by Anne Stuart

Marielle Brandt had inherited the weirdest apartment building in history. The place was haunted, the tenants a motley crew of misfits -- and Marielle felt right at home. Then there was Simon Zebriskie, who gruffly gave her help and advice, and made her believe she'd been looking for him all her life...

Review: How can I resist a novel where the surly hero is a DJ who (despite himself) plays "Annie's Song" by John Denver? It's one of my weaknesses and so is this book. Marielle and Simon are soulmates - they just don't know it when they first meet. I find this book very comforting for some reason - probably because it's all about people caring for one another and looking after each other.

Review: I just love Anne Stuart!! I thought this was a fun read with great characters and wonderful secondary characters. One of my favorite things about Ms. Stuart is that she always focuses a lot on the extra people in her stories, the neighbors, the sister or brother, the friends. It is such a neat thing and most authors I have read do not do that. In this book, Marielle is a widow gone to live in a "haunted" apartment building. That is where she meets Simon, the somewhat "acting" landlord. And while they continue to fight their feelings for one another, they become best friends. And Marielle finds that the eccentric people living in the building are just as friendly and special and she begins to form strong bonds with them as well. And meanwhile, strange things are happening around the house and one of the psychics in the house performs a seance and Marielle has a minor meeting with a spirit. Or does she?? I highly recommend this book. It is fun and different and I think you'll love it!
