For urban-legend hunter and television host Gabe Powers, it's business--investigate the most notorious haunted places in Savannah. Then he meets his new sound engineer, a dewy Georgia peach who may just turn this gig into (im)pure pleasure. All it takes is one night for them to conjure floor-rattling, wall-banging moans...but they're not from the ghosts. Blame the rippling abs, the cocky swagger, the granite jawline, the whole muscle-bulging package, but Gabe is bringing out good-girl Lily Jameson's dirty side. Damn her code-of-conduct contract--this isn't just a molten-hot fling. There's just one kink in the relationship they've been avoiding: soon they'll be going their separate ways. Lily's home is in Savannah, and Gabe is a globe-trotter at heart. For them to be together, they'll both have to upend their so-very-different worlds and face their fears in the process. And suddenly things don't feel so Georgia peachy keen at all.

In the past, this author's books have been a little hit or miss for me, but the whole “ghost hunter” angle of this one intrigued me. And, I enjoyed it. It was fairly low angst, insta-love read. The writing was well done. It was well paced. The plot was engaging. It had humor. It had little bits of interesting history sprinkled throughout. I would have liked a bit more sex, but the scenes we get were suitably hot. There was no OW or OM drama. Neither were virgins. It had some great secondary characters. The parrot was especially funny, and I hope Daisy and Ivan get an HEA of their own.
Gabe was pretty much a perfect hero. Maybe a bit TOO perfect as I found it a little hard to believe he would go from this guy whose whole life was traveling around (and him loving it) to him being perfectly happy staying in one place for the heroine after just ONE week of knowing each other. The author even implies this by having him be disappointed at missing out on chances to do some things he has always wanted to do. Hence why I loved Lily and totally got where she was coming from. Considering his brief look of disappointment about the Scotland trip, I would have had my doubts as well. Last, it was all wrapped up in an OK ending. It was sweet for sure but felt a little abrupt to me.
