Super Gothic Romantic!! This was such a a treat to read for the Halloween Season!! I felt as if I was in a haunted, beautiful mansion and all it's doors and gardens were revealing one beautiful story at a time! 💗

I applaud all the authors that came together to make a delicious book dessert available to us romance readers! When each alpha hero showed up on the pages I felt as if I was a casting director! Who can make my Halloween season even better?!! Lol 😏 naughty naughty I know!

The heroines were brave and mysteries with edges of delightful! The writing from all authors was delivered in a manner worthy of many standing ovations! 🎆

Bravo!!

Very. Cute “ Scary” stories especially for Halloween. Some cute, some sad, some scary and all lovely!
the cat who walked through walls
An adorable story of reminiscing, sneaky cats and a Great- Aunt who gets her way. I adored the chemistry between Sara and Rafe and how Lady Cynthia lost!

The Night we met
A cloak and dagger mystery that kept me on my toes. Devon and Phillipa’s chemistry is evident from the start and little Elizabeth is adorable

The Ghostly Lady of Braemore
Unrequited Love generations old that made unrequited love anew. I loved how Elinor kept hoping and gave Gavin time to change his heart. The ghosts were active and helpful in their own way!

Midnight Tempest
An interesting story of the fine line between life and death, treachery and love. Well written with wonderful characters.

Lady Vengeance
I love strong, witty women, and Sadie fits the bill! Protecting the abused, she gets in trouble and Lord Heath steps in. Loved how they, together, flushed out the banshee and their chemistry was palpable. I adored the little girls too!

A Regrettable Curse
What do you get when 2very enthusiastic ghosts try to help, only to cause more issues than help.? A cute love story! This is adorable!

A Love for all Time:
A time travel/ghost story that is so very sweet. The chemistry between the two just jumps out at you and you WANT them to be together. Love wins again!

My Heart’s Song
Though a little convoluted, this is a sweet story of love and acceptance. She is the last of her line; he is a titled gentleman. They both are running out of time to break a curse from an angry ghost. Very sweet.

An Accidental Love Spell
A spicy yet sweet about a woman finding the Duke she always dreamed of within the confines of her own home. A meet-cute story !

The Earl’s Haunted Heart
A sweet story of two people who can her ghosts. One understands, the other doesn’t. I loved how their story was love at first sight and how she saved him!

Invitation to a murder
A mystery who done it wrapped in with a sweet love story. I loved the mystery and how Violet found the murderer and I adored the last line!

3.5 stars rounded up. This is overall an entertaining collection of ghost-themed HR novellas, with varying levels of spookiness and romance. I discovered a couple of authors I would like to read more from in the future. (Note: the Jade Lee entry was edited from a previously published work).

I generally love a themed anthology, and I was looking forward to some spooky HistRom stories! I rarely read all stories in an antho and this one was no different, those that I did read were atmospheric, some more paranormal than others.

I did pick this up for one author specifically and was very disappointed that their story in this "never-before published" anthology was in fact "excerpted and edited from" a 2022 Dragonblade title.

Such a fun anthology!

I thought the stories were creative, spooky and romantic. I had a great time immersing myself into the stories. Plus I liked that all were historical romances too. Something different for each book.

Would recommend if you want to get in the mood for spooky season.
