RELEASE DAY REVIEW: The Ghost of Christmas Present – Pine Ridge Universe – S.C. Principale

Amazon Link: amazon

Mortimer Ashfield is a ghost in need of a Christmas miracle. He was the first librarian in Pine Ridge. He still helps organize the shelves, haunts the attic, and carries a torch for the current librarian, the beautiful Louisa. But even though he’s watched over her for four years in hopes one day she would see his spectral form, she’s never even given him a glance.

When Louisa's family can't fly in for the holidays, she retreats to her secret hideaway in the library attic to escape into a good (and steamy) book. When things start getting hot, Louisa begins to sense someone is near—and they have a voice straight out of her most heated dreams! When mysterious signs lead her to the library attic on Christmas Eve, Louisa gets a surprising gift—her very own Ghost of Christmas Present!

But will he fade away after one magical night, or will their unlikely holiday romance be the gift that keeps on giving?

Louisa was expecting her brother and his family to come for Christmas, but something came up and they would not be able to make it. Louisa is the librarian who loves her steamy romances, the only kind of romance she has in her life. Alone at Christmas she decides to spend it in the attic of the library indulging in her sexy books.

Mortimer Ashfield is a ghost and the first librarian, and he has loved Louisa since she came four years ago. He has watched her except for the times that she physically explored her sexuality, then he would leave. He wants more than anything to finally reveal himself and this Christmas he has made the decision to do it.

A ghost and a human are not something that is easily managed but he has made the decision and will follow through. Louisa first hears his voice and the romantic way he talks but she questions if she is imagining it.

What happens between Louisa and Mortimer is something you must read for yourself, but I will say it is very, very steamy.
