Photographer Lara Saunders has a lifelong secret – she can see and hear ghosts. When she was rescued from a near drowning by the ghost of a lighthouse keeper, he set her on a mission to document historic lighthouses and the lives of their keepers so they were not forgotten. Now on her third book in the series, Lara has arrived in San Diego to document the Old Point Loma Lighthouse but hasn’t counted on becoming the target of Cody Warren, the matchmaking owner of the Del Fantasma bar. Or falling in love with a handsome Park Ranger whose secret is even more strange than her own.

Jennifer at CK2S Kwips and Kritiques has given Del Fantasma: Texas Tea four klovers and says, in part:

I am not really drawn to ‘ghost stories’. I don’t know why, it’s just not something I’m really into. I don’t dislike them, they are just not usually top of my list unless the plot looks very interesting or the author is one I enjoy. DEL FANTASMA: TEXAS TEA meets both requirements. New author Maura Anderson makes the writing craft look easy with her first published story, and doubtless earned herself a following of her own fans with this sexy little story.

You can read the entire review on the CK2S Kwips and Kritiques website.

Thank you so much, Jennifer!

The wonderful WitchGiggles said (in part):

This is a story with all the elements; distrust, fear, lust turning to trust, love and acceptance, good sex scenes and fully rounded characters. Great fun to read.

You can read the full review on the Alternative-Read review blog but you should read some of the other reviews as well - it’s a great review site and I love their takes on different stories.
