About this book

Brandon Havili is just looking for a straightforward internship with the FBI, shadowing his brother and his brother’s psychic anchor. It was supposed to be three weeks of professional observation, but fate has a much spookier itinerary in mind. After accidentally picking up a ghostly hitchhiker, Brandon finds himself dragged into a supernatural detour that is anything but routine.

The journey leads the group to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, where they cross paths with Mackenzie Lafayette, a medium who is as intriguing as he is unexpected. While the mission is to purge the persistent spirit, Brandon finds his attention shifting from ghost-busting to something far more captivating. Suddenly, the plan to return to Nashville is put on hold as Brandon realizes that navigating the afterlife is much easier than figuring out the man who can talk to it.

This paranormal romance is a delightful blend of holiday spirit and spectral mystery. Packed with the protective charm of the Havili family and a refreshing lack of angst, it is the perfect comfort read for anyone craving a lighthearted, spicy ghost story. If you love witty banter, healthy relationships, and a touch of the supernatural, get ready to fall for this enchanting series opener.

Brandon and Mack's first book is fun, cute, sweet, and a little spicy. No angst, all the over protective Havilli vibes, and a wonderful start to this series. )

I really enjoy the characters this author creates. I have read everything available by her on Amazon at this point and eagerly await any new releases. So why not 5 stars? I am starting to notice an unfortunate pattern of there not being enough conflict in these stories. A happy group of good people meet other good people and live happily ever after. Hmm. Fun in real life but not quite as interesting in a novel. If you like her writing, try some of the other series. The same thing is happening...

Such a fun read

A short side story in the Jon & Donovan arc. This was a nice light ghost story with a new cute romance. No angst. i enjoyed seeing Jon from the outside, and seeing a different Hawaii personality. One of the Main characters has severe allergies Other Content information: • Family dynamics; some sweet, some difficult • Descriptive MM sex • Ghosts and ghost hunting )

Great start to a new spinoff series!

Now that Jon & Donovan’s relationship is so solid, it’s time for us to meet Donovan’s brother. Last we heard, he had accepted a job with the FBI, and now he’s a probie training to be an anchor. Those Havili’s seem to be built to be anchors, don’t they? Brandon is a delight, and his love of all things spooky is such a fun contrast to Donovan’s fear of all things horror. Mack the medium is wonderfully sweet and so deserving of the love & care a Havili like Brandon can provide. This is just a...

very enjoyable
