Nathaniel O’Donnelly likes his life
quiet, his guests happy, and his ghosts well-behaved.
Although a boyfriend wouldn’t go
amiss. Someone to share his beautiful B&B with, even if it is in the middle
of nowhere and he’s long past the wrong side of thirty. Problem is, Nathaniel's
living with a ghost who thinks he’s cupid, and whose arrows fly a little too
straight.
Gabriel Wickfield had the unfortunate
luck of dying before his time, and now he’s stuck trying to make romance happen
to earn his right to move along. Not that he’s bored in the meantime--Nathaniel
is just too easy to tease. And also a little bit scrumptious…
With the curse reaching its expiration
date, Gabriel needs to make a final match this Christmas. Without it, nothing
but darkness awaits.
Love can conquer all, but can it beat
death?
I knew going into this I was going to cry. I knew because 1,
Indra Vaughn prides herself on her ability to master unrequited love. 2, one of
the MC’s is dead. Right from the start, it’s not a spoiler it’s in the blurb. I
was like, “How the heck is this going to be a happily ever after?” I won’t tell
you if it is or isn’t… I will say I hate sad ending and this book I did not
hate… I WON’T TELL YOU… leave me alone!
Nathaniel and Gabriel are splendid. Truly. Two remarkable
men from different times having so much in common. One physically trapped, the
other internally. I love how Indra made the impossible possible. This was a
true tale of love conquering all and warmed my heart and my soul!
Read so you can feel. Because some
books will flay you with words, while others will caress your skin. Some, if
you’re lucky, will do both at the same time.
Read because you have too much on your
plate. Or not enough. Read because you can’t think of anything else to do. Read
because you don’t want to do all the things you should.
Read what you want. Don’t let anyone
tell you any different. Words are words and books are books and what you feel
is real.
Read to remember. Read to forget. Read
because it brings you quiet or because it gives you a voice. Read to revisit
places you’ve already been. Or discover countries you’ve never heard of. Read
because you’re lonely. Read because you need to be alone.
Read because it will make you smarter.
It will teach you compassion and empathy and love. Read because you’re too
smart and you can’t stop thinking. And thinking. And thinking.
If nothing else, read so the poor
authors can keep hurtling themselves into their writing, in the deep of the
night when nothing else can be heard but the sound of their despair tap-tapping
away at the keyboard. In between wiping chocolate-sticky fingers on their
pants, that is—if they’re even wearing any.
Thank you to Indra Vaughn for being here today, sharing her talent with us! Good luck to you all.
I recently read Vespertine and thoroughly enjoyed it. There's some beautiful writing and moments in this story.
ReplyDeleteI've loved all Indra's books I've read. The last one was Vespertine and I loved it to bits
ReplyDeleteI've only read Fated....loved it!
ReplyDeleteI have read Dust of Snow and loved it! Next up is Vespertine.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of her books on the wishlist, but haven't read one yet. Dust of Snow looks great!
ReplyDeleteI have a few on my TBR list, but just haven't gotten around to them yet. For the holiday season, I might move Dust of Snow up to the top.
ReplyDeleteVespertine so far, so looking forward to reading more :)
