Today, I have the opportunity to review Haunts Haven by Joan Sowards. From Joan's website:"Any house that sits empty for sixty years is apt to gather a few ghost stories in its dust."
Callie Wilford doesn't believe in ghosts, but as soon as the former school teacher arrives in the tiny town of Cassady Springs--home of two feuding families and a cafe owner with a startling story--residents start telling her tales of a ghost who "guards" her century-old, deserted inn. Unfortunately, it is soon apparent that there is more truth than fiction to the stories. While Callie has the courage to unearth tragic secrets to claim her heritage, it takes a handsome cowboy--and a lonely rancher--to prove that her own long-guarded heart may be able to love again.
Haunts Haven is an LDS ghost story with a romantic twist. I really enjoyed this book. With any good ghost story, you expect mystery, suspense, and some spine tingling. Haunts Haven delivered all of that and more. I enjoyed Callie's twisted romantic feelings. She can't help falling in love with the mysterious cowboy who keeps popping up just when she needs to see him . . . or the attraction she feels for the sometimes annoying rancher who is her closest neighbor.
The only part of this book that disappointed me was that I figured out the mystery much earlier than Callie did. There was a redeeming value in that even though I had it all figured out, there was a twist at the end that surprised me. Believe me, you may think you know the ghost's story, but you really don't until the end. It's an excellent twist! Want to know more? Then read the book!

Ooo, I'd love to win this book, because:
