Trent Light and his four brothers are being given their assignments. Their mother pours a little suggestive magic over the envelopes, ensuring that each of her sons get the assignment that they need. Trent expects the worst one, but he is off to Key West to go ghost busting at Calloway House. When Trent comes to Key West, he poses as a busker, doing a pretty amazing fire show on the streets by day. He finds four ghosts at Calloway house, and he’s able to get rid of three of them. But Emily, the last one, proves to be very stubborn. Emily has a guardian angel who won’t let her pass over until she’s made amends on this side, and this involves Trent and newcomer to Key West, Julie Calloway, who has inherited Calloway House. Julie finds Trent very attractive and Trent is certainly interested in Julie. But all he’s looking for is a fling while he’s in town, while Julie is looking for more. It seems though as if fate, a ghost, a guardian angel, a mother and a talking parrot, all seem to know what is best for Trent except Trent himself.

It is always a delight to read a book that has been penned by Ciar Cullen. She writes stories that just beg to be read until the end. She pens characters that leap from the pages. Trent seems to be a bit of an ass at times. Big headed, arrogant but oh so very charming with a gift of the gab. Being Irish, Trent has all the advantages. Julie seems to be the repressed librarian until she meets Trent and has a little make over, then oh baby!!! Trent is knocked for a loop, poor boy. I love how Ciar Cullen mixes a nice pinch of humour into the story. I smiled more than once. Her sex scenes are very hot, sizzling and sensuous. The fire really burns between these two. I enjoyed the plot. Ms Cullen weaves a great story and keeps the readers guessing. Why can’t Emily cross over? What’s all the fuss about a necklace? Why can’t Trent commit? What secrets does his mother know? This all makes for a very exciting plot that keeps the readers turning the pages frantically. Ciar Cullen, please keep writing these great stories and more about these interesting brothers.
