Where there's a will... Danika Hilliard's eccentric old benefactor, Morris Feldman, carried his healthy sense of humor to the grave ... and beyond, apparently. He left his opulent Florida villa to the pretty, if prissy, schoolteacher and aspiring author--but only if she can finish a novel there within six months... and only if she shares the luxurious space with another would- be-writer, Silas Northrop. The problem is Silas is motor oil to Danika's rose water--a cocky, good-looking ex-marine who listening to loud music and flaunting his assets in tight-fitting denims. And which ghosts, tropical storms, psychic phenomena, and a mysterious hidden treasure thrown into the mix, it may be almost impossible for Dani to get any work done at all--especially with tantalizing, infuriating Silas nearby, the one distraction she is finding increasingly more difficult to resist.

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!
What a sexy set-up!

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 this book!

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
