I knew there were ghosts involved, but for a while there is some suspense around who they are, why the kids won’t leave the house, and what everyone’s so nervous about. Most of the book takes place in the haunted house with the kids and their skeezy housekeeper. I loved it so much that I’m not sure I can even articulate why but I will completely agree with Crusie’s editor – your weekend might be shot because of this book, but you won’t be sorry.įirst of all, the plot. I ignored basically everything else going on and absolutely inhaled this book because I just completely loved it. I picked this book up and I did not put it back down. This isn’t a romance, because the romance isn’t driving the plot, but it is one fantastic book no matter what genre you put it in. Jennifer Crusie is the only contemporary romance author I like and she’s proved herself yet again here. She can’t turn that down, not just to take care of two kids, but it turns out that the house truly is haunted – and the ghosts don’t want to let the kids go. So he offers Andie a ridiculous amount of money to take care of them for just a month, convinced that she’s the one – not ready to let her go. Three nannies have fled from the kids, and North is pretty desperate. As it turns out, though, North still needs her help he has two young wards in a supposedly haunted house. She’s getting married to someone else, and heads to his office to symbolically return ten years’ worth of alimony checks.

Andie Miller is finally over her ex-husband, North Archer.
