Be Our Ghost
About the Book:
The only thing scarier than ghosts is falling in love.
Knox McIntyre has mastered the art of avoiding drama, especially the romantic kind. Ever since his screenwriting career went up in flames, the grumpy bartender has kept his past buried and his heart off-limits. But when a paranormal reality show sets its sights on the boutique hotel where he works, he gets roped into the production—and partnered with the one woman who just might unravel him.
Charlotte “Charlie” Fraser is the Duchess Hotel’s sunny front office manager, a hopeless romantic with a weakness for happy endings and broody bartenders. After months of pining for Knox, she’s finally ready to act—even if it means battling her inner scaredy-cat by helping him bring a ghost-hunting show to the hotel this Halloween.
As Knox and Charlie dig into the hotel’s chilling past, they find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other. Every lingering look, near kiss, and shared secret brings them closer to something real. But unless they can summon the courage to face their feelings head-on, their love doesn’t stand a ghost of a chance.
My Review:
Be Our Ghost is the second book in the Duchess Hotel series. Charlotte "Charlie" Fraser and Knox McIntyre are employees of the Duchess Hotel and concede to the whims of their new GM, Preston. When Knox's friend Logan notifies Knox that he's coming to town as a field story producer for the host hunting show Canada's Most Haunted, the Duchess is now on their list of investigations. Partnered with Charlie, they work together to investigate the boutique hotel's past in hopes of finding a ghost story worthy of a paranormal investigation. If a relationship blossoms then that's definitely a bonus.
This is a cute contemporary romance with a smattering of the paranormal. There is so much depth and so many layers to each character. I loved watching Charlie and Knox's romance unfold. It's not without issues, some theirs, some because of others. There are shared secrets, baggage from the past, and wonderfully described present-day happenings.
The characters and story are well-developed and well-written. I loved being back in the world created by Carla Luna. The world-building is well-crafted and I was able to visualize the entire story. This book doesn't just focus on a romance or the paranormal but includes other themes that provide additional layers of realism to the story.

My Rating:
Purchase Links:
Carla Luna writes contemporary romance with a dollop of humor and a pinch of spice. A former archaeologist, she still dreams of traveling to far-off places and channels that wanderlust into the settings of her stories. Her books have been called “escape reads,” ideal for perusing during a beachside vacation, a long flight, or a relaxing weekend at the lake. When she’s not writing, she spends her time reading, baking, and taking long walks while listening to pop culture podcasts. Though she has roots in Los Angeles and Vancouver Island, she currently resides in Wisconsin with her family and her feisty Siberian cat.
