Connor isn't too thrilled to find a McKinnon traipsing on his territory, and Victoria is startled to discover that her play will star real (but not real) ghosts. To make peace, Victoria promises that if Connor leaves her actors alone, he may haunt her for a month. Instead, they both find themselves wanting to stay together for a bigger reason than the truce.
Victoria and Connor find themselves in a bind -- she's alive, while he's about 800 years old. The two must figure out a way to live together or not live. Thanks to Granny McKinnon, a solution is developed, but the only way to succeed is for Victoria to travel to another time and dangerous place to capture her love's heart again.
This is a touching love story with a lot of humor and sparkling characters. The family is hilarious, and there's much to say about a man who wields a sword. I loved the idea of a ghostly romance and Ms. Kurland captured my heart with the fairy tale ending. Everything is necessary to the plot, but the book is unusually long. I can't wait to read more of Kurland's books to see the mischief that the matchmaking ghosts have in store for Victoria's siblings.
Book Summary
When Victoria McKinnon's brother offers to finance her production of Hamlet, she leaps at the chance. She can't imagine anything better than staging Shakespeare's masterpiece in an honest-to-goodness English castle. There's just one problem: the place is haunted by a grumpy, gorgeous Highland warrior who's furious that anyone dares to invade his home.
Connor MacDougal has no intention of relinquishing his authority over Thorpewold castle to anyone, let alone a McKinnon. But when he catches a glimpse of the beautiful intruder, suddenly he can't help but wonder why it's taken eight hundred years into his afterlife to find the love of a lifetime . . .
