When a holiday-loving ghost tries to rock around the Christmas tree with a grinchy guest, they both end up on the “naughty” list.

Even though I died in an accident involving a string of lights and an inflatable Santa, leaving me stuck haunting this rental cabin, I’ve never lost my holiday spirit. Jessica, the cabin’s guest for this holiday season, has a serious bah-humbug vibe, though. She even calls me the Ghost of Christmas Overkill. But sparks fly, there’s plenty of mistletoe, and I know I’m just the spirit she needs to make her season merry and bright.

“From humorous conversations to convincingly depicted emotions, this holiday story from Shannon Stacey will speak to your heart as well as tickle your funny bone. The storyline for IN THE SPIRIT is cleverly penned, where each moment is lively and sparkles with passion and wit. […]

“From the instant IN THE SPIRIT was started, I was amazed by all the entertaining situations to be found on each page. Shannon Stacey knows how to portray her characters genuinely with every day emotions, and the reactions of Jessica and Zach are energetic plus full of passion. Their enthusiastic behavior leads to frequent animated encounters between this playful couple, each of which was packed with very potent feelings. The good-humored nature exhibited by Zach is infectious to the reader, and his carefree ways will have one experiencing plenty of smiles. As Jessica and Zach begin to know each other more intimately on all levels, their inner wishes become more personal and made their story all the more touching. The fun way in which the paranormal element of Zach being a ghost was handled shrewdly by Ms. Stacey, making the situation seem plausible. The enchanting moments of magic all through the story make this holiday tale even more rewarding. IN THE SPIRIT is an innovative story bursting with humor and emotional intensity.” —5 Stars from Amelia of eCataromance

“This light-hearted tale by Shannon Stacey is filled with fun and frivolity. From the first word I was captured in the Christmas spirit, even as the heroine fought against hers. I know that if I found a ghost inhabiting a cabin I’d hope he was as gorgeous as Zach Roberts sounds!

“My biggest gripe about this story was that Jessica didn’t seem too disconcerted to find her cabin inhabited by a ghost. I think we are to assume that since she writes horror, that things like this don’t faze her. Maybe, but I would still have liked to see a bit more of a struggle with this issue. However, the way they negotiated their way through the Christmas decorations was fantastic.”

“If you are looking for a fun story with lots of heat then look no further. IN THE SPIRIT is a feel-good holiday romance that will leave you smiling.” —Michelle, Rites of Romance Reviews

“IN THE SPIRIT by Shannon Stacey is one book I liked from the first chapter and I fell in love with Zach’s feelings towards Christmas. The one thing I didn’t like was Jessica’s attitude towards Christmas but like all things it comes to an end even if you are Ms. Grinch. Zach and Jessica are awesome in this book from their moods to their passion in the bed and everywhere else. IN THE SPIRIT is a great read for this Christmas for it has a true meaning to never stop believing in Christmas.” —4 Angels from Lena C. of Fallen Angel Reviews
