Enchanting love story
Flees a marriage to be considered a ghost. I can’t say much more because I don’t like reviews that end up telling me the story of so much of it that I feel I have read the book. Let’s just say that it is an endearing story with many pitfalls avoided.

A truly delightful book with little twists and turns. Started reading the story and from the third page on, the author had my full attention. First time reading Fanny Finch's book and already downloaded another of her stories which is also intriguing. Couldn't put the book down, just kept reading and reading until it was finished.

not really a ghost
The hint of the supernatural at the beginning really helped capture my attention! Elaine and Nelson were so easy to like and care about, I really enjoyed this book.

sweet and clean
Sweet read and maybe more of a 3 1/2 star rating. As there was much mentioned about the ghost, Vanessa, it would have been nice to get a more finis end to her life. Especially as how she died and where she ended up as there was never a body actually put where they placed her memorial. Just my take personally. Otherwise it was a sweet and clean read with a couple epilogues a bit into their future together

A little slow but a charming story that follows Nelson, Marquess of Camden, who goes to a check out a recently inherited castle in Scotland at his father’s request. The castle has a haunting ghost story of a lady pining away for her lover and when Nelson finds a similar looking female in the late lady’s old room, he jumps to a conclusion she is a ghost, supported by the lady herself, Elaine, who is a runaway bride in hiding.
Nelson quickly discovers his error, but he does not want to expose the lady whom he intrigues him and needs his help. The story is funny with the mechanics of pretending she is a ghost and providing her food and a bath while he waits for her to reveal she is not a ghost.
It comes to a head when a suspicious servant exposes the charade to Elaine’s father who thinks Nelson abducted his daughter, but everything works out when Nelson and Elaine declare their love for each other and give the village the wedding that Elaine denied them when she ran away from her unwanted, previous groom.

Unexpectedly enjoyed the story
At first I thought the story as going to be about a ghost . fortunately, that wasn't the case. The description of the characters through dialogue made me feel like I could identify with each of them. A little bit of a story change caused me to be more interested as I read to the end.

Sweet little ghostly romance
Not quite what I expected. I was drawn into the story from the first. It started out a bit slow and I wondered where it was going but once the heroine was introduced, I was hooked. Could hardly put it down. There were a few rough patches that could use a little work but for the most part, very sweet and enjoyable.

Very odd but sweet story
Imagine starting a relationship with a ghost. Imagine running from duty into love. Imagine gaining the dukes approval because you stayed true to yourself. Recommended for all readers.

This is a lovely book with a few twists and turns.
Elaine has run away because she does not want to marry the older man her parents have arranged for her. She hides in a nearby castle.
Nelson Lambert, son of the Duke of Montecliff, travels to Scotland to look at the castle that his family has recently inherited.
The characters are likeable and fun. I liked the interaction between both the main characters and the minor ones.
Can Lady Elaine escape the wishes of her parents and find happiness?
I enjoyed reading this story kept me interested the whole way through.
