okay. This was totally cute. ( )

This was a really fun book in which a modern woman is brought back in time by a ghost to help his family and while she is in the past she meets the live him. This book is full of interesting characters and a well written plot that is full of surprises and will keep you captivated until the very end. ( )

This book introduced me to fan language, and at the same time, historical romances. I have always been fascinated about mystery/paranormal and romance novels and this book is an all-in-one. It has a good story built up although I have figured out who was the villain earlier, but I guess it’s just my detective instincts that kicked in. I loved the conclusion at the ending and enjoyed the whole experience very much. ( )

One of my favorite ghosts is "Dev" from a paranormal romance with an unusual twist: "Hundreds of Years to Reform a Rake" by Laurie Brown. A modern career woman is thrust back in time into the glittering Regency period and the arms of an unscrupulous rake. Josephine Drummond is a professional paranormal researcher (aka, a ghostbuster) hired to prove that the ghost of Lord Deverell Thornton, the very handsome Earl and a notorious rake in his time, haunts the crumbling Waite Castle. But the ghost drags Josephine back to the Regency period to help him try to prevent the swindle that impoverished the Earl and threatens to turn his castle into a most undignified modern-day tourist attraction. Josephine has to contend with being a modern career woman trying to navigate the complex social scene of the Regency period, make sure no one discovers her real identity and unmask a charlatan. But all of these are easier than resisting her undeniable attraction to the Earl, who is clearly determined to sweep her off her feet. Very good read! ( )

Josie is a ghostbuster, er...paranormal investigator. She's wrapping up her latest investigation and must now, sadly, tell this nice little old lady that she doesn't have a ghost and therefore won't be able to save her country estate by opening her bed and breakfast with a 'ghost' drawing card. As if that's not bad enough, when she arrives for tea with the nice old lady, they have an unexpected guest...the ghost of Deverell Thornton, 9th Earl of Waite...and oh boy, is he a hunk!!

Dev didn't particularly want to appear to this chit. However, in order to save the family estate, he's come up with a different plan. He and this 'investigator' will go back in time and solve the money problems before they occured. Now, if only he could stop having these 'thoughts' about her...and damn it, why won't she stay away from his corporeal past self? If he can't touch her, it's not fair that his past self can, right?

Cute story. Good writing. Hot regency rake meets modern horny woman! Little confusing on the ending but there is a HEA. ( )
