Jody Calhoun and Chase Spence were at odds even before they met. She was an antiques lover who wanted to restore the Victorian mansion known as Spence House to its former glory. He was a wealthy developer who was about to tear it down. But when Jody put herself in front of the wrecking ball, she never dreamed she'd be sent back in time, on a mission to right a wrong for a restless ghost--or that the infuriating Chase would soon be right by her side.

I love time-travel stories, but this one wasn't up to snuff. The first major problem is that you have to read over 1/3 of the book before the time-travel part of it even happens. I mean, that's what I want to read the story for. I shouldn't have to slog through 100 pages of silly bickering to get there.
That was my other major complaint. I felt that the conflict between the hero and heroine was a little weak. Jody had gotten fixated on his ancestral home, and wanted to save it no matter what. After a while, she started to sound like a whining child. I mean, come on, that is not your house! You have no say in what Chase, who is the OWNER, does with it! Just because you have some weird disordered attachment to it doesn't mean you have the right to keep pestering the guy.
Another complaint was that Jody and Chase were not well-rounded characters. They were just there, like a pair of cardboard cutouts. This was especially the case with Chase's character. I couldn't see any reason why Jody should fall in love with Chase, apart from the fact that he was gorgeous. Yeah, as if good looks are enough. I also couldn't really see why Chase should fall in love with Jody, since she came across as a spoiled brat. Maybe she improved by the end of the book, but to tell you the truth, I couldn't make it that far.
