A descendant of the Cherokee nation, Michelle carries the white buffalo totem, The Keeper of Souls, and works as a 911 dispatcher, using her gifts to help others. But nothing could prepare her for meeting the ghost of Utah Baines. He’s gorgeous, intriguing, and definitely not alive. Michelle can’t help but want him, even though her heart knows it could never be. When fate throws Utah and Michelle together to save a young girl’s life, they form a bond that just might prove stronger than death

Michelle Collins, a 911 operator hears a call come through of a small child trapped in a house on fire. The caller is not really speaking very loudly and Michelle can barely hear him but craziest of all there is no log of the call or is it on the computer. It just seems that Michelle is actually talking to herself even though there is proof when the police and firefighters find the child. Michelle can’t figure out who it is that called and why it keeps bothering her. When Michelle meets Utah Baines there just isn’t something right about him? How can no one else see him but her and how is he able to disappear into thin air. Utah tells Michelle he is a troubled ghost that constantly hears screams but when Michelle is around they stop. Of course things keep happening major tragedies surround them, fires never seem to stop and lastly people disappear. Utah and Michelle band together to stop all the bad things that continue in their world by risking themselves for the greatest thing of all-love between a human and a ghost if that is even possible.
This might be the third book in the Scruples series but luckily this book can standalone from the others. Sure you just might want to read the others to understand the side characters but it isn’t really necessary. The story resonates with poignancy, and sadness; yes there is much death in it but also because of who Utah is but being who he is doesn’t make it seem unreal. Of course the love scenes seem a little bit creepy especially when imagining them but still you can sense the strong love he has for Michelle. You can’t help but feel for Utah wishing he could join the living again or Michelle would become a ghost just so they can be together. Still it isn’t hard not to fall for Utah despite being a ghost plus he isn’t icky looking but hot as hell! Michelle is also a great heroine she’s strong and does one of the hardest jobs in real life so that is pretty admirable too. Yes her reaction to all the paranormal creatures that surround her also are pretty spot on. Come one who wouldn’t act the same way as her pretty much everyone would. The author is able to write a nice unique happily ever after which will make anyone believe in life after death!

Ghostly love
If you love paranormal love stories, this is a must read. It includes a little of each. I especially loved the connection between Utah and Michelle. They also have a steamy chemistry.

Why would I EVER doubt her? I LOVE this series! I have to admit I'm not a big "spirit/ghost" person when it comes to reading and movies. But Ditter Kellen can win over even the most difficult of cases (which is not necessarily me)!
What would you do if as a 911 dispatcher you took a mysterious call and when you hung up there wasn't a trace of it? Michelle Collins experiences this not once but twice. She's tried to ignore the mysterious events that have peppered her past and the fact that she seems to be a ghost magnet.
Utah Baines is tortured. He's Alone, Painfully confused and bombarded with torturous pain and visions. Oh and he's also a ghost! Pulled to locations while weakened and overwhelmed with pain that he can't stop until he saves the person whom he is drawn to. For three years he's roamed the earth unseen with no one to talk to or care for. Until Michelle!
She can hear him; she can see him; she calms him; she makes all the pain go away. As the story unfolds the feelings between Michelle and Utah grow but what future is there for a ghost and human?
This is an amazing story with cameos from the characters in the prior stories (although you don't have to have read them for it to makes sense).
Passion, trust, intrigue all bring this story to a roaring climax that just like Utah, you won't see coming.

Fully Engulfed.
Before reading this book I recommend reading the first 2 books of the Scruples Series they all are awesome from beginning to end. I gave it a 5 point star because these books keep me Engulfed, lol, from beginning to the end. I hope and pray there will be more to this series and soon. I recommended this book to my family and friends. Utah Baines and Michelle are the perfect couple and Michelle, a.k.a. Cherokee, has the most awesomeness friends. Read it you will enjoy.

📖📖📖 5 STAR REVIEW 📖📖📖
A perfect mix of suspense, paranormal, love, and two characters that will leave you forgetting is a fictional story.
Once again Ditter Kellen delivers another amazing story between Utah Baines and Michelle Collins. Their story is not your typical love story there is so much more to learn about Utah and Michelle.
This is the another great book to add to your favorite books from an incredible author that Ditter Kellen is. You don't want to miss this and all other books from her.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Wooooow! ❤ ❤ ❤
This book was amazing! ❤ I loved that the characters from the previous books were included in this book! Michelle is an emergency dispatcher and Utah is a very sexy tortured ghost. I've loved all the books in this series but this one is the best! I absolutely never saw the end coming. Jaw dropping, heartpunding, this book will wrench every emotion out of you.

Sexy Firefighter Ghost loves Sexy 911 Operator
To read this book you should really read the first two books in the series. This book answers some things that happen in the second book. The ghostly Utah and the beautiful Michelle develop a relationship when working together to solve a mystery. There is a evil rat bastard. I loved how the book ended. I don't recommend this book for the under 18 crowd.

Michelle and Utah💜
Fully Engulfed has been by far one of my favorites. Michelle and Utah relationship is not normal at all. I wish I could go I go into detail but I wouldn't want to spoil it. Let's just state that Ditter is brilliant and only she can turn this kind of a story into an epic love story! I want more of this series!🙌🏼😁

I'm not big on ghost romance but this is a whole different thing and I loved it! Once again this author put her unique imagination to work and created a story I couldn't put down until it was finished! Fully Engulfed will make you want to be haunted.
