I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first. This is set years after the first book and is from the POV of their children, now grown. It had a lot of sub-plots that, while more or less resolved in the climax, still got a bit much in the main body of the book. The ghost portion didn't really fit where it was the main plot in the first book; it felt a little forced or thrown in and was mostly unnecessary. It was still classic Edwardian romance (early 1900s and set right before the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904) with more tease and struggling with personal morals and reputations than any actual sex but there is a bit of that too. Overall, a fun read and can be read as a standalone, but not nearly as compelling as it could have been. (
