His lips were a temptation....
But was he real?
After crashing her car on an empty highway, Shane is miraculously saved by Travis, a mysterious cowboy who walks out of nowhere.

Review:
Ok so the synopsis is extremely cheesy, but this novel really surprised me because it was a really good novel. It was one of those novels that you finish reading and think that's it? Where's the rest of the book? I need to read the second novel! I'm the least patient person that I know, so waiting 6 months for the second novel is basically torture.
The beginning for me was so slow. It took me a few days to get through the first 40 pages! But after that the story really picks up and it got really interesting.
Travis was kind of creepy in the beginning, but as his story unfolds (BTW: his story was were the problem stems off from) it explained the creepiness of Travis.
Random Thought: I would love to read a story from Randy's (Travis' older brother who witness and remembered his father's death) POV.
To me this plot was really unique. The elements that went into this story was extremely interesting. I like the idea of a Kindred and how ghosts can be a solid person.
Purchase this novel at: Amazon / B&N / TBD

I'm glad you enjoyed this one. These kinds of ghost/afterlife stories aren't usually my thing. I think that most times with these kinds of books the authors seem to always use instalove and justify it by saying the characters are connected in some paranormal-ish way. That's what the synopsis sounds like, but since you said that it's better than the synopsis I'll have to give this one a chance. Thanks for the review :)
