spot in this novel is Rhys Llewellyn, a rival guardian with a sexy accent and 007 manners. Unfortunately, even Rhys couldn't keep my attention on this story. I am definitely not interested in the sequel to this one.

Quite good. I saw the ending coming a mile away, but I still enjoyed the story getting there. If you enjoy romance with just a trace of paranormal, this isn't a bad book. I definitely developed an interest in the characters and their story. I'll be looking into getting the sequel as well.

I found this book very boring. Most of the book was the girl having conversations with her ghost father.

I was actually quite surprised I enjoyed this book because Gabe was not the smartest person in the world. She was down right juvenille when it came to the guardianship but somehow I found her intriguing and wanting good things to happen to her.

There were a lot of interesting side characters as well. There was a bit of French coversation which Perry doesn't translate but you can catch the gist of it.

Some of the scenes were super cheesy and the romance / steamy sex scenes factors were a little low. The end and resolution between Gabe and Rhys came a little fast, not enough showing but more on telling you what happened. I'm not sure if this is Perry's first book but the writing did seem a little green.

It was a fun read all the same. I will definitely check out the other books in the series.
