Ghost Business

"You get a long, hot summer full of the most delectable kind of pining."--The New York Times

Clashing ghost tours lead to a sizzling romantic rivalry in the second romance in the new series from USA Today bestselling author Jen DeLuca.

Boneyard Key, Florida, is the only home Sophie has ever known. Her love for its supernatural history has flourished into a career, as she guides the one and only ghost tour through the town’s can’t-miss haunted spots. And while her bank account isn’t full by any means, her heart is. Or at least, it was.

But there's a newcomer in town. The son of a Fortune 500 businessman, former theater kid Tristan has grown his tours from a fraternity fundraiser to a multicity ghost tour conglomerate. It’s doing well, but not well enough—if he can’t prove that he’s solidly in the black by the fall, Dad’s going to pull his funding, spelling the end of his career. Boneyard Key, with its haunted reputation, seems like the perfect place to boost his bottom line.

When the two ghost tours clash, Sophie’s expletive-filled rant goes viral, and the rivals strike up a deal. Whoever has the most successful business by summer’s end stays, while the loser must ghost. But the more Tristan comes to appreciate Boneyard Key, the more Sophie comes to appreciate Tristan, and what starts as begrudging respect becomes something spicier. Can they put their feuding businesses aside to make room for a chance at love, or is Boneyard Key too small for two ghost tours?

Ghost missing

I will read anything Jen DeLuca writes she has a way to suck me in quickly with her characters. The only thing missing in this book was I wanted a little more ghost action. I loved the back story of Sarah in the first book.

Loved it perfect spooky season read

Super cute! I really enjoyed the ghost tours part. The oysters I could do without but everything else was super fun!

You’ve got ghosts?

These books just keep getting cuter. This definitely played into the ‘You’ve Got Mail’ trope with two businesses warring to stay afloat in Boneyard Keep. You will not be disappointed in the witty banter a from these two characters.

Just slightly short of “there”

Oooh I wanted to love this one so much! For whatever reason, the plot was just a little too cliche for the story, and unfortunately, that knocked all the stars off by one peg. Sophie’s abandonment issues and Tristan’s daddy issues are a little too on the nose for this story. The other thing was the timeline of this story - there were certain goalpoasts alluded to in the plot that ultimately seemed glossed over in the end..

How the main characters ultimately meet the dilemma of Tristan’s dad was really glossed over, which was strange considering that 99% of the tension of the book was about Tristan’s dad and the purse strings he held. In the end, Tristan’s dad ultimately didn’t represent much of a problem.

The narrator did a mostly great job. The only thing that gave me pause was the pronunciation of Spokane, which caused me to stop the playback at least three times to go back and be like “wait, what’s happening here?”

So, overall, it’s a fun story, but it wasn’t as strong as I would have liked.
