Maybe This Time

By Jennifer Crusie

Book Overview

Andie Miller is ready to move on with her life. She wants to marry her fianc and leave behind everything in her past, especially her ex-husband, North Archer. But when Andie tries to gain closure with him, North asks one last favor: Since the death of a distant cousin, he's become the guardian of two orphans who have already driven away three nannies. North needs someone to take care of the situation--and he knows Andie can handle anything. Carter and Alice aren't your average delinquents, and the creepy old house where they live is being run by the worst housekeeper since Mrs. Danvers. Complicating matters is Andie's fianc 's suspicion that this is all a plan by North to get Andie back. He may be right because Andie's dreams have been haunted by North since she arrived at the old house, and that's not the only haunting. As Andie copes with the ghosts of her past and present, she begins to see that what she wants is the same thing that everyone in the house wants--a second chance--and that maybe this time she'll get it.

Just a ghost story

This was disappointing. I usually enjoy Crusie books, some more than others, and am ok with a little paranormal. But here the main characters were squeezed out and left dull and flat to make room for a ghost story. This book lacked her usual wit and her characters were lackluster at best. If you liked Agnes and co, this is probably not the book for you.
