My review

Bea Winters wants to follow her dreams and does not want to be bullied anymore at work. So when an advert appears to work in the accounts department of a publishing house in Yorkshire, she takes the chance!
Having the job, she has to find a place to stay. Luckily she can count on Eddie Richards to help her. he is also an aspiring author and he finds the perfect solution for her.
She enjoys her new life and work, especially her new boss is not so bad to look at! Scott Summers is hard not to look at, and Bea finds herself at the center of his attention.

For those who think this is just a paranormal story and not their cup of tea, YOU’RE WRONG!!! I’m not a paranormal fan myself, so I was a bit fearful of it would be too much and not believable.
And I truly enjoyed every bit of this book! The paranormal aspects added a layer of mystery to it, but was not something that was too present.

I found it sweet to read how Bea was trying to find her own happiness. Leaving her job and take a leap of faith of accepting a part-time job without even having a place to stay, takes a lot of courage.
And when she meets Eddie, well, I found myself smiling. Eddie is the kind of friend everyone needs in their lives.
He is there (almost) every time Bea needs a helping hand, and even more. And despite he is a bit younger than Bea, there is more going on.
And then there is Scott… he is gorgeous yes. But from the start I didn’t feel at ease when he was mentioned.
There was something that I didn’t like about him. I couldn’t put my finger on it. Also the way he behaved with Bea was off…

At some moments in the book I wanted that Bea dared to speak more her mind. It caused some awkward situations with both Scott and Eddie, and if she just dared to speak out, a lot of it could have been avoided.

I loved this story as it was more than just a romance. It as a story about being courageous, finding the place where your belong. Meeting new people, some more important than others.
But it was also about belonging. Bea moved a lot during her childhood and was mainly raised by her siblings. And moving to Yorkshire means for Bea finding more than just a new job. She finds a place that feels like home and where she belongs, with even a few surprises.

And what I really liked, was that despite some initial dislikes, the actions of those persons get explained and even if I didn’t agree with them, I understood their reasoning.

A beautiful story with that tiny bit of extra!
