Author: Regina Carlysle
Genre: Erotica
Book Size: 55 Pages / 231 KB

SEAL Ren "Ghost" Ramsey never expected sparks to fly when he meets up with his childhood friend, Dr. Sadie Ballew while on leave in Key West. He's surprised to discover she's successful, sexy, and divorced. Sadie had always been too good for the likes of him, a son of an alcoholic and slated to become no better. He should keep her at arm's length, but he wants nothing more to burn up the sheets with the sassy lady she's become.

Sadie isn't fooled by the badassed, dangerous facade Ren wears like a second skin. She only sees the sweet yet conflicted boy she loved and lost all those years ago. Afraid to let him go off on another dangerous mission without knowing how she truly feels, Sadie needs to find the confidence to make the leap from friends to lovers.

Nice book to read. Some editing problems (ie: "join" written as "joint" in a few places) and while that sort of thing distracts me, it didn't take away from the story. In the usual Erotica form, sex drives the story, not the story-line or characters.

Scenes are well-written, nothing too funky or gross. Characters well thought out and believable. While I never felt my heart tug for either one of them, it was a good, quick read nonetheless and I enjoyed it...until the end, that is.

It's my belief, or perhaps my preference, that romance stories, Erotica included, end in a HEA or in the very least a Happily For Now. Not the case with Touching Ghost. If you don't mind the disappointment of a feel-good ending, you'll probably like this book. I felt it ended too abruptly, as if the author didn't want to go past her publisher's maximum word count or something.
