Description from the publisher:

She fell deeply in love with him in the early days of her childhood. And in return, she captured his heart the moment he first cast his gaze upon her....



Renowned artist Mariah Jennings, hired to paint a 13th-century Scottish castle, gets the shock of her life when she encounters the handsome knight who has dominated a lifetime of portraits and sketchbooks. 



But Sir Cailen Braithnoch is no ordinary ghost, nor did he suffer an ordinary death. Magic of the blackest kind cast a pall over the knights centuries ago. 



As the ghost and his lady seek to unravel the paradox surrounding his death, black arts, otherworldly forces, and a jealous rival conspire against them. 



Will those forces tear them apart, or is their love destined to last throughout the ages?



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

SPIRIT OF THE KNIGHT is a stand-alone story of romance between a modern woman and a 13th century ghost of a knight.  This is a clean romance that is suitable for most ears, but it does include witches, sorcery, and a bit of passionate kissing.



When I was a young girl there was a show on TV called THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR.  I loved that show and wanted to be swept off my feet by a dashing otherworldly man.  I haven’t thought of the Captain in years; yes, this story brought that happy, wonderful, innocent series back to mind.



Just like the old TV show, this story is romantic, light-hearted, and charming.  Cailen and his band of knights would be welcome in any woman’s home or heart.



Not only is this a sweet and ghostly romance, but it is a suspense-filled race for justice.



My only frustration was hanging pronouns.  This is a personal pet peeve in real life, too.  I need to know to which “he” each one is referring. 



This was the first book I had read from Ms. Peterson and I was a little unsure about the premise of the story.  Now, I want more, more, more!



Narration:  Dawson McBride did a beautiful job narrating this story.  I loved how his tone changed from campfire ghost story at the beginning to supernatural romance to suspense romance and somehow managed to mix the three in the end – all while managing to maintain multiple voices.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy via Audiobookworm Promotions’ Adopt-an-Audiobook, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
