A Clean & Sweet Regency Historical Romance Novel

The mystery behind a ghost story could be the answer to the mystery of their love...

You are warmly invited to an amazing story of romance and mystery… Three years ago, Emma Erickson, used to live with her mother in Dale Dyke Dam in Sheffield but after her mother's death from a destructive flood, she had to move with her grandparents to London.

She was of marriageable age and her grandparents thought she would agree to matchmake with Joel Taylor. Actually, she didn’t. She only cared to write and read stories about ghosts. But when she paid a visit to the Taylors family she unexpectedly found the younger brother, Timothy.

After all, Joel didn’t like the weird lady his mother found for him and he was determined they wouldn’t end up together. When she challenged him to pay a visit to a haunted house he found that she may be the only one who could understand him the most. Could it be true that they were meant to find each other for a reason?

*If you like engaging characters, heart-wrenching twists and turns, and lots of romance, then you’ll love “Love behind a Ghost Story”!

How did people keep up contact without iPhones and the internet.

While reading this story I found the timing for notes and letters written were received very fast some times as soon as the next morning and the distance between homes was a two hour carriage ride. So that was a little unnerving to hope a note would reach someone on time. Other than that the friendship to love story was lovely and loving.
This was a good read with very little spooky 👻 ghost stories but there was a little ghostly interaction. Well done.

A Lovely Story

This is a very good story about a young woman that is a writer and her grandmother makes arrangements for her to marry but jt goes wrong because at first he does not believe in the supernatural but there is a twist and it is revealed to them both The characters are strong and realistic The extended epilogue completes the story with love and happiness and success A well written and enjoyable story

Love Behind a Ghost Story

Love behind a Ghost Story is a sweet and clean regency romance that incorporates ghost stories and ticked my fancy with several brushes with the supernatural. Emma is a published author who considers marriage a low priority. However, her grandmother is determined to help her find a suitable husband. Joel is drawn to Emma, but conflicted. Their rule-breaking courtship certainly has its share of ups and downs.

This I did not finish - DNF. |For me the writer failed to set the period, and create a believable world. I really felt she needed to do some historical research about the social realities of the period the book is supposedly set in. As well some geography. The characters blah! What I did like was she chose not to write about titled people.

Simply charming

I loved the characters each one was interesting and played a strong role in the story. I wished that the distance between the two families was not so far. I guess I feel this way because I am a grandmother with bad knees. I was most pleased that there was no description of intimate matters. I would enjoy reading more books from this writer.

Great Romance

I over the supernatural mixed in with the romance. also I really liked that she brought in human nature's tendency to doubt the others feelings. Plus the little surprise of the connection between the ghostly dreams and the couples life. I truly enjoyed this book.

A good book. Even though I was given a copy of this book by the author, it in no way influenced my opinion and this is my honest review.

Ghostly romance

Very nice to have two people to love each other and help each other find their past. There are twists and turns in a bit of costly suspense
