This story was so good, I had to order the 2nd and am anxiously waiting for the 3rd volume! I couldn’t wait to get back to my book. Absolutely captivating!
This was a very warm and feel good book, even when your faced with end of life choices. Wish we all could live with that much backbone.
A quick entertaining read but didn’t love the plot
Gracious, I live in the South and appreciate the Southern traditions as does this book. You can’t help loving the main character – she has guts and determination – add in the ghosts and you get some humor and fun. A quick book to read, somewhat unpredictable but quite descriptive, you can visualize the house taking shape, cleaning up, getting ready for the first customers. I liked the book, it was a change from reading mysteries!
Did not think I would like the ghost part but actually it was well done. Very enjoyable.
It was an interesting ready. I usually don’t like chick lit, but I do like paranormal. Romance between a terminal woman and ghost was okay I guess. This just wasn’t my cup of tea.
I really enjoyed this book and told my daughter about it and she thought it was good read
Great ghost story that entertained but didnt scare you!
Loved it! cant wait for next in series!
Delightful read! It touched my heart deeply
Loved this book, couldn’t put it down, hopefully the second one goes on a sale!!
I really enjoyed these books. I can’t wait for the next one. I found it to be very original.
I liked the the story idea, but felt that it fell flat. I would’ve liked to have seen more depth and feeling from the main character. For a story dealing with dying and falling in love, there wasn’t much to evoke those feelings or emotions.
Great story. Loved the whole series!
i really liked the book .
This was an easy read. the story was predictable. I will read the second book in order to give it a fair chance.
A good light book with interesting characters, a happy/sad ending, that will lead into many more following books.
Just an unusual story! A little light on the depth, but I enjoyed this book.
Good read, interesting characters and a sad, but happy ending.
Great historical story. Love American Civil War. Excellent story line.
