Carried Away

I just finished Carried Away this morning, and the book left me with a smile on my face, warmth in my heart, and the sadness of having to leave the world of Dani and Silas. This book had me hooked from the first page. I couldn't put this book down! This novel combines the elements of a mystery, a romance, and a chiller all into one extremely interesting story line. I developed a particular fodness of all the characters and their unique traits, especially all of Morris's ex-wives. The idea of ghosts and psycic phenomena seemed a bit far-fetched and unbelieveable to me at first, but as I continued reading, Sue Civil-Brown fit those unique elements into her novel in such a way that it made so much sense and enhanced the novel all-around. This is such a wonderful read!

An eccentric bestselling author leaves his villa to a prissy schoolteacher and an ex-marine, both aspiring writers. They have to share the opulent home until one of them finishes a novel, and "wins" the house. I LOVED this book. The characters really come to life, and it's fun to watch them battle with lust, ambition, and each other.

I loved everything about this book, from the zany family to the ghosts. And when I read Morris's diary at the end, I cried. Lots of laughs and two really great romances. I loved the scene where they kissed in the fountain. This definitely goes on my keeper shelf
