Falling for the Ghost of You by Nicole Christie

Seventeen year old Violet Mercer returns home from her summer vacation in Hawaii to discover her boyfriend's cheating on her with a friend. As if that wasn't bad enough, her mother's marrying a man she just met.

Things take an awkward turn when Violet meets her rich new stepfather, and his gorgeous son--the hot guy whom she made a fool of herself in front of earlier that day! Zane O' Connor is sexy and charming, and way out of her league. He makes her forget her ex-boyfriend even existed. But there's no way she'd ever have a chance with him...right?

Through a strange turn of events, Violet finds herself living with Zane for a month. Somewhere between the fighting and flirting, they become friends. And it isn't long before that friendship blooms into something else...something more powerful than Violet anticipated.

But Zane is hiding something from her--something big enough to tear them apart if Violet ever discovered the truth about him. Her suspicions keep her from trusting him completely. She's been burned before--is she willing to take that risk again?

As she and Zane spend more time together, Violet realizes it's too late: she's fallen for the beautiful boy with the big secret. Will she get her heart broken twice in one year--or will her love survive the truth?

I really enjoyed this book. There were so many positives about this read that appealed to me.

At so many points it had me laughing out loud. Violet was absolutely hilarious. Her inner monolgue was brilliant. She's the type of girl you want to be best friends with.

Zane was totally hot and instantly drawn to Violet. She, of course was highly attracted to him the moment they met too. I loved the banter and the build up with these two. He tried to deny himself and she was having none of it.

The twist, I felt was really clever, I had loads of theories into what it would be that would threaten there relationship and was really shocked when I eventually discovered his big secret.

Here is the kind of book you need to read when you want to feel good. Everything about it made me smile :) book an afternoon to yourself, curl up on the sofa and delight in this story.

I happily rated this 4*
