Work detailsGhost Hunter by Jayne Castle
None. Cooper the Local Guild boss still cares for Elly even after she throws their engagement ring and goes after her in Cadence City. This is a romance with a bit of a mystery that takes place of a planet far away which is covered by alien ruins which cause some of the locals to develop psychic powers. Not a very good description, but to go into more detail seems like too much effort of a sci-fi romance novel. The book wasn't bad, although the characters seemed sort of bland and some of their dark secrets really had no real feeling of emotion when they finally shared the info. The bad part was the sex. A book needs to either give the reader some details to get them hot and bothered, or at least make them think the characters are actually hot and bothered, or just do the fade to black and let the reader use their own imagination. This was the most bland and tepid sex scenes I have ever seen. Lines like "he touched her in all the right places" are just too vague and add to the trouble connecting emotionally with the characters that I found in the rest of the book. Another of Castle's paranormal romances set on the planet Harmony, where psychic abilities abound. Elly finds evidence that the local Guild boss only wants to marry her because of her impeccable Guild lineage and connections. Infuriated, she gives back his ring, resigns her stifling academic job, and moves to the big city to start a new life as an herbalist. Six months later, he follows her to patch things up. But neither of them fully understands the other.... Both Elly and Connor have nonstandard psychic abilities which they have spent their lifetimes hiding. Good thing, too, since the local druglord has a plot which threatens them and their friends. Although this falls very firmly in the romance genre, Castle handles the fantastic elements well enough to satisfy this science fiction/fantasy fan. I have really been enjoying this series. I'm going to give it 4 stars because I liked the plot. However, the audio reader was not to my taste - the sex scenes were cringe inducing as it sounded like my grandmother reading to me. no reviews | add a review Is contained in

Two characters with hidden depths, a dust bunny with great fashion sense, and the problem of romance complicated by murder and drug dealing. The world of Harmony continues to entertain. (
