Reviews for Ghost Unlaid

*

Overall rating:
Sensuality rating: Very sensual

When Librarian Julie Macbeth is given a special assignment of being the one to catalogue rare books discovered in the old Drummond Place, she discovers something quite exceptional. As she examines the well-worn pages, she has the opportunity to be introduced to a very dynamic gentleman that becomes a very appreciated distraction in her daily life. But when she learns that only a few are able to actually see him, things really become quite engaging.

Lulach is a Scottish king from the 11th century. Now over a thousand years later, he has been trapped waiting for a real time to die. When Julie’s presence begins to awake him there is a certain charm in her company and conversation that calms him and he finds himself appearing to her quite often.

Ghost Unlaid is a really romantic story. It was so moving after Lulach’s real identity is revealed. The way Julie kept searching for answers to help set him free was an unbelievable story that I could not put down. They way Ms. Treanor wrote the desire Julie had for Lulach was a true love story. Often times it brought back memories of the movie, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. It was like a love surpassing all throughout time.

Ms. Treanor’s writing is full of sensuality that warms all the way down to the toes. Her flare for words made her characters two strong people with real needs and desires. The dialogue truly captivates throughout every page. This story draws you into a luxury of times past with elegant amorous style that allow you to escape to another time and another place. Ms. Treanor has created a story that is a must read! Grab a chair, and put your feet up, this is one journey that you don’t want to miss!

Rating: 8 from Novel Spot

Marie Treanor has developed some extremely endearing characters. Lulach has to be the sexiest ghost that Scotland has seen in a long time! Julie's boss is definitely a man to be hated. It was characters like these that kept me turning pages in this book. My only complaint was length--I loved the story so much that I wanted more! Ghost Unlaid is a keeper for anyone who loves a good romance, or for a dowdy history buff like myself. Much appreciation for a good read, Ms. Treanor.

GHOST UNLAID is a tender, passionate, and charming story with a fun touch of quirkiness. You’ll see ghosts in a whole new light after reading this captivating story...

GHOST UNLAID is an extremely well written and solid story that was an absolute treat to read. Ms. Treanor does a fabulous job of pulling you into the story with wonderful visuals and entertaining dialog. You could almost smell the musty old books in library. I just loved Julie and Lulach is sexy, charming, and perfect as our ghostly hero. This was my first story from Ms. Treanor and I can’t wait to read more of her work. If you haven’t read this one yet, you’re definitely missing out!

Marie Treanor writes with a sensual, intelligent style, giving her characters strong personalities and engaging dialogue. Ghost Unlaid drips of classy erotic tones and historical elements that sweep you away from the firstsentence. I was so entranced by the character Lulach and his rich background.  I was sorry to see the story end. While a shorter length work, this is the kind of read one can fully escape into.

While entrapped in Ghost Unlaid by Marie Treanor you are taken into a world of ghostly beings, rare books and ancient times. One of my favorite parts of the story is when Julie finds the key that can end Lulach’s time as a ghost. Will she use what she finds to send him away even though she is madly in love with the ghost?
 
... I enjoyed Ghost Unlaid and look forward to reading more of Marie Treanor to see if she can entertain and just plain maintain the enticing story as she has created in this one. I for one want to read a longer story written by this author -- as Calgon™ says, “Take me away,” and she did! For a short story this is well worth a look at the book.

Hauntingly beautiful and entirely sensual, Ghost Unlaid will entice readers’ from start to finish with a love affair that will cross all boundaries, including life and death....


Not the type of story I would have picked for myself, I found Ghost Unlaid entirely entertaining. Ms. Treanor has written a story that not only contains love and romance but also of history and of a ghost that does not rattle chains or scare people. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this book; I loved how Julie was able to recognize that loving someone, no matter what they are, is a part of human nature and cannot be helped. Lulach was the quintessential knight in shining armor; only he was dead and haunted a library. My only regret about this book was the length of the story, I would loved to have read more about Julie and Lulach but I suppose a story does have to end, unfortunately. Buy this book not only for the story but because it does not have the usual happy ending, but it was a very special treat indeed.
