Beautiful Ghosts
Tyson- After losing my mom as a teenager and witnessing the heartbreak that turned my dad into a ghost of the man he once was, I devoted my life to making sure my brother was taken care of, always placing his needs above my own. I vowed never to cause anyone the kind of pain my father endured. When the new town doctor brings her car into my shop, I’m immediately drawn to her. Giving in to my desires, it’s only a matter of time before my secret comes to light. Now I have to decide if I can truly let her in. Am I willing to risk pain in the future for us to be happy now? Justine- Leaving my cheating boyfriend and moving my entire life across the country was not something I had planned, but when my former college roommate offers me a job with her practice, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to start fresh. I wasn’t expecting to meet Tyson, the mechanic who captivates me from the moment I see him. When I discover he’s hiding something, insecurities from my past begin to haunt me. Can I trust he won’t betray me? Will he be able to let me in so I can love him the way I already do?

About the author
J.J. Grice
20 books478 followersMy name is Jenni and I love to write! For as long as I can remember, I have loved creating my own little world and telling stories. I always find myself growing attached to these fictional characters to the point that they feel like my family.
I’ve been married to my amazing husband for over eight years and we have two gorgeous daughters and one incredibly handsome, rambunctious little boy. I grew up with five brothers and a sister, so quiet has never been anything I’m used to. Though, I really wouldn’t have it any other way.
At the end of a long day, there’s nothing I prefer more than spending time with my family, then ending the evening with a good glass of wine and an even better book.

Another beautiful story from a talented author! Beautiful ghosts is the story of Tyson and Justine, each comes to live in Channing, Maine due to their pasts- Justine wants to get away from her cheating ex and Tyson wants to be sure his younger brother and his family are cared for. They are two lonely souls who find each other and it’s lovely but heart wrenching. I enjoy everything this author writes, I can’t wait for the next!

I loved this one.
I was waiting for Tyson's story and this did not disappoint at all.
Poor Tyson he's kind of a coward in this one to telling people stuff. But he's an amazing uncle and big brother.
Now on to the next book because I must read the next story.

What an amazing book! Justine and Tyson are both going thru so much. Justine has a good job as a doctor but when she finds her cheating boyfriend in the act one day it’s adios. Tyson has a lot going on and has spent lots of years making sure his brother is well taken care of. Justine moves back to Channing where her best friend Ally lives and goes to work with her. Tyson works at Mayhew’s where Justine brings her broken down car. Sparks fly between these two. Of course Justine just broke up with someone and Tyson doesn’t want a relationship. Wait to you see this story play out. I even shed a few tears. Will Justine be able to move on from her cheating ex and will Tyson be able to let her in completely? They have some great times and it’s obvious how everyone sees their great connection. Can Tyson share a secret he’s hiding from Justine? Can Justine completely trust that not every man is like her ex? One thing I learned from this book is life is precious and not all relationships are the same. We have the ability to let someone else in and live a very happy, complete life.

Exceptional book. I am an emotional mess after reading this story. The love and strength is just oh so phenomenal.
After Justine moves into a tiny town after leaving LA she doesnt see herself dating again much less falling head over heels for anyone.
Tyson isn't looking for love he is home to take care of his brother and his family and also deal with his own issues. When the two meet it's like the earth stands still and its inevitable that they are meant to be together. Both try to fight what's building but will they be able to make it work?

Beautiful Ghosts is Book 4 in The Maine Stay Series by JJ Grice but the first book I read in the series. It works as a stand alone, although now I want to go back and read the first 3 books to find out more about those characters!
Justine is a great character. She’s described as having a deep raspy voice and not being a super skinny girl and I loved that Tyson was attracted to those details. She is a doctor who was cheated on by her live in doctor boyfriend and moves to a town where her best friend lives to join her practice.
Tyson is a hot guy with a huge heart that takes care of everyone else. His selflessness almost gets in the way of acting on his feelings for Justine but I love that he just can’t help himself.
Steamy love scenes, strong woman, kindhearted guy, great chemistry and things in their past that help them understand each other. Great formula for a HEA.

*I received the ARC to review for my honest opinion*
MY HEART! The Grey sweatpants!!! 😍 The fact he has no idea what BDE is in grey sweatpants! I love it!! J.j Grice never fails to amaze me with her books. She sucks me right in every time! I never even realize how far I am into the book until it's done. 😂 I love being able to hear about past characters in the new books, and all the friendships blossom. When she told him what she did and he snapped on her I cried. I thought it was over. Then I said no way, kept on trucking along, and when Ross finally got through to his brother I cried happy tears. I love them so much! I can't wait to hear about them in the next book when we read about Magnolias story!

Superb!
Tyson and Justine’s story will melt your heart. Justine catches her boyfriend of six years with another woman. She decides to start over and moves to the same town where her best friend Ally lives.
Tyson has taken care of his brother his entire life and doesn’t know how to move forward when Ross has a family of his own now. He meets Justine when her car breaks down. The attraction is instant for both of them. But can they overcome the ghosts of their past?
JJ Grice writes from the heart on this one!
