For the Love of a Ghost

Every so often I find myself reflecting on “what if someone from another time could experience our future? How would that affect my own sense of the time that I live in?” This series of books by Jackie North explores this idea. So many of the things we now take for granted were not always so. This is a read that is quite full of romance and what if. As time travel stories go, these successfully navigate the genre’s challenges.

This is part of Ms North’s Love Across Time series, of which there are six books.

* * * * *

Soulmates across time. A love that conquers even time itself.

In present day, all Finn wants is to leave behind the family farm and become a ghost hunter.

In 1912, Artie works hard to save enough money to escape the rumors about the kind of man he is, a man who loves other men. He has vowed never to open his heart to another.

Finn has taken up residence in a haunted hotel. There, he’s set up his equipment to track down evidence of the hotel’s three resident ghosts.

When Finn is thrust back into the year 1912, his only thought is to get home. The problem is, he’s fallen for Artie who, in the future, is one of the hotel’s ghosts.

Will Finn get back home? Or will his feelings for Artie cause him to stay in the past, leaving his future behind him?

A male/male time travel romance complete with the scent of lavender, shared beds, daring rescues, found families, root beer floats, and true love across time.

The Purple Fantastic Steam Rating gives this a 3 or 4 out of 5. It has steamy moments, but this is more about characters and plot than steam. You can read more about the Steam Ratings on the About Page.
