About this book

Sadie didn’t believe in ghosts, until she became one.

When pragmatic physician and budding researcher, Sadie Crawford, goes for a hike, she didn’t imagine she would die on the trail. She definitely didn’t imagine she would become a ghost. Rather than idly lingering on Earth, she focuses on finding her killer.

Uncovering the truth means asking for help from her psychic ex-boyfriend—the one she dumped because she hadn’t believed in his supernatural abilities. Recruiting Asher Brenner plunges him into danger as Sadie's search for answers becomes a race to stop a killer.

Will they find the murderer before another victim falls?

If you love sweet romance with a splash of adventure and magic, this is the series for you.

From award-winning author CB Samet comes a delightful series of stand-alone novellas rich with romantic suspense, a touch of the supernatural, and heart-warming happily-ever-afters. The Romancing the Spirit Series are clean romance tales that can be enjoyed in any order.

"CB Samet has remarkable characters with appealing candor, compassion, and humor. The story-line is moving and mischievous.” —Voracious Readers Reviewer

"Best ghost story yet! This action-packed paranormal thriller seems like a much bigger story. Besides the murder mystery we get a second chance romance with a twist and a half. I love the characters we learn so much about. Their tale makes for a wonderful short read." —Gigi's Reads

"I absolutely loved this book... from the first page I was hooked. Goosebumps from the first paragraph all the way to the end. There are some very unexpected twists and surprises and a HEA. This book won't disappoint.” —Voracious Readers Reviewer

"I absolutely loved this book... I just couldn't get enough of it and once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. I recommend that you read it.” —Booksprout Reviewer

Just shy of 5 stars

August 18, 2019

This was a really good story. The only reason I say \"just shy\" of 5 stars is because I figured out the twist quite early and thought it was just a bit predictable. Nevertheless, it was a very satisfying read. And since Sadie is dead, there are no over-the-top sex scenes - so a very big plus for me. Read it - very enjoyable. ) One person found this helpful

Sadie & Asher

This is book 1 in CB Samet’s Romancing the Spirit series. Books 1-6 have been combined into a box set (ebook & audio). These are short, closed door, paranormal romantic suspense novellas. Sadie’s Spirit starts with Sadie realizing she’s now a ghost. She’s desperate to learn what happened and why her spirit is still sticking around. Seeking out her former boyfriend, Asher means admitting that he was right about a lot of things she refused to see when they were together. I liked the way Samet...

First book in series is romantic and compelling

November 16, 2019

I had read other books in this series and liked them a lot, and the first book is no exception. Samet focuses on the romance, but the stakes of the thriller part give the book urgency. And, like the other books in this series, Samet has a great handle on her two main characters—in this case, Sadie, the ghost trying to solve her own murder, and Asher, the one who got away all those years ago. I found myself rooting for Sadie and Asher from the get-go. Both of them are flawed, but it's easy to...

A beautiful romance with a mystery to solve.

Humm I thought I already sent in my review but I’m happy to send in another. The story starts out well and just gets better. A lot of story packed into a novella. The passion was amazing and their adventure together went rather smoothly. The ending was a complete delight. Read this book you will enjoy it too. ) One person found this helpful
