Phantom Hearts

Ghost, #2

by

Minnette Meador

Imaginative and suspenseful spicy paranormal romance!

Phantom Hearts by author Minnette Meador is the latest novella in her Ghost series, which began with A Ghost of a Chance. The plot is intriguing, with the main character, psychic Brianna “Bri” Eugenia Alberic, discovering she’s been impregnated by the demon, Reggie, seduced in her dreams. She learns of her condition only a day after she and the man she loves, Sgt. John Thompson, finally consummated their relationship. I could feel her shock and anger as she came to understand what had been done to her. The two main male characters are complete opposites. While Reggie literally drags her through hell, John goes through hell to rescue her. 

The story contains explicit adult situations, so this one is not for children or readers who prefer their romances sweet. Some scenes are loving, passionate moments between two people who have long waited to commit to each other. However, others include Reggie’s scene of seduction and lust-filled orgies in the third circle of hell. The author has the marvelous ability to make both types vividly real, and they make quite an impression. 

Supporting the main cast are some fascinating and quirky characters. Bri’s deceased grandmother, Gomo, has some fun moments and always has her back. I also enjoyed Reggie’s sister, Beatrice, and Charon from Purgatory. 

With its tense, well-crafted plot and a cast of likable characters, both recurring and new, I recommend PHANTOM HEARTS to readers of spicy paranormal romances.
