I knew, before even opening this book, that Ghost was going to be something special. I cannot tell you when the last time was that I was surprised, shocked and sometimes left speechless while reading a story. Kudos for knocking me on my ass, Ms. Blevins. ~ Kitty, Guilty Pleasures
Description:
At eight years old, Hailey’s life took a turn for the better when her mom married Darnell, despite the fact she had to put up with his asshole son for a stepbrother. Eight years later — the day after her stepbrother graduated high school — Darnell and his son moved out, and the divorce was final six weeks later. She hasn’t seen either of them since.
Ghost works at the gun store, but one evening the MC is shorthanded and he’s sent to help watch over their stable of working girls. He walks in and smells Hailey, his ex-stepsister, and shortly thereafter drags her out and carries her home.
Brothers and sisters fight. It’s what they do. But when the worst happens, they’re there for each other. They haven’t seen each other in six years, but some things never change
Review copy provided for an honest review
I knew, before even opening this book, that Ghost was going to be something special. I was not 
prepared for everything that went on and it took me a full two days to really process everything, to come to terms with some things that happened. I wanted to take my time before writing this review because a lot happened and I knew that I really had to think about it all.
Hailey and Ghost were special. They were both head-strong. They enjoyed each other. They trusted each other. In short, they were meant to be together. Their relationship, at first, was tumultuous but, when Hailey realized that Ghost was trying to protect her and not run her life, she understood and things then became easier. They both needed to come to terms with the fact that they hadn’t stopped loving each other, even after all the years apart. Hailey had to forgive him for leaving … Ghost had to forgive her for doing what she had to in order to survive. In the end, they both realized that they had each other’s backs and would do whatever it took to make the other happy and whole.
Candace Blevins has a particular way with words and with telling a story. In Ghost, she brought out all the good about her writing. She never gave us down time and had us on our toes wondering just what she was going to throw at us next. Was this her whole plan with Ghost? I’m not sure but that’s exactly what she did. She threw some things at me that had me open-mouthed and wondering about her sanity and asking “how could she do that?”. I seriously think that I said “really!?!” twenty times during this story. I didn’t think it was possible, I really thought that I knew Candace Blevins … I was wrong. I cannot tell you when the last time was that I was surprised, shocked and sometimes left speechless while reading a story. Kudos for knocking me on my ass, Ms. Blevins.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention just how wonderfully written all the sex scenes were staged and written. Again, I expect this from Candace Blevins but she really went above and beyond again. She had just the right amount of straight sex, mixed with dominant sex, mixed with BDSM. She knows how to bring the dominant out in her male characters and how to bring her female characters to their knees. Makes me stop and wonder just what she would do with a male submissive.
But, as for the story itself, I was totally enthralled with how she brought everyone and everything together. Old friends, new friends. Old problems, new problems. Viper played such a prominent role in this story along with Bran. It was great learning more about the both of them and I truly do look forward to seeing more of them in the future.
Sounds good…thanks Kitty
