Gardening with a Ghost

Haunted Love

De: Amanda Meuwissen

Narrado por: Kevin Earlywine, Curtis Michael Holland, Amanda Meuwissen

Peter Thorne has a secret—he can bring the dead back to life. When Peter’s mother died, she passed him the touch of life and made him promise to use his abilities wisely. Unable to bring her back and afraid of being caught or causing too much imbalance in the world, Peter vowed to use his gift only on plants. After all, with people, sometimes dead is better.

Or at least that's what Peter thinks, until he takes a gardening job at Benes Manor. The mystery of a missing girl, an old gothic home, and the whispers and tempting caresses of a ghost in his room lead him to delve deeper into his powers than ever before. Perhaps he can find the missing girl and the origins of his ghostly visitor. If only he knew who to trust—and who and what to touch.

Gardening with a Ghost is a standalone novel, originally part of the MM paranormal romance multi-author collaboration Haunted Love.

What all audio books should be like

It was like listening to a radio show in the 1930 and i was just as entertaining . This author is new to me and im so glad i chose to listening to it was book every one is on point with the narration, its worth listening to

Well worth a listen

the narration was top notch. Several narrators can be a bit hit and miss, but honestly this one was just super well done. Transitions between the voices was flawless and having different voices made the listening experience pretty immersive. I highly recommend listening to the story if audiobooks are your thing because it's worth the added money.

I went into this one pretty confident I would enjoy it because I had read another story from this author between a "ghost" and a human, so I didn't doubt the romance would be my jam. And it was! The romance was so cute, and the sexy times were really done as well. Arthur and Peter are swoon worthy.

The mystery aspect of the story was also well done, but I'm not sure I really get the character's motivation on that one. I mean, yes, he wants to find that little girl but he seems much more invested in it than pretty much everyone else, which doesn't really make sense to me, but ok. The villain of the story was a surprise, so that's always fun in a mystery, and Their motivation was wild to me. People are weird.

An enjoyable diversion

Great job with the story. I did skip through the sex scenes, but I really liked the mystery and the general framework of the story (-: One of the best aspects was the use of different narrators, each of whom was well chosen!

Interesting plot and great narration

The premise and plot of this book were unique and the mystery was entertaining. I highly enjoyed the narration style with the multiple narrators and how each part was handled. I think this is going to be an audiobook I listen to often.

Fabulous Story & Listen🎧 Delightful & Intriguing!

Wow, what an original and imaginative spin on a ghost story, and I loved everything about it, from Amanda Meuwissen’s wonderful writing story to the fascinating characters and storylines she created to the perfectly cast narrators who bring it all to life from the pages to your ears. Peter Thorne has a supernatural ability, an ability to bring the dead back to life with a touch of his hands. He is careful not to reveal this gift or touch anyone. His gift extends to plant life too, so he is great at bringing gardens back to life and made a career out of it. His next gardening job brings him to the Benes Manor, which has been empty for almost 40 years. He lives with the family while restoring the neglected garden, a family grieving for their young daughter, Delia, who disappeared and is presumed dead. Peter senses a spirit in the house and he thought it was Delia’s spirit, but it wasn’t her, it was Arthur Benes, who died forty years earlier. Peter thinks Arthur may know what happened to Delia, and talks to him, but he does not know or remember much, but Peter will try to help him remember. This story drew me like no other and once I started, I could not put it down because I needed to know what happened next. The story is a cleverly plotted paranormal whodunit mm romance, and I loved how it all played out. What started out with Peter trying to find out what happened to Delia expands to Arthur too, and how he died. There is never a dull moment in this book, it is has plenty of drama, a touch of angst, mystery, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Amanda Meuwissen, thank you for this fabulous story. 

🎧📚🎧 And for the amazing narration, Kevin Earlywine, Curtis Michael Holland and Amanda Meuwissen are entertaining storytellers and versatile voice artists. The production of the audiobook was well done, with Earlywine covering the narrative and Peter’s narrative, Holland covers the other male role’s narrative and Meuwissen covers the female roles. A seamless production that enhances the already amazing story to another level. They set the perfect tone for the story, capture all the characters’s emotions and project them into their performance. This talented multi-cast production was a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this fabulous listen.
