The story was captivating from the start, and only got better! Perfect start to spooky season read. Kept a haunted feel throught the whole book and kept me on my toes! 

Holy F***king plot twist!  

Callum is a rich bachelor and Millie is a lost girl recovering from a very rough past. 
When Callum’s estate Doctors happens to find Millie working in a book store he recruits her to be Callum’s assistant, in the spooky, now unkept mansion. 

Millie is an amazing character & this couldn’t be a better story. I truely felt I could see though Millie’s eyes reading this book! 

I honestly am so grateful, Bea wrote loved and I’d love to have LOVER on audio, I love Callum’s POV. I would read this for the first time, over and over again, and this Audio gave me that chance at least once. 

I am honored to have been chosen as part of the ARC team.
