5.0 out of 5 stars A "Keeper"!, Mar 14 2003

(TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Of Midnight Born (Mass Market Paperback)

Serena Clerenbold died in 1350, the same day she had married the evil man named Le Gayne. After 500 years of haunting the area and scaring men away from what she imagined as her property, Maiden Castle now had a new tenant that refused to leave.

Alex Woding was an astronomer and wanted solitude to map and research falling stars. He had met the ghost years ago as a lad. He chose Maiden Castle for his heavenly research, as well as, for his own personal reasons. But the ghost of Serena kept scaring his male staff away. Only the females were not prey to any of her pranks or tricks.

***** A romantic, but wily, ghost story that will beg readers to read it more than once! This one may be the KEEPER OF THE YEAR, Readers! I highly recommend this one!

I would give this book 3-1/2 stars, because I really, really wanted to like it. I'm always sad when I find a book I could like, but just can't because some element is lacking, and this book did start out good. I liked Serena, she was spunky, funny, loveable, and you could feel her sadness come right off the page. Ms. Cach did an excellent job developing her character.The scenes when she's trying to scare everyone out of the castle are hilarious, and I got a good chuckle from the bathtub scene. The story was believable, and interesting and other then Serena, it's what kept me plodding along for the nineteen chapters I read.

My problem was with Alex. Ms. Cach didn't seem to take the same amount of time to develope him, and I found him warm, but all around a very flat hero. Also, the book took so long in having the two communicate, and for any real spark to be lit, that when they did get together it was less than full-filling to read. I held with it for 19 chapters, then couldn't take it and skimmed and skipped ahead and of course they live happily ever after, the end.

Oh, on a side note: the villan le Gayne is very evil, and the parts of the story he's in are very well written and gothic-ley chilling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended Ghost Story, July 26 2001

What a wonderful treat! I am always looking for authors who are creative and willing to take risks in romance. Lisa Cach is now on my list of authors to buy and keep. Our heroine, Serena, is not your same-ole, same-ole heroine. She is a strong-willed woman, who by the way, has suffered in life, and now intends to make trouble for others, especially men who seek a home in the Maiden Castle. Laughing. This novel is fun. It will make you laugh but will also tug at your heart and maybe bring a tear or two to your eyes. It's one of the best ghost stories that I have read in romance. Ms. Cach has good skills too. She can actually plot!!!!!!!!! And her prose is simple and clear. This is a terribly romantic book, with some of the best dialogue around. Don't miss it. I loved it, and it's a keeper on my romance shelf!
