Goodreads Description:
Libby Kelting had always felt herself born out of time. No wonder the historical romance-reading, Jane Austen-adaptation-watching, all-around history nerd jumped at the chance to intern at Camden Harbor, Maine’s Oldest Living History Museum. But at Camden Harbor Libby’s just plain out of place, no matter how cute she looks in a corset. Her cat-loving coworker wants her dead, the too-smart-for-his-own-good local reporter keeps pushing her buttons, her gorgeous sailor may be more shipwreck than dreamboat — plus Camden Harbor’s haunted. Over the course of one unforgettable summer, Libby learns that boys, like ghosts, aren’t always what they seem.My Review:
This was a really fun unexpected read. I really enjoyed the characters and the slight paranormal underlining mystery thing it had going for it.Libby was a very real likeable character. Garret was fun and Cam was drool worthy (well, for awhile anyways. ;) ) and her friend Dev was such a riot.
I love the Jane Austen period and could totally relate to the whole falling in love with chivalry and poetry and the time period. When a man was a real gentleman and love ruled all.
I just loved Libby's character and loved watching her grow and learn as the story progressed.
I would recommend this to anyone who just wants a light fun read with a happily ever after.

ReplyDeleteJust my cup of tea. But whatever happened to that 'chivalry and poetry' period? Haha. I'm such a romantic dork. Off to add this to my to-read list! Thanks:)
