MY REVIEW
When Jules (July) and Leo are at the same authors' convention, the spark they had years ago is reignited. But Jules is very wary, so Leo's got his work cut out for him if he wants that spark to become a flame. Add in a ghost that haunts the venue (and Jules), let's just say, things won't be easy for them.
A little ghostly haunting and the vibrant setting help lift this story. Leo and Jules are a cute, but VERY slow burn couple. Leo definitely did the majority of the pursuing and the work, while Jules had to work on herself. She was a very frustrating character for me to read, but I could still empathize with her grief over her mother, as I just lost mine at the beginning of the year, so I could see her wariness because of her grief. Still, she took so long to come around that I despaired she ever would. Thankfully with a lot of research, support from her awesome friend Vicky, and Leo's gentle persistence, things finally worked out. I couldn't go a full 4 stars because Jules was so frustrating, but the story as a whole is fun and the touch of paranormal is awesome.
