Driven by Desire
International Bestselling Author Rita Delude
Ashley Gage sells out her half of G & J’s Renovations business to her partner, Rex Johnson, and leaves town after an ugly breakup with her husband of six years, who cheated on her.
She settles in the town of Nashua, New Hampshire and purchases an old Victorian house that needs lots of elbow grease, tender loving care, and talent to bring it back to the splendor of its past. She’s driven to succeed in everything she does, and she knows what this house needs and can do it herself. Just before she signs the deed on the bottom line, the realtor says, “I am legally obligated to tell you that someone died in the house.”
Ashley laughs and signs for the dream house she’s always wanted. Will it become her nightmare or her wish come true?

I always love Delude's stories. She is super talented and can write in a variety of genres.
The beginning of this book set an interesting scene and by the end of the first chapter, I was very intrigued by many of the details. I could see the writing on the wall, but was very curious about how it would all fall into place and what Ashley would do afterwards. When the bottom dropped out, it dropped out big and I couldn't wait to see what would happen next.
The end of Chapter 8 added yet another interesting element to the story. I loved the depth and varied direction of this one. Things got even more twisted and intense from there and it was impossible to put this one down until I knew how everything would turn out. Driven really showcased Delude's talent as a storyteller. I loved this one!

I received an ARC copy of Driven by Desire by Rita Delude that's in the Possessed by Passion collection. I have enjoyed previous stories by this author from the escape series she worked in so I eagerly accepted the chance to read her ghost story! I love paranormal stories. I relate heavily to home restoration and the struggles lol.
This wasn't a typical paranormal story for me, but it has a little bit of everything including some heartbreak, intensity, some suspense, and twists with turns! To look into solving such an old mystery is both intriguing and daunting to think about, but the story flows so well and the story seals the deal for Rita as a top author in my book.

I received an ARC copy of Driven by Desire by Rita Delude that's in the Possessed by Passion collection. It's an awesome story about a home restoration contractor, the ghost who haunts her home, and a 100-year-old murder mystery. I've ordered this set and can't read the other stories, especially if they are great like Driven by Desire.
