Divertente, sì, ma un po' troppo frettoloso e assurdo. Di questa autrice mi sono piaciuti molto i due libri della serie Walker Brothers, più lunghi e complessi, pur restando nel contemporary romance.

Trick Me Treat Me was a cute Halloween-y book! It has a mixture of suspense and romance which is always fun! Gwen is an innkeeper just getting ready to turn in for the night when a handsome mysterious man arrives at her Inn claiming to be a secret agent. Jared is playing a game, per the Halloween invitation for her cousins party which was LAST year, unbeknownst to him! Oh my gosh, the mixups were funny and the romance very steamy. There was ghosts, and a sharp witted Aunt Hildy as well, all adding to the charm of the story at this gangster themed bed and breakfast Inn. Happy Reading!

Some of the events in this book are pretty ridiculous, such as , but Jared and Gwen are cute together and her aunt is a riot. may have come out of nowhere, but I really liked it.

Okay! so why I read this, again???? Urrgh! I have no idea. The story line is stupid. Wait i am not against the ghost in love stories but seriously!!!
The hero heroine were idiots, completely. It was a complete waste of time. i even have to skip pages after pages when it get too boring and i am not that kind to skip a word in a book even if i don't like it much.

So I gave this book five stars because it's going in my keep pile. Most books I read once then I'm done with it but there are some that I love enough to keep because I know I'll want to go back and re-read them, well this is one of them. The characters were fun and quirky, the romance and plot held my attention, all and all this is just a great little Halloween read.

This story had some really funny lines in it, which I am a sucker for humor. Really would like to give it 4 & 1/2 stars.

Avevo quasi bisogno di leggere un libro così. Leggero, veloce, divertente, romantico, un po' di eros quanto basta, con figure buone e anche fuori dalle righe, un pizzico di fantasy e chiaramente con finale di vissero felici e contenti.
L'ho apprezzato perché mi ha messo di buon umore e mi ha fatto dimenticare altre storie che avevo trovato noiose. Tutto si svolge durante un week end di Halloween, ecco perché è gradevole incontrare un paio di fantasmi che con una delle protagoniste mettono lo zampino per far incontrare i due principali personaggi. La storia nasce da un equivoco e questo comporta una serie di altri malintesi che ti fanno sorridere e che ti accompagnano fino alla fine.
Consiglio di leggere questo racconto lungo, proprio se si ha bisogno di rilassarsi o per svuotare la mente per iniziare un libro impegnativo.
Questa mia considerazione, però, non va intesa come definizione di libro di poco conto, perché l'autrice, con la sua fantasia, si è impegnata e, nel mio caso, è riuscita a farmi trascorrere del tempo in modo molto piacevole. In fin dei conti non si può soltanto leggere qualcosa di profondo, ogni tanto bisogna sorridere e il sorriso in questo contesto sorge spontaneo e fa bene anche alla mente.
