Description from the publisher:
Some ghosts won’t
take “yes” for an answer.
Jack Harris has loved
Legs Anderson since they were kids. Now that he has her in his bed, he has no
intention of letting her go. Aunt Ada has other ideas, even from the grave.
GETTING BETWEEN JACK…
Orphaned at a young
age, Legs Anderson owes her Aunt Ada everything. The stoic old lady raised her,
and Ada’s warnings about men—and the Harris boys in particular—have stuck, even
after her death. Of course, that could be because Ada stuck around, too.
…AND HIS LEGS
Patience is not one
of Jack Harris’s virtues, and he’s waited too long to start a life with the
woman he’s loved since childhood instead of them just knocking boots. Now Ada
is interfering from beyond the grave, haunting the old Victorian house she
bequeathed to her niece and reinforcing Legs’s fears of commitment. But Jack
won’t give up. No matter what trouble may follow, the house will be renovated,
Ada will learn to let go, Legs will put her money where her mouth is…and then
Jack’ll put his lips everywhere else.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a stand-alone story, as are
all that Adele Downs has released to date.
This is not part of a series.
Legs Anderson knows that ghosts are
real. She continues to live with Aunt
Ada long after the lady has been laid to rest.
I thought it was a fun read to observe as Jack Harris learns what Legs
already knows. He had his work cut out
for him when he had to woo not only Legs, but also her dearly departed aunt! I loved that I was able to disappear into
Aunt Ada’s fixer-upper of a house and enjoy the laughs and taunting between the
three main characters. For me there were
many laughs, sighs, and a few errant tears found between the covers of this
book.
I would love to read more fun
stories from Adele Downs!

The
roar of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle on Rachel’s block and the rev of a
throttle in her driveway announced Jack’s arrival. Legs tried to appear
nonchalant when he walked through the poolside gate, but the sight of his
sun-streaked hair and tanned, muscular good looks nearly knocked her off her
seat. She eased her sunglasses down the bridge of her nose to get a better look.
When
he stepped into the pool area dressed in black jeans, black biker boots, and a
white muscle shirt that framed his pumped-up shoulders and biceps, she caught
her breath. Everyone in the group said “hey” and Rachel offered him a cold
drink, but his focus had remained on her. He slid his sunglasses on top of his
head and nodded in her direction.
Legs
remembered his gaze meeting hers before his attention strayed to her gold and
black bikini then savored every inch of her skin. An appreciative smirk curled
his lips and desire flashed in his beautiful blue eyes. He took a long pull of
the soft drink someone handed him and then set the can down on the patio table.
He looked her way and said, “Want to go for a ride?” The invitation came out
like a dare.
