Belonging to MacGregor by J.J. Massa

Elisabetta Finley has loved Eian MacGregor ever since she was a child.  It didn’t matter that the man of her dreams was 300 years dead.  She just wishes that he could be with her now, helping her take care of the people of Gregorstac Isle.  Laird Eain MacGregor has waited for centuries for the one woman who will love him enough to break the spell and bring him back to the land of the living.  When Elisabetta comes back to the ancestral home, he knows immediately that she is the one for him. How can they be together, when he is a ghost?  Will he be able to save her from her scheming cousin who wants to marry her to control the land?

This was my favorite of the three stories in this anthology.  If this story had been a stand alone, I would of given it 4 ½ Unicorns.  I loved the idea behind the story, and I thought that the way Ms. Massa penned the story was fantastic.  The romance was hot and sweet, and I wished I could find my own ghost.  Kudos! 

Reflections by Sassy Blue

Phalandria Gunn is an antique dealer who has everything she needs, except the love of a good man.  When she buys an antique mirror and chest at a sale, little does she know that her life is about to change. Mick Galloway has a woman, but the problem is he can only love her in his dreams.  He doesn’t know who she is or what is happening to him.  All he knows is he has to find her. Brought together by a fantastic tale of love and betrayal, Mick and Phalandria must search the past and their own hearts.  Are they meant to be together?  Or is this just a reflection of a past love?

This was an excellent story, well written and romantic.  Some of the details were a little confusing, the ending abrupt, but I enjoyed it overall.  I will look for others from Ms. Rebel.

Zero Cemetery Lane by Logan Blue

Nicole comes to the small town of Marrok looking to start a bed and breakfast finding the perfect place in an old log structure out on Cemetery Lane.  Even when ghostly happening occur, including a hot and heavy lovemaking from the resident ghost, Nicole continues her quest. Enter Thorpe Angel, a handyman who wants to help Nicole put things to right.  While attracted to him, Nicole isn’t sure she can handle another complication in her life. Things get strange when the two are at the house together and Nicole finds that making her dream come to life, could cost her… her own.

The premise of this book was interesting, and I liked the detail in the story, but the ending was very confusing, and hard to understand.  I found the scene where Nicole makes love to the ghost, hot and well written, and Logan Blue’s vivid descriptions of the haunting made me shiver.
