Overall Opinion:
“Ghostly Embrace” starts off with the abrupt death of Louis, a craftsman, at the hands of his enraged wife and finds himself attached to the bed frame craving he made for his dear Sophia. Owner after owner he scared away before landing in the hands of Marina. Unlike anyone he has come across before, the single mother and 18th century ghost held more in common than they anticipated and an unlikely romance form. Once after her death, many many years later the heartbroken craftsman meets the new owner Katie of the antique frame, the possible reincarnation of his former beloved. From chapter one it became more than apparent how immersed I was by the story and the in depth detail Brenda Hurley was able to created. Needless to say, I am glad that I decided to give this ghostly romance a chance because from beginning to the end I was left astonished by the phenomenal writing style, the history and in depth lead characters and secondary characters, and the well executed the ending that almost rendered me speechless. Brenda Hurley’s “Ghostly Embrace” is a highly recommended for readers that are looking for a ghostly romance novel that will flood them with a whirlwind of emotions and a few twists along the way.
