The Haunting of Amelia Pritchart
Amelia Pritchart’s life is a mess. Her house is crumbling down around her, she’s got a bad case of writer’s block, and divorce papers await her signature. The trouble is, she still loves her husband.
And if that’s not bad enough, she comes face to face with a ghost—who has problems of her own. The restless spirit demands Amelia help her tormented soul so she can finally rest in peace. Intrigued, Amelia sets out to grant the wish, but soon finds there’s much more to the ghost than just being dead.
When her estranged husband shows up on her doorstep on Halloween, Amelia must face two pasts, both full of pain. Can she help the ghost without becoming eternally haunted? And can she face her own fears and insecurities about her marriage in order to grasp the second chance at happiness her husband offers?

Very well written. A ghost story (romance) with both that and the modern day (romance) of the H/h intertwined.

Unique, whimsical story.
Jonathan is a strong character who knows his wants and knows Amelia better than she realizes. Amelia encounters a ghost, Elizabeth, who knew what she wanted, but didn’t get it due to the war and Spanish influenza. The reader is treated to a story from the early 1900s as well as a contemporary tale. Elizabeth has some unfinished business she must address before being able to cross to the other side. Amelia also has unresolved issues that will determine whether or not she will return to Jonathan. The house is a nice setting for this account of love across the ages. A wonderfully unique story that will satisfy all readers of the romance genre.

Good
Fast pace in short side in pages. A romance author in process of divorce moves into her family home. Upon being haunted by an ancestor for help so she can rest. Turns out her soon be ex husband is a descendant of her ancestors love. With a little help and hope maybe two lives can be saved and reunited.

As far as paranormal romance goes, this is possibly one of the sweetest tales I've read this year (not that the year has been long but I'm sort of including last year's reads).
This is not my chosen genre but I do occasionally dip into titles across the borders, so to speak, and this one impressed me.
Sandra is a good story-teller who is able to bring across lovely dialogue between characters. The only part of the novel that annoyed me somewhat was Amelia's stubborn denial of her feelings toward her husband, which stretched my suspension of disbelief a bit but otherwise, this was a quick, entertaining read that I'll definitely remember to mention.
And I'll definitely read some of Sandra's other works, should I encounter them.
