Abandoned

by Lis'Anne Harris

Isabella feels as empty and forlorn as the buildings she restores. The last living member of the Warren family, she desperately seeks the historic mansion in a sketch found in her granddad’s attic. After a long painful year of mourning his loss due to her negligence, she finally finds the derelict home of her ancestors in the Berkshires of Massachusetts and wins it at auction. With the vast resources of her renovation business, she sets out to save the haunted, decrepit Chatham Hall. Isabella hopes to find a measure of peace by owning a part of the family history her grandfather desperately wanted to discover, but angry spirits seem to have other ideas. Jack, the owner of a small historic rehabilitation company, has been waiting his whole life to buy Chatham Hall. He’s determined to save the house he believes saved him. To survive a childhood of abuse from his father, he made the derelict building his refuge. Dark anger haunts him day and night as he tries to find a new way forward after losing the house to the bossy Isabella Warren. Jack and Isabella put away their instant dislike and distrust to uncover the heinous crimes committed by the evil spirit haunting Chatham Hall. They are drawn closer as they peel back their shared history - until the horrifying truth threatens to tear apart the love and solace they’ve found in each other.

Reviews

[Lezlie The Nerdy Narrative · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a perfect book to pick up at this time of crisis. If you have ever turned on HGTV, you know that you run the risk of losing several hours of your life before you even know it because it’s so addicting. So in this book: you have a sweet love story, a joint renovation of a historic mansion with a couple of ghosts thrown in to really spice up the suspense.

Perfect read to lose yourself in and take your mind off things if the need arises. I found the main character, Isabella, extremely relatable and I identified with her in so many ways. It’s nice to have a female character who finds herself alone more often than not due to a strong personality....but it’s all worth it once you find the right one to compliment those traits.

I was recommending this books to friends and strangers looking for paranormal romance recommendations before I even finished this book!

This one was great! It is like watching Fixer Upper or those DYI show... but with a ghost.
