Summary

Scotland, 1928.

Dr. Ainsley Graham is cultivating a reputation as an eccentric. Two years ago, he catastrophically ended his academic career by publicly claiming to talk to ghosts. When Joachim Cockburn, a WWI veteran studying the power of delusional thinking, arrives at his door, Ainsley quickly catalogs him as yet another tiresome Englishman determined to mock his life's work.

But Joachim is tenacious and openhearted, and Ainsley's intrigued despite himself. He agrees to motor his handsome new friend around to Scotland's most unmistakable hauntings. If he can convince Joachim, Ainsley might be able to win back his good name and then some. He knows he's not crazy - he just needs someone else to know it, too.

Joachim is one thesis away from realizing his dream of becoming a psychology professor, and he's not going to let anyone stop him, not even an enchanting ginger with a penchant for tartan and lewd jokes. But as the two travel across Scotland's lovely - and definitely haunted - landscape, Joachim's resolve starts to melt. And he's beginning to think that an empty teaching post without the charming Dr. Graham would make a very poor consolation prize indeed....

Contains mature themes.

Too many names

There are way too many character names going on in this book. Three names at least for Ainsley Graham, also referred to as ‘the ginger’ during spicy scenes, which is hardly sexy. I’m wondering who is being addressed at all times, thinking someone new just jumped into bed with the two characters. This is an audiobook so there’s no way to tell who’s speaking at any given moment, but that’s not the only confusing aspect. It’s like the writer expects us to be inside her head because half the time I don’t know what is going on in the story when, for example, they go to a card reading and they are talking about so many other characters with nicknames and titles, plus ghosts talking in Ainsley’s mind. I couldn’t get through the book. Though the sex scenes peppered throughout what I did read were very steamy. Shame about the rest.
