Lake Shangri-La is set in a Colorado valley so hauntingly beautiful that it defies description. Many have tried, and one word keeps popping up over the magic. “Magic” is just what Leela Sheridan needs when she is offered the job of bookkeeper at her uncle’s guest ranch. Feeling fragile after a painful divorce, she hopes the serene mountain valley will allow her to find a new life. What she doesn’t expect to find is love.
Ian McCullough, a handsome and mysterious man, is unlike any other she has ever met. What’s more, from the moment she sees him, there is something hauntingly familiar about him. She feels as though she has known him before, but where—and when?
When she learns that Ian is actually a ghost from the old abandoned mining town, Leela is stunned. He tells her that she is his lost love, a woman who died mysteriously more than a century earlier—and her life begins to spin out of control. In her idyllic mountain paradise, the horrors of the past, the confusion of the present, and the promise of love reunited across the years await those brave enough to believe.
I really liked this book. It's a first by a new Colorado author. I'd say the genre is romance or mystery/romance. I don't have that bookshelf. This book takes places in Colorado and I could imagine what it looked like while reading the book. No problem with that any way as it's very descriptive. It held my interest and has a fun twist to it. Falling in love with a ghost. I enjoyed the characters and will look forward to seeing what happens to them in the next book. This is a first in a trilogy and I plan on getting the next one as soon as it's available.
This book was so easy to get into and it kept me coming back. Looking forward to the next in the series! The characters are developed very well and the descriptions of Colorado are right on.
