When pleasure
mixed with work leads to a stockbroker’s day from hell, Erin
Carter has a breakdown. Having quit her job and feeling
like she’s losing her grip on sanity, Erin agrees to her
best friend Maria’s plan to visit her family in Spain.
There, Erin finds that peace doesn’t come easy. On the one
hand, she falls fast and hard for Dr. Santiago Botello, a
gorgeous Spaniard with green eyes that are to-die-for and
talented hands to match. On the other, a fifteenth-century
ghost named Serena seems to have attached herself to Erin
for reasons she cannot understand. In an effort to get the
ghost out of her life, Erin agrees to help Serena figure out
what happened to her. But as Erin sinks deeper both into
Santiago’s embrace and Serena’s mystery, her life starts to
mirror that of her spectral visitor. And the past did not
end well for Serena…
Kimberly Troutte
serves up romance with a heavy dose of danger in Catch
Me in Castile. Santiago is the kind of hero that
makes most women wish they could pay a visit to the doctor.
He’s intelligent, kind, and wonderfully sensual. As for
Erin, she intrigued me. Erin’s an unusual heroine, in that
for most of the book she isn’t quite sure she has a full
grip on her sanity (and with good reason). I was captivated
watching her heal by spending time with Santiago and delving
into the mystery of Serena’s tragic end.
A threatening
figure lurking around every corner adds menace to
Catch Me in Castile. Falling in love with Santiago
may be easy, but staying alive is a more difficult task for
Erin. What was disappointing about Catch Me in
Castile is that halfway through the story it is
obvious who is orchestrating Erin’s troubles. Because it
was so clear to me who the story’s “villain” was, it felt
like the second half of the story dragged a bit. Still, I
enjoyed Catch Me in Castile and finished the
book with a smile on my face at the end. Ms. Troutte made
me feel like I was being swept away to Spain, and I must
admit, she also made me wish I had a Santiago waiting for me
at journey’s end. |
