It wasn't a great book but I did enjoy it, it was a fast easy read that got me out of a slump, and I'd be willing to read the author again for sure.
There's a close quarters romance and cat that seems to be a little too intelligent, but is not the main focus of the story.
The main plot is Josie is being haunted by the ancestor of the man she's (definitely not) falling for, and she is determined to figure out why this is happening now when it's been established the house has never been haunted before.
The main obstacle between the couple and their happy ending is Josie has learned that trusting and relying on people is a good way to get hurt after her father was accused of a heinous crime and punished for it by the public.
This does lead to moments when it appears that the male MC is pushing her into a relationship, however, we are generally in her pov and aware of the fact that it's not unwanted attention.
This could be triggering for some though.
The female MC is that cliche super rare thin, red haired, violet eyed beauty that is somehow inexperienced and unaware of her own appeal, so just be ready if you decide to read it (again it was a good book)
