Taunting the Ghost: A Spicy MMM Paranormal Romance
“I’ll fill you up, suck you dry, and make you forget you ever wanted anything different.”
Caleb had a secret. The kind that would destroy his tough guy reputation as the enforcer on his college hockey team.
Not that he was gay - that’d be easier to hide. He had a girlfriend, he couldn’t be gay.
No, it was much worse. He was afraid of ghosts.
And now he was trapped in a cabin in the woods. It was haunted. The ghost knew his secret. And strange things kept happening.
Like falling forward and kissing his best friend Isaac. The ghost had pushed him!
And now Isaac wanted to try being filled. They had nothing better to do. It’s not gay if he’s the one doing the filling, right?
Halloween Temptations Multi-Author Series
This Halloween, carve out some time to enjoy some frightfully spicy stories. Don’t be afraid, the forest may be dark, but it’s full of many eerie-sistible monsters. Are they real? Or is it a trick? Our boys will find out - and if they also find love? They’re in for a real treat.

3-⭐
The premise lured me in: two best bros who are into each other but in denial, and a ghost lending a helping hand... and participating, of course. 😅 It was also a funny bit that the MC was terrified of ghosts.
I've read one book by this author before and that was clear porn. This was marketed as a romance and it does seem to have more of a backstory, but it became evident quite fast that the whole thing didn't quite fit in these pages. I loved the idea, but the execution was rushed and lacking.
I also didn't enjoy the (ex-)girlfriends, who were portrayed as annoying hindrances—which is unfortunately common within this genre. The women are not even on-page, but damn these couples did not respect each other.
Still, I enjoyed the story despite the clunky bits, so 3 stars. It is a silly, spooky, and horny Halloween story, although not a great one.

3.5 stars
I was honestly unsure about how to rate this book.
It was a fun story, with a bit predictable plot: two straight best friends (always together, sharing everything, both accused by their girlfriends to be too close, both dumped on Halloween) who have to share a cabin in the middle of the woods during a storm.
The story starts with Caleb walking alone through the woods to join Isaac in the cabin. Caled is terrified by ghosts and he feels relieved when a guy he met the year before, Ryan, walks alongside with him and keeps him company.
Ryan is particularly flirty, but Caleb has a girlfriend and he's also a little bit homophobic (meaning he doesn't want to be addressed as gay).
When they reach the cabin, Ryan leaves and Caleb is finally reunited with Isaac: Caleb is a bit of a himbo, he believes Isaac is his bestie but he still hasn't realised that putting him always in the first place, ever over his own girlfriend, always finding time for him, being happy to be close to him to the point that he decided to move him with Isaac rather than with his woman, all of it means they're in love.
And poor Isaac's attempts to show him that they can be more are not understood by Caleb. Until Ryan intervenes and sets them up for a very intimate encounter.
I liked their unusual threesome and how they were at ease with each other: there was never a moment when Ryan was left behind and his presence actually helped Caleb to feel less intimidated and more open to new feelings.
I also liked very much that they wanted to help Ryan with his issues and welcomed him warmly when he made his decision.
What prevented me from giving a higher rate:
Sometimes the story doesn't make sense: for example it's not clear how the whole thing started, if Caleb and Isaac were in the same car (so why did Isaac go to find a refuge and leave Caleb alone?). The story goes a bit back and forth from what happened the previous year then to the night in question and I often lost the succession of the events.
Moreover, Caleb is intrigued by Isaac's private parts saying that he never looked at him except for the showers after practice; but then he remembers fondly when they used to pleasure themselves sitting side by side, saying that he misses those moments since their girlfriends forbade them to do that (so he did see Isaac nude outside the showers...).
Sadly, the end was also a miss for me: how their three way relationship is supposed to work since Ryan is still who he is? I wish we knew more...

This was ridiculously good! Short, spicy and sweet. I love these kinds of short stories, especially when they involve ghosts.
I loved that Ryan was the one to get Caleb and Isaac to finally acknowledge their attraction. Everyone else could see the chemistry between them but themselves.
It sucked that Ryan was a ghost but even that didn’t stop them from being naughty 🥵 It was so hot to see them together. This was a well spent hour of my life😁😁😁

Just two bros, dumped by their girlfriends, in a haunted cabin in the woods. The ghost that haunts them pushes them to admit their feelings for each other, and have some spicy fun.
This was another fun and quick spicy Halloween read. I didn’t love how the ex girlfriends were terrible plot device characters, but otherwise had a great time. 😂 this series is so easy to read (in a good way!)

This book was a fun and steamy read. It didn't take me long to read. I found the story entertaining. It was an excellent paranormal story about friends turning into lovers. The book is MMM, with two men as best friends and the other being unconventional.

I liked it in theory, but writing-wise didn’t feel the same as the author’s usual work 🤷♀️
wondering if I accidentally was sent a(n earlier) draft version because the formatting didn’t have spaces in between paragraphs, neon errors like words missing or the wrong character’s name used, and some stuff just didn’t make sense (examples included for reference)
yay:
premise is appropriately silly, tonally fits
classic spooky stuff (thunderstorm, cabin in the woods,
characters didn’t do that boring-ass “the bottom/whoever receives anal stimulation is feminine” that pops up in a lot of gay/bi-awakening stories, despite these characters being hockey bros who sometimes acted like their 2nd biggest fear was gayness
“No, Caleb wasn’t talking to himself like a weirdo because he was afraid, fuck you for thinking it.” (made me laugh)
“The next second, there was a pressure at the back of his head, like a hand pushing him forward. Their lips touched.” (ghost literally doing the “now kiss” thing lmao)
“Caleb was caught between a cock and a hard place.” (lol)
boo:
- Caleb realized Ryan is a ghost at the end of chapter 1, but then re-realizes it again later in chapter 6
“Ryan had pulled a prank. Caleb was jumping at ghosts. Literally. He could trust Isaac’s judgement.” (but if he’s “literally” jumping at ghosts then he’s calling Ryan a ghost. even though the sentence right before it Caleb is saying Ryan is only pranking him about being a ghost)
“But how had Ryan know how” (*known)
““Back then I lived the opposite direction from you!” Isaac asked delicately.” (this is neither delicate nor asking)
- Caleb’s girlfriend broke up with him because “she’d found out he was with Isaac.” but how? yeah he didn’t pick her and her bff up for the festival, but Caleb was in too much of a rush to go with Isaac to bother even packing a change of clothes so who did he tell/how did she find out
- [actually it sounded like Isaac and Caleb’s plan was to go the festival but accidentally (wrong turn+storm) ended up at the cabin, except later Isaac says he’d planned to try to help Ryan]
- Caleb accuses Isaac of sneaking the dildo into the bathroom, but doesn’t mention the writing in the mirror at all??
“Your prank,” Caleb said, teeth clenched, waving the dildo at Isaac’s back. “It wasn’t funny.”
“You know what isn’t funny? You bringing a dildo when you forgot to pack your own clothes.”
“Uh- I didn’t bring this.” What the fuck?
“I’m joking,” Isaac said, turning to smile. “You should have seen the look on your face. It was very thoughtful of you.”
Caleb stared at Isaac blankly, the wind completely taken out of his sails. What was going on here? He was so confused.” (I am also confused, it feels like there’s lines missing here—Isaac is joking about Caleb bringing the dildo, but then says it was thoughtful of him to bring it. also how is it thoughtful??)
….”“Bro, it’s fine. I know you’re weird about gay shit like this. You don’t need to use the ghost as an excuse. I appreciate it.”
Isaac didn’t believe him. But was grateful?
“This’ll make staying the night so much more fun,” Isaac said.” (Caleb is a supposed to be a bit oblivious sure but how does he not respond in any way to Isaac saying the dildo will make things more fun?? like did Isaac mean “funny to prank each other with” or “fun to use for its intended purpose”?)
- Isaac seemed to genuinely believe that Caleb had brought the dildo to the cabin and that Caleb was pretending to be pranked by a ghost, but then Isaac knew about Ryan all along and that Caleb was scared of ghosts so it didn’t make sense for him to gaslight Caleb like that
- especially since Caleb said “Better to have Isaac around so he had a witness.” only for Isaac to either not acknowledge the weird stuff happening or tell Caleb to stop pranking himself
“He was in the tough position of refusing to go into a room without Isaac, and not wanting to tell Isaac why he didn’t want to be alone.
Like the fact that the towels had mysteriously disappeared from where he’d last seen them.” (there’s a transition/phrase missing here—what is “like the fact”?)
“Right on cue, the faint hum from the fridge cut out.
“You just had to say that, didn’t you?” Caleb grumbled. It’s like they really were in a horror movie.
He stomped to the wall and flicked the light switch.
Yep.
The power was out.” (why would he need to check the light switch?? they’d know the power was out bc the light would be off)
- it was known as the haunted cabin and it sounded like it was abandoned (after the occupant died 10 years earlier) except there’s running water and power? so it was actually maintained this whole time? did Isaac rent it on airbnb or something?
“He used to ask Caleb to rewind the movie after he woke up.” (they have smartphones but chose to watch p*rn on VHS??)
““He was just here.” Caleb looked around, but there was no sign of him.
Isaac breathed out a long, frustrated sigh. “I forgot you get like this.”” (get like what?? Caleb is truthfully answering the question—the ghost was just there a moment before, and since knows Ryan is a horny ghost who blows guys, Caleb’s answer shouldn’t be a surprise. what exactly is Caleb “getting like”?)
- Caleb’s “I love you, bro” didn’t sound like a confession to me—he was thinking he hadn’t made Isaac feel safe enough to admit he was gay, but there’s no buildup of his feelings about Isaac. I didn’t know it was the love confession until Isaac kissed him and said “I love you too”
“At same time,” (the)
“I’m not tied to this pace anymore.” (place)
“…Caleb said, tentatively opening his arms for Caleb.” (how?)
- missing commas, unnecessary commas, and comma splices
- hyphens instead of em dashes
- dialogue tags capitalized
- capitals after (what is supposed to be) em dashes
- “if was” instead of “if were”
like I know it’s an overall lighthearted story, the errors and confusion kept taking me out of it though
(also I hit my head the other day and may be lightly concussed bc screens/concentrating make my headache and nausea worse (and not in the normal migraine way), so this review took much longer to write than expected and may not make sense at some parts but I did my best).

This book was completely ridiculous and absolutely FUN.
You've got two hidden gay hockey players and a trapped ghost. Yes, the MMM was between two best friends who made gay excuses and a gay ghost. Trapped in a cabin during a bad storm with nothing to do while naked?
But y'all, let's just say that was some hot as fuck scenes. I LOVE these ridiculous concepts that just work on page. A love story with a spooky, spicy twist is EXACTLY what I needed.
And the ending was actually SWEET. Such a quick, fun read!

A Ghostly Experience . . .
Everyone attending the Fall festival, as well as his college hockey team, knew the story that warned: "Don’t get lost in the woods on Halloween or the ghost of Misty Lake will take your soul, trapping you with him forever." Caleb thinks about that as he walked through that forest... but rumors had to start somewhere, right? He got a text from his best friend Isaac telling him to follow the trail up to the haunted cabin to stay dry during the massive thunderstorm. Unfortunately Caleb has a secret he can't mention -- he is afraid of ghosts. So being stuck in this cabin in the woods, he was sure it had to truly be haunted. On the way up the path, a deep voice asked if he needed help carrying the cooler, and Caleb screamed! It turned out to be Ryan. They had met last year at a public pier and chatted for a long time. So they hurried up the path to get out of the rain. Ryan said Isaac was lucky to have such a good boyfriend like Caleb, and he quickly corrected him. Then he recognized this cabin really was the ghost one! But when he turned around, Ryan was gone and only Caleb's own footprints were left in the mud. He yelled in to Isaac that they needed to leave right away! Ryan is actually trying to convince Caleb and Isaac to accept their attraction for each other. Will he convince them? Or will they be scared enough to run away into the storm?

He yelled in to Isaac that they needed to leave right away! Ryan is actually trying to convince Caleb and Isaac to accept their attraction for each other. Will he convince them? Or will they be scared enough to run away into the storm?

This is the first book that I’ve read by Pat Lewis and it won’t be my last. This was a quick, steamy & enjoyable read that I thought was a good start to the multi-authored Halloween Temptation Series. Man, Caleb is completely clueless/in denial about his true feelings about his best friend Isaac. All it takes is them both being dumped by their girlfriends and seeking shelter from the storm in a haunted cabin in the middle of the woods and some spiritual assistance from the cabin’s prior occupant Ryan to bring these two together and to admit their true feelings for each other, and what everyone else has always been able to see. I’m looking forward to reading Riding the Reaper next, as well as more books from Pat Lewis in the future. I’d recommend this novella, series and author the others.

Entertaining story with Isaac and Caleb caught in a haunted cabin before Halloween with a manipulative ghost. Caleb has a fear of ghosts but met ghost Ryan a year ago, not aware he was a ghost. When Ryan materializes, then disappears, Caleb’s brain keeps short circuiting as he tries to process all this out. Then Isaac broaches pegging, a vibrator magically appears, and things get even weirder as Ryan is suddenly there again in a more active role. When Isaac has a confession to share, things become clearer to Caleb and Ryan’s part in it all makes more sense. I would like an epilogue for six months or a year later to see where the two, or three, are now. A little far out there with a bi-awakening but entertaining all the same, a cute short story for spooky season.👻.

Of course Caleb drops everything to help out his friend Isaac who just got dumped by his girlfriend, that is what friends are for isn't it? He is not that amused when he has to walk through the woods from which are told there is a ghost in it. One thing Caleb is afraid of are ghosts.
But after what happens next he changed his mind also about his feelings for Isaac, which develop more and more when they are together in the haunted cabin.
Very funny what the ghost does with them and what he brings to them on the most strange places. But it works.
And at the end Caleb thinks ghosts aren't as bad as he thought they are.

This insanely fun and a bit unhinged story is so much fun to read!
The plot is so original and fresh, funny and the hea caught me by surprise in such a good way.
High spice
It’s Halloween night.
You have two friends, Isaac and Caleb.
They both had girlfriends but were dumped as they put each other first instead of the girlfriends.
Caleb pranks his friend Isaac into going to a cabin in the forest in Halloween night, that happens to be haunted!
Add to the mix a ghost, named Ryan.
It all ends like it is supposed to end - the truth comes out and happily ever after.
Recommended.

This was such a fun, quick Halloween read! I loved the combination of college hockey, a creepy haunted cabin and Caleb’s very unexpected awakening. Caleb and Isaac had great chemistry, and I especially enjoyed watching Caleb try to deny what was becoming increasingly obvious. The ghostly interference added a fun twist, while the romance stayed sweet underneath all the heat. Perfect for a short, spicy paranormal read.

Review of advance copy
This was a fun and fast read!

The three of them get closer as the storm rages, but some strange happenings has Caleb wondering just how real those ghost stories are.
Super spicy + spooky happenings = a great Halloween read!

This is MMM Halloween short read and spicy. It straight to gay read. Caleb had a secret. The kind that would destroy his tough guy reputation as the enforcer on his college hockey team. No, it was much worse. He was afraid of ghosts. And now he was trapped in a cabin in the woods. It was haunted. The ghost knew his secret. And strange things kept happening.

Isaac and Caleb are best friends. Isaac secretly wants Caleb. Caleb doesn’t know that he wants Isaac. Ryan, however, knows and he’s stuck in this cabin to haunt it—so he’s going to have fun with these two guys and get them to admit their feelings.
This was sweet rather than spicy, but it was surely interesting to see what Ryan would do to hopefully be able to move on in the afterlife.

This is an erotic ghost story. Isaac and Caleb are best friends who are afraid to admit it’s more than friendship. They are both stuck in a storm in a haunted cabin when ghost Ryan helps felicitate them into giving each other more. This was a really great read.

A great follow-up to his other paranormal Halloween novella "Necking with a Vampire" , that was part of last year's Halloween Temptation series. This was silly, sweet and thoroughly enjoyable. Taunting the Ghost has excellent open-door spicy scenes and of course a happy ending for everyone!

I mean I’m not sure what I was expecting from this but it was such a great use of ghosts as a romance interest but also as a Halloween story.
I loved how the guys had one of those ahah moments together. It was spicy and short. Perfect read for the evening. I’m so glad everyone got their HEA.

A fun story with a matchmaking ghost, two guys in denial, a girlfriend who maybe saw more than her boyfriend and lots of delicious spice as well. Plus that interesting paranormal twist of how corporeal the ghost really was. Intriguing.
