Exciting, fun, sexy

The gist is: A penniless, untitled rake has given himself up to perdition by gambling, womanizing and drinking, when his life was rudely disrupted by the unwanted intervention of a family ghost set on saving him. The ghost somehow orchestrated to have "Jack" go out into a stormy night where on his way home, he believed his carriage had run over a young, beautiful woman named Moira. Unbeknownst to Jack and his best friend who was present during the carriage accident, Moira was on the run from her the evil, debraved son of her former employer. Jack and his best friend placed a wager that they could pass Moira, the daughter of a farmer and former servant, as a lady. The plan was: Jack would marry a rich woman to solve his financial problems, and Moira would find a rich husband so she could help her struggling farmer brother in Ireland. However, they didn't count on themselves falling in love with each other. Because of Moira, Jack found he couldn't be the drinking, womanizing, gambling rake he once was, even if he tried! This was a typical Historical Romance, with all the usual ingredients: The fallen man who becomes reformed by the love of a woman, the pure hearted woman trying to escape evil and do what's right even if it means denying her own heart, and the abominable villain who threatens to ruin all that is good. The only unusual element, is the family ghost. Even though the story was unremarkable, I still enjoyed the book every step of the way. Jack is so forward and verbal about what he feels and wants from Moira, that it's a breath of fresh air. It drives me batty when characters hide their feelings of love creating an atmosphere of uncertainty and doubt that's infuriating. Moira is not so forward, and bends the truth and hides her feelings, but with good intentions. But I found I liked her anyway, because she seems so sincere in trying to make things right, even with her limited power. The plot moves very quickly, and the villain is always around the corner, to keep the suspense going. The sex scenes were plentiful and every encounter except one was described in great detail, never lagging to the end, so you get the sense that the characters never got enough of it. I wasn't going to read this book at first because of the cover, and because my favorite romance review page gave it a "D", but I'm glad I did. It was like watching a nice, feel-good movie.

A Pure Delight to Read

I read this book a while ago, and it was my first Connie Mason book. This is the book that made Connie Mason one of my favorite authors.I recomend this book to anyone who wants a can't put down, can't stop reading experience.

The Ghost of Amelia / BlackJack Greystone

This is another typical great book from Mrs. Mason when looking for books on the net I pull up the authors and a list of thier books. Connie Mason is one of the first that I click on. Don't fail to get this one. The ghost of Amelia is on a roll with Black Jack. It's a "can't put down" book. Great job Connie!

ANOTHER GREAT STORY FROM CONNIE MASON!!!!

I loved this book!! I think Connie Mason has mastered the art of sensual romance. Her stories are always tasteful and romantic but they also burn the pages! Her characters are smart and very funny.

Great Book !

This book was awesome. I couldn't put this book down at all. The ghost was cool because he was trying straighten Jackson, because he was known as a lady's man until he met Moira. Then he started to care. Read this book it was great.
