Cute book!!!

I love this book. Its one of the most romantic books i have read in a long time. Its purely fun, non-serious reading. Its not written the best, but its really hard to put down. If you like sweet, fun, romantic books, this is IT! Parental Advice: (not to give anything away at the end, but if you have a kid or teen reading this) the end of the book has a sex scene. It is the last two or three pages of the book. The rest of the book is mostly just mushy, but you do get several comments like, "If only i could touch you, I would take you right here." but nothing happens till the end. You can do what my mom does, she proof reads it, then tapes up the raunchy stuff- that way i can still enjoy it.

Excellent read - can't stop till you're done

This was a great book to read. I actually read her 2nd book first and then found the 1st book. I can't wait for her next book that is arriving in June 2008. Cindy writes excellently, you can actually get lost in her books and can't put it down until you have completed it. Thank you and keep writing.

The best book I read this year!

Spirited Away by Cindy Miles is her first novel and it was great!It was mix of historical and modern romance with a great mystery. Andi is a archaeologist who finds herself solving a 1292 mystery. The mystery comes in form of very handsome ghost,Dragonhawk. Be prepared to read through the night! Looking forward to her next'Into Thin Air' coming out Nov 6, 2007. If you are looking some more good summer reading check out 'The Secret Gift' by Jaclyn Reding, 'Crazy For You' by Kate Angell, 'The Ice House' by Minette Walters,`There Goes the Bride' by Lori Wilde, 'Kisses To Go' by Irene Peterson and 'Remember the Alimony' by Bethany True.

Wow - Outstanding Book!!!

I am a romance novel junkie (I read several a week) and am always thrilled to discover good new authors. But it's even better to discover a GREAT new author. Spirited Away is truly one of the best romances I've read in several months. The writing was excellent and engaging, the plot clever and fast-paced, characters were delightful, and above all the romance was out of this world (literally and figuratively). Also, not only did the author do a great job of balancing the romance with a hint of mystery, but the mystery itself was truly interseting. Often I feel like any "suspense" factor is thrown in as a token plot turn, only to interefere with the relationship development (which is why I pick up a romance in the first place!). But Ms. Miles managed to have me equally engaged in the romantic and mystery resolution. This is one of those books where I was torn between wanting to read it all in one sitting, and forcing myself to put it aside from time to time just to make it last longer. When I finished, I had that bittersweet feeling of a great romance - the one that leaves you smiling because it was so good, but a little bit sad because it's over and you have to say good-bye to the characters. I was really surprised to learn that Spirted Away is the first published book by this author. It was really outstanding, not merely as a "first effort," but I enjoyed it much more than books by authors who've published dozens of novels. On the other hand...I was also a little bit dismayed to realize it was her first published work because it means that I can't get ahold of anymore of hers?! I have to wait until November?!?! I can't recommend this book highly enough - give it a try, even if you're not normally a fan of paranormal. The characters and romance were completely engaging, even if ghosts aren't your usual cup of tea. And my advice to Ms. Miles - please, please...write faster!!! ;)

Absolutely Loved IT!!

When I went to my local bookstore today I had no clue I would pick up such a gem of a book. I really enjoyed this book and basically went through the whole thing in one sitting. I liked the characters, you could feel their emotions and relate to them completely. I also liked the complexity...it was a fun easy read but it also makes you think. What was in this book that is missing in others is the relationship between the hero and heroine. When you can't touch someone the emotions make up the entire basis and I could really tell how much they cared for each other. It was not about the physical but more about the pure relationship. I would highly recommend this book to any paranormal romance fanatic...such as myself. Its lighthearted and not as intense as some of the vampire romances I have read but it leaves you with a really happy feeling at the end...and I can't wait for the next book in November.
