So, this is the novel in question.
Was it only me who doesn't appreciate the cover? I don't know, the cover of hard-naked man suggests that it's one of those steamy novels I saw on the Romance shelves. Of course, like the saying goes, "Don't judge a book by its cover". This is indeed so here.
I much prefer the covers of the first 3 books.
I must say, Christian's and Emma's story is fast becoming my favourite in all of Cindy Miles' novels. Spirited Away is still my top favourite though.
This is a lovely, lovely PG-rating novel! The story is so heartrending and filled with hilarious moments at the same time.
I especially love the return of previous characters from previous novels. The Dreadmoor gang (my favourite), the Munros, etc. Jason of Dreadmoor has been and still is my favourite! Woo! I enjoyed his parts in this story very much. I can't help but wish that I can hear more about Tristan and other members.
And the way the castle and mist in Wales are describe in the book, wow! It just makes me want to visit Wales... *Sighs*
Christian is a very likable character, like the rest of the male protagonists in previous books. Twelve-century, a ghost (for a better part) and full of chivalry, who doesn't like that? Emma is a great character too.
The plot is wonderful in here, lovers being reunited every 72 years only to fail to be together is refreshing. I feel that the author has improved since Spirited Away.
Thirteen Chances is a good read, sweet and touching with humour mix in. A combination I can't resist.
Can't wait to see what else she's got to offer.
