Stand-alone, no cheating, no cliffhanger, HEA. CAUTION: This book defines love in the purest of senses. It will fill your heart so full there will be room for nothing else. For that, the author apologizes.
ABBY
Porter Reeves was a real biker. On the day we met, that was all that mattered. It was his ticket into my life. His entry fee. On that day, he took me on a journey. One that would change my life, open my eyes, and fill my heart.
I soon learned that Porter was on a collision course, and that he was unwilling to help himself. I felt that I could provide him with the help he desperately needed, if he would simply subject himself to change.
Coercing an outlaw biker to consider change isn't an easy task.
But.
It's one hell of a fun ride.
GHOST
Abby Northrop came into my life by mistake. A celebrity, philanthropist, and lover of all things life, she was exactly what I didn't need in my life. She was a do-gooder, and I'd never done anything good in my thirty-on years on earth.
Nonetheless, I let her in. Just for one night.
My plan was to screw her and walk away.
It had worked in the past.
Hell, it was all I knew.
After one night, I knew walking away from Abby wasn't going to be easy.
But, I never took the easy way out of anything.

Review to come after I dry my tears...
Wow. Big sigh
Scott Hildreth, you absolutely slayed it with this story.
I am in awe.
I don't know where to begin. I wanted to write a review while I'm still feeling all emotional. Yes, the tears have stopped, but I don't know what to say.
What an experience.
What a remarkable journey for Porter Reeves (Ghost) and Abby Northrop. Did I feel it would end the way it did? Well, I was partly right. But I didn't want to be. That prologue....ok, you get a sense of what is to come. Then once you get into the book you think "please don't let it mean what I think it means..."
But oh man when you realize you're right....you almost are afraid to turn the page.
Gulp.
What an absolutely beautiful love story. It had everything a romance reader is looking for.: An absolutely wonderful heroine in Abby (a famous YouTube star known by practically everyone--except Ghost, of course)--a heroine looking for love.. A hero who has been hurt many times in the past by the early deaths of members of his family--and therefore is afraid to let anyone get too close. A medical diagnosis that force the two to meet. A blossoming friendship. A mutual sexual attraction. Two halves of a whole coming together. Hot sex. Soulmates for life. Great dialogue. A believer and a non believer.
I can't say much more without giving away spoilers. But if I've got you the least bit curious, do yourself a favor and read this gem. You will fall in love with these two, and their good friend George.
And yes, this is technically a MC romance, but if for some reason you're not into that, this will work for you too. Porter is a biker (with a shady past, of course) but there's not a lot of MC stuff in the book. It is part of a series, but it definitely can be read as a stand alone. If you have been reading the series, you will see all the previous characters. They add some flavor to the story but if you haven't met them yet, it's still all good.
Have a box of Kleenex handy, because you will shed some tears. (God, that epilogue...) But I guarantee you by the end of the story those tears will turn from sad tears to happy tears. It had to end that way.
You've just got to BELIEVE.
My favorite couple and read of the year so far.
5+ stars!

First and foremost: If you've never read a book written by SD Hildreth (there are more than forty-five), there are two you should certainly read. This one, and his last release, Lover Come Back.
Hildreth pulls all the stops in the third installment of the Devil’s Disciples series. It can be read as a stand-alone, has no cheating, no cliff hanger, and does have an HEA. It’s (as hard as it is to believe) a tale that has yet to be told. Consuming this book will change your way of looking at conventional love stories for a long, long time.
Now, on to my review.
Abby Northrop loves all of those that will allow her to. She earns ten million a year as a YouTuber, and has 20 million followers. She lives on the beach and often rides a bicycle to her favorite restaurant, which is owned/operated by a salty retired Marine (and father figure) George (a great ancillary character, by the way).
She, despite her good looks and fabulous personality, is single. She has been for six years. Her last relationship of six years was cast to the breeze when she realized she was in it for nothing more than sex.
She’s promised herself that her next relationship will be based on love, and not on sex alone.
When she meets Porter “Ghost” Reeves, she is intrigued by the fact that he’s a ‘real’ biker. She’s even more intrigued by the fact that he’s kind, somewhat shy, and can be in her presence without attempting to get in her pants.
He wants to get in her pants, and his constant struggle with his dick (which appears to have a mind of its own) stands as proof, but he doesn’t want to turn her away by being ‘one of those guys’. For the time being, Porter needs someone on his side that is NOT a biker.
He’s abandoned his biker buddies because he’s going through a touch stretch in life. He’s still in the club, and he’s still very much a part of the MC, but he needs something they simply can’t give
him.
LOVE.
After losing his mother, grandfather, and grandmother, he feels love is something that he can use in his life at this juncture, even if he won’t readily admit it.
They hang out, both suffering tremendous sexual tension is doing so. They go out to eat, drink, hang out some more, and don’t have sex.
Then, one day, they’ve both had enough. Abby decides she needs the dick, and Porter is done saying ‘no’ to himself.
And, so begins a relationship that is a match made in heaven.
Holy fucking shit.
The slow burn. The sex. The angst. The EVERYTHING when it comes to these two characters is OFF
THE CHARTS.
The author’s foreshadowing in this book is remarkable. He leads us down a path, and we somehow
manage to get lost in the belief that we’re headed left, when in fact, we’ve been going right the entire book. We are sure we know what is going on, but we don’t. Not really.
The book progresses (at a great pace, I might add), and then, all of a sudden…
BAM!!
What we’ve expected all along doesn’t happen.
Something else does.
Something earth-shattering.
I can’t give it away, but I will assure you, in the end, several things will happen.
You will cry. You will cry and cry and cry.
BUT.
When it’s all over, you’ll cry tears of joy. You simply have to get through the ugly tears to get to the happy ones.
Porter and Abby get the best of HEAs, but getting to it is a gut-wrenching tale of love, loss, and, ultimately, LOVE.
One of the all-time best love stories I’ve EVER read.
Period.
Five stars for Hildreth’s guts in producing this story, and five stars for one of the best heroines I’ll likely ever read. Goodreads won't allow ten, so five it is. A Must read of 2018 for sure.
I’ll be 60 days recovering from this one, no doubt.

Wow, Jesus! THIS story... I think I'm a bit in shock.
So intense I could hardly read through my tears from, well, about 80% ish.
Honestly, I've both loved and hated it - sort of! Just read it, you'll see what I mean!
My overall Abby, Porter, George, this book, (this series for that matter!) Scott Hildreth rating?!! ...
Ridiculously AWESOME.

I finished this book a few hours ago. It has taken me this long to compose myself enough to write this review. This book gutted me. It was completely not what I expected with a Scott Hildreth book. It was so so so much more. So so so much better. This is Hildreth's best book to date. I loved it. I savoured it. I took my time with it. I let it all sink in. There were times I put this book down because I couldn't face what I knew was going to happen. I welcomed the hurt. I welcomed the love. For me this is a big deal. I am a total wimp. I shy away instantly if something is going to hurt my feelings. This author made all that ok for me. I needed more. I needed to know where this relationship with Ghost and Up Town Abby was going. I wanted it all for them. I was their biggest cheerleader. I needed them to make it. I needed them to have the 2nd thing on the list. What I didn't love was the ending. I hated it. I hated it so much I was ok with it. It made sense. Sometimes the worst has to happen for us to see what is and has always been right in front of us all along. The Lord works in mysterious ways. Sometimes you just have to BELIEVE .

I am not sure what to say, I am filled with so much emotion. Scott was correct when he said this was his best book yet. Ghost is an amazing love story between two people that were truly made for each other. Ghost is a biker who had given up on love until he met Abby. She wasn't like anyone he had ever known but her personality drew him to her. She had a heart made of gold and Ghost needed love in his life. I have experienced so many emotions reading this book and I am crying so hard right now I can hardly see to type this review. Everyone needs to read this book, it is amazing and there are no words that I can think to say that would give it justice. Scott is an amazing and talented author and I hope everyone will read his book.

The above quote is how I am starting my review. I was telling a friend last night that I really hope people understand the beauty of this novel. (Interrruption—while I have your attention go 1-click this book, hurry, I will wait, whistling - I tend to be long winded, and you might forget by the end of this review) Ok, back to review. Ghost by Scott Hildreth was an awesome novel that has brought me to a level of peace that only comes when I embrace the idea that everything in life is a gift.
There is nothing, absolutely nothing about this novel that was expected, every time I thought I had an understanding where the story was going Mr. Hildreth exerted his magic and turned this reader onto a completely different path, a path that produced a level of emotion that I crave when I read.
The novel starts with Abby,
“I ate my pancakes with the grace of a starving dog. The three oversized flapjacks reduced my desire for carbohydrates but did nothing to curb my appetite to see Porter again”. ~Abby This character was truly a wonderful treat to get to meet. I loved her- what’s more I respected her. Abby was not simple, she has layers and all you have to do to discover them is READ. wink
In comes Ghost, he is not as transparent as his name implies. You might think so at first, but as with all Hildreth novels Porter Reeves is a character that has depth and weight, even if he fights the process to discovery.
“I was fascinated with my unquenchable desire to spend time with her. My mother had explained that when I found the love of my life I would know it.” –Porter
This novel allows you discovery a real couple, a couple that does not put on airs or hide things from each other. They are strong because they understand that they must be honest with each other. They have fun and are able to laugh at each other. It was wonderful to watch their love unfold and never die….
“He rolled me onto my back and kissed me. The kiss took my mind where sex simply couldn’t. It was a place where nothing else existed but the two of us. A place where passion thrived. Where hearts faltered. Where a magical sense of belonging to something bigger than life took control of a person’s very being.” ~Abby
We can’t have a Hildreth novel without amazing supporting characters. And this book is filled with some winners. YOU MUST MEET GEORGE!!! OMG, he is not predictable AT ALL!!!!! We also have the wonderful treat of visiting with old friends too…. Can you say the gangs all here.
Ghost is at the top of the list of books that have crawled into my heart and started to move things around, because I needed a change, and FOR ME that is priceless. I can not recommend this book enough, -- if you listen to me at beginning you already have the book on your kindle, so all you need now is to put wash into dryer, grab a cup a coffee, settle into you favorite chair and ENJOY!!!!
That is it that is all I got…

I loved the book. I can't get enough. If I blessed with a new release of Scott's work I know it will be a good day.
Listen, the subject looks grim but It's not grim in the least. The characters learn so much from each other. Abby is exceptional as having survived cancer and continues to work at fulfilling a self compiled "list" of items to experience. Porter "Ghost" has his health in question too. It could be a downer from here on but the two characters are too busy enjoying each other. Scott writes a self imposed "get to know you before sex" sanction and it's purpose is well discussed by both parties as Abby feels not sexy as a result. This inclusion is pure Scott. I'm not sure if it's a life mantra of his but overall sex intimacy does change the dimensions of a relationship and he seems to offer it in this and other books of his to establish true intimacy of getting to know someone first. If she matters then it matters. Afterwards, when there is confirmation on going forward in the relationship then Scott gets the pages on fire with hot scenes.
The humor alone has us falling in love with Abby and Ghost. I highlighted the "three pound dick" quote after I picked myself off the floor. Typical man author given to exaggeration!!! Abby's attempt to either pick up a snake or eat an entire pecan pie were precious. My heart is full of Ghost and uptown Abby. Thanks Scott.
PS. I know my sins are forgiven. The "message" is always worth noting to those we love and the few we don't. At my age it seems days are excellerating in a time dimension I can't slow or stop..but just enjoy.

Over the past four years I've learned that Scott Hildreth is a master at hijacking readers emotions. Each and every book has something different, whether it's heartfelt or much needed revenge, there's always that moment you stop reading, breathe and just imagine what that particular character must be feeling at that pivotal moment.
I've loved so many of the series and individual stories, when one is promised to be the best yet it alway is, so I knew we were in for a ride with Ghost.
Ghost ripped out my soul.
It didn't simply break my heart or make me want to yell at him.
It destroyed me.
And though I ended this book with puffy eyes and tears running down my cheeks I was also smiling. That's the genius of this author. You connect with the characters, you feel for them, with them and generally find yourself wanting just one more chapter of their lives. But not this one. I don't want more, I couldn't possibly have asked for anything more than the end of this story.
It was perfect, it was everything I never knew I wanted in the end.
It was beautiful.
Ghost is sweet and magical, it's a tear jerker and a smile maker. All the goodness wrapped up in one amazing story.

Abby and Ghost's story was filled with humor, honesty, real love, and sadness. I am glad one of my reading buddies suggested this one. I cried, I cried a lot. And that's a reader caveat. There's a plot point here that will annoy many romance readers, but it's not cheating. I can't give the info because it would be a major spoiler.

Dear lord
Why? Why on earth? I usually love these books, but I'm so upset. Some of it was beautiful, the end was in a way, but these books are romances, right? This was wrong. This is not how romances are done. Yes, I love that these books are so unique, but this went too far. I don't know how the series can continue after this. I just don't, and if there are more in the series coming, I'm not sure if I'm gonna read it/them. Reading this was seriously traumatic. I guess I should have made sure to read every little thing in the front of the book and on Amazon, because maybe there's a warning I missed. There should be so many warnings. This wasn't right. I don't know what else to say except that you might not want to read this unless you're ready to be traumatized. And it's very difficult for me to say that because Hildreth is easily one of my top 10 authors. He's honestly a wonderful writer but this time, good lord. I'm crushed. I feel literally crushed. It's horrible.

Porter (Ghost) Reeves had lost everyone he ever loved to Cancer, so it came to no surprise to him when he received his diagnosis. He’d live until he couldn’t anymore. No treatment. But, when his insurance forces him to go to a support meeting in order to cover his medical costs, he’s confronted with hope and sunshine all wrapped up in the form of a woman . . . a survivor. He couldn’t help but be drawn to her.
Abby Northrup, social media celebrity, philanthropist and cancer survivor lives every day to the fullest. She enjoys the little things and has a list of everything she wants to achieve in life. She’s an absolute whirlwind of positivity. When she sees the new guy walk in to her meeting, she can’t help but to reach out. And, from the first moment, she wants more . . . including a ride on the back of his bike.
Together, Abby and Porter take an incredible life journey. For the first time in either of their lives, they find themselves in a real relationship, and both love it and thrive sharing all of their moments together. Can an outlaw biker who has found himself on the wrong side of the law and a do-gooder make it work?
Scott Hildreth truly outdid himself with Ghost. These characters should not work together, yet they fit into each other’s worlds and fill a void for one another they didn’t even know they had. Ghost helps Abby finish off her bucket list and Abby helps Ghost open himself to love and believing there is something more in life.
It’s a beautiful journey. And, as in every Scott Hildreth book, the message is one that will stick with readers. Live every day to it’s fullest. Take time to enjoy the little things in life. Tell those you care about that you love them. And, that love truly is endless and eternal.
Grab your glass of wine, a slice of pecan pie and your box of tissues and take a ride with Ghost and Abby. 5 stars.

She’s an absolute whirlwind of positivity. When she sees the new guy walk in to her meeting, she can’t help but to reach out. And, from the first moment, she wants more . . . including a ride on the back of his bike.
Together, Abby and Porter take an incredible life journey. For the first time in either of their lives, they find themselves in a real relationship, and both love it and thrive sharing all of their moments together. Can an outlaw biker who has found himself on the wrong side of the law and a do-gooder make it work?
Scott Hildreth truly outdid himself with Ghost. These characters should not work together, yet they fit into each other’s worlds and fill a void for one another they didn’t even know they had. Ghost helps Abby finish off her bucket list and Abby helps Ghost open himself to love and believing there is something more in life.
It’s a beautiful journey. And, as in every Scott Hildreth book, the message is one that will stick with readers. Live every day to it’s fullest. Take time to enjoy the little things in life. Tell those you care about that you love them. And, that love truly is endless and eternal.
Grab your glass of wine, a slice of pecan pie and your box of tissues and take a ride with Ghost and Abby. 5 stars.

Right now I am so mad at Scott Hildreth for what happens in this book. Filled with pain, love, hope and inspiration it has left me with a hangover a mile long, a massive lump in my throat and knowing this isn't going to go away any time soon. There are twists to the story some good, some not so much depending on how you think and look at them. I cant say to much as I really want readers to experience this for themselves without spoilers, I would say that compared to other books in this series this one is very different. It is one that if you are a fan or even have never read any of Scott's books before then you need to read this. I was overwhelmed by the end, tormented and really not sure if I was pleased or not with said end. Would I have preferred it to be a different end? well the answer is a resounding yes! would that have made it a better ending? I really don't know, maybe for these particular characters it plays out exactly as it has to. My words cant do the justice this story so deserves, so take a chance and read it for yourself. I certainly wont forget it for quite a while, even put off starting another book to give it time to settle.

Porter and Abby = Awesome Love
I have rarely found myself at a loss of words, but here I am. This book took me for a ride I did not expect. It is rare that you read a book and don't guess the ending before you have read it. That doesn't make a story bad by any means, it's just a rarity. This book Blew my mind, from page 1 till the last line of the Epilogue. Scott Hildreth's writing always seems to do that. He takes me on a ride to destination unknown, because it is truly about the ride, not the destination! This ride includes Love, Laughter, Friendships, Family including the ones we choose. It also made me think, made me hope, made me cry and finally made me BELIEVE. Ghost and Abby 4Eva! A Must Read!!!

Grab your kleenexes and a bottle of wine, settle in, and prepare to feel all the feels. Ghost is a story that will tug at your heart from page one and won't turn loose of it.
Ghost and Abby shouldn't work. They're polar opposites on the outside and soon discover that they're more alike than they think and are a perfect match.
I won't say much about this book because I don't want to give anything away and, truthfully, it's hard to not just gush about how amazing it it. I'll just say that if you aren't reading it now or haven't already read it, you're missing out. And....Believe.

in one word this book was AWESOME! Scott Hildreth has the ability to spin words like few are able to do. This story; however, is unlike any of his other beauties. This story is one of raw gutwrenching emotion. A story that had you emotional from the prologue, yet had you laughing out loud at Abby and silently visioning the turmoil that haunted Ghost. you root for their love. Their chemistry was off the charts. Their fears and coping mechanisms familiar yet new. Grab your Kleenex and a strong drink and just BELIEVE!

Believe and He Will Answer! Just Listen.
This a book 3 of Scott Hildreth's Devil's Disciples (may have spelled it wrong), about Ghost who's the pretty boy who handles fast cars. I don't like spoiling plots by describing them in detail. What I like to tell you is the characters and plot are well developed so that you will feel what they feel and go THERE with them. Just a warning, keep the tissue box close.

Tough Ending
He is one of my favorite authors and I love his book series but this one was tough. I wanted a happy ending for myself and not just a happy ending for them. This was a very different book in comparison to his other books. Your heart will break and then the pain will soften for a couple that you wanted more of. The finality twist your heart for the future series books and the love that could have been.

This book went in a very different direction than I thought it would. I like how the series has become more plot driven vs sex scenes.

Ghost is quite the book. Sure, it's the usual type of biker story from Scott Hildreth, and I do mean that in the very best way since it is what he does best, but what unfolds is clearly something that may not sit well with every reader. For me, I love when an author takes a sharp turn in their story and writes something a bit less conventional. It shows they are willing to step out on a limb just to make their book that much better. And with Ghost, Hildreth does just that and I'm still reeling from it, many hours later.
Like his predecessors before him, 'Ghost' Porter Reeves proves he is like most of the men of the Devil's Disciples: strong, silent type who will defend what they feel is right no matter the consequence. His mellow attitude is a great balance to the fast-talking, extremely lively Abby, the woman who will wake up Ghost's soul like no one before her. Man I really loved their banter. They compliment each other so perfectly and there is that mutual respect I come to expect in this series. Hildreth's men do what's right even so far as to bend the rules and the law to its breaking point and I can't help but admire their drive and their desire to make the world just a little bit better. Even when the world might think otherwise.
What brings Abby and Porter together is a low-simmering part of the story-line that seems to be always hanging over their heads. I'm being purposefully vague on this point since it's key to the direction in which the book eventually goes. Together with our couple, I was taken aback more than once as things don't always go according to plan and their lives bear the brunt of their predestined paths.
There is a subtle if not powerful use of faith and the belief in one God who guides our lives in this and most of the author's work. It's never too preachy or judgmental. On the contrary, I truly like that these fellas and their women might question a greater power but will take the time to see another's POV. Abby's faith together with her feisty spirit is one heady combination. Watching as Porter comes to grips with the fact that after all the loss he had previously experienced, he might just have found the love of his life AND she leads him to a better place with a bit of belief in him, was really beautiful. Proving that it's never too late to believe. I really enjoyed that aspect of the story.
The love story of Abby and Porter is utterly charming. Their love scenes are wickedly hot and yet the tenderness between them is never taken for granted. Their journey towards being together is a quick one but it's like they were meant for each other right from the start. The pace is well-timed and the addition of George, the most loyal friend a girl like Abby could ever have, was the best kind of bonus. He was the oft-times surprising glue to this story and both Porter and Abby were fortunate to have him in their lives.
An unexpected ending, albeit a very satisfying one, will have some scratching their heads a bit. But I liked that it's not your conventional HEA but rather one that gave me pause and allowed me to savor the true beauty in what is surely to be a forever kind of love.
Give this one a go and see for yourself. I love these fellas and look forward to more in the series.
A solid 4 stars!

THIS WAS MY EVERYTHING
While I've been a huge fan forever this book....right here. Has dragged me through the mud. I'm normally the person that as soon as this author drops a book I'm all in and don't come up for air until I'm done. Not with this one. I had to read then stop compose myself then repeat. After almost 24 hours I'm finally able to post my review.
Stock up on Kleenex and alcohol you're going to need it. Porter and Abby will take you on a journey that you're not ready for. The hope, the love, the way they both touch your heart for different reasons. The strength they both show I've never EVER said this before. I'm not sure in my eyes this author will ever be able to out do this book. As I come off a hangover like no other I've ever had from this author. From the bottom of my heart I thank you even though I think you may have broken me a bit with this one.

Ghost.
Ghost is book 3 in the Devil’s Disciples series. This truly is a standalone book. You could read this one and not the others, but it’s a great series either way. All of his books are fantastic.
I am not sure where to begin, I’ve typed a review 4 times now, almost anything I would like to say would give the book away. Just read it. This book will make you look at life differently, I loved everything about it. EVERYTHING even though I ugly cried for 30 minutes after I finished.
I have read romantic fiction all of my adult life Nora Roberts has never written a book I have not read (including her Harlequin) up until today she was by far my favorite author. Scott just jumped all the way to the top and knocked her to second place. His writing has evolved from book one to today, he’s not afraid to take chances. Plus Scott and Jessica are awesome to all of us crazy stalker fans. They let us into their real lives often. I pray he’s has at least a 1000 more characters trying to get out of his head.
I can’t say anything about this book other than.. read it at home.. alone.. and keep Kleenex handy!

The Power of Love
Wow. Just wow. I finished reading this and just sat here for several minutes trying to process and figure out how to review this in a way that relays how absolutely awesome this book is (yes, awesome, one of my all time favorite words, the height of how amazing something is, and as it turns out, Abby in Ghost feels the same way about the word awesome) without giving any spoilers.
This book really hit me. We’re talking all the feels people. Every. Single. One. There were parts of both Abby and Porter I related to and connected with. Deeply. I fell in love with both of them because of this and because of what genuinely wonderful people they are. They epitomize the kind of love we all hope to find for ourselves one day. The strength and power of their love truly surpasses all.
This is a book that I’ll be purchasing in paperback as well and has earned a spot on my treasured books shelf. It’s a book you just want to give a hug.
In closing, I feel the need to reiterate. Wow. Just wow.

Unlike any other Hildreth book 👍🏻
I had no idea what I was getting into when I started reading Ghost. Being a rabid fan of Scott’s prior work, I thought I knew what to expect. Bikers, sex, outlaws, witty banter, humor, hotter sex, life lessons, etc. Well, Scott delivered all of that. In spades. What I wasn’t expecting was the giant curve ball he delivered at the end. Holy cow was that something new!
It is difficult to express just how much I enjoyed Ghost. Despite my love for the Devil’s Disciples, one character in particular took the spotlight for me. George was my overall favorite character in this book. I could just picture him in this book and I LOVED him the second he made his appearance and helped Abby.
Ghost made me laugh, many times out loud, sigh, and even cry. It is another great book by Scott Hildreth. I highly recommend Ghost!

Heartbreakingly beautiful.
This is one of those stories that makes your gut clench and your heart skip a beat at the very beginning and it doesn't stop until the very last page. Even then you are left marinating in all the feelings that Ghost and Abby bring forth. Its a book that makes you question your beliefs and the way you live your life.
This is a bittersweet story. To be honest it is one of those stories that I usually try to avoid because they tend to alter my mood for days and make me mopey and morose. I know this author though and I trusted that he would be able to balance the heavy with his signature humor and outrageous personality. I was right. Even though this was a pretty heavy story, I am happy to have read it.
I am not going to give a summary because I don't want to give anything away but I will say that you should grab a box of tissues and read this book!

Grab your tissues! This is a must read love story.
Scott has a way of grabbing your attention from the first line to the end with his books and this one is no different. Be prepared to read a beautiful love story, get all involved in the twists and turns and leave with an ending so unexpected. My advice, don't peek, the story wouldn't read the same, you have to experience it! You'll laugh, you'll cry but you'll leave believing! This is one of those books that you can't describe, you have to experience it, the ride to the destination is such a heartwarming love story and an example to live every day like it's your last because we only have today, tomorrow is not a promise and anything can happen.

As always....
Never doubt Scott to write a book that we all would love.
But to write one with the ending like this....who does that? Scott!
I will say this..I loved Abby. She was out spoken and peppy. She had confidence that she didn't realize she had. She believed in life.
If you haven't read this you are missing out. Yes I am not saying much about Ghost. This is not your typical Biker story. It's about, living, believing and love. The heart break...
Damn you Scott!
That's all I got! Till the next one

O.M.G.!!! Ghost put me into an emotional tailspin! This was a magnificently written story of love at its purest, without apology, without lies and deceit. Porter and Abby's story was so poignantly sweet and sorrowful, yet so masterfully uplifting. It grabbed hold of my heart and never let go from the very first page. George was a truly amazing friend and father figure, and I respected the hell out of the way Abby and Porter lived life with no regrets. This book hit all the big feels for me. It resonated, it taught, it reminded us of who we are and why we're here. I absolutely loved it!

You will fall in love with Ghost!
This book had it all, smoking hot biker with a sensitive side. Cute daddy girl with a tough side. Abby and Ghost were destined to fall for each other. Their love is one that will be everlasting!! This book will suck you in from beginning to end. Loved it
