"a unique story"
Ashton Claymore had no clue why his luck had him stuck on a
riverboat for the last one hundred and forty years. He also
had no idea why on the anniversary of his murder many years
before that he is able to appear in his own body. The so
called boat that Ashton is stuck on is restored and used
for the libertine party where Lauren appears. Ashton has no
idea why he is so drawn to Lauren; she was beautiful with
her red hair and makes him have feelings he thought long
gone. Lauren is excited to be on the decadent Halloween
cruise and then the dashing Ashton comes to her rescue and
the night just gets better for Lauren. She is drawn to his
kindness, his Southern charm and to her it is very shocking
with all the other men she has come across the way Ashton
has such great manners. He is her dream man come to life,
could he be for real? Will Ashton be stuck on this boat for
years to come, or could Lauren be his dream woman that will
be with him for the rest of his years? This was a unique story by Eileen Brennan. It drew me to
want to know more about Ashton, what had happened to him,
why he was made to stay on this boat for so many years. Why
on the anniversary of his death is able to inhabit his
corporeal body. How bringing Lauren into his life allowed
him to enjoy his one night. I just had to see how she was
going to bring this wonderful book to an end. I thought she
did a fantastic job. I look forward to seeing what other
stories Eileen Brennan has in store for readers.
