Book Review: Giving Up the Ghost
Summary: 5 Stars
Artist Ryan Monroe has spent the past two years grieving over the death of his lover, Victor. When he meets a man he believes to be a new neighbor, he's shocked to feel attraction for the man. He's even more shocked when he discovers the man he met isn't a man at all, but a ghost! The spirit of Evan Oliver, a man killed in the same accident as Ryan's lover, is suddenly haunting him. The ghost seems to be trying to tell him something...
Paul Goldman, an orchestra violinist, has been having terrible dreams lately. He can't seem to get over the loss of his lover, Evan, and he's not even sure he wants to. Can two ghosts bring these lonely, heartbroken men together?
Giving Up the Ghost is a learning to love again tale with a paranormal twist. I really liked the idea of ghosts matching up their former lovers. I also liked Ryan, whose grief, uncertainty, and fear seemed very believable. His sweet, caring friend Amy was a great supporting character. Paul was not as well developed. He went rather abruptly from thinking Ryan was crazy or cruel to being attracted to him, which wasn't as believable. The over-arching storyline was good, but I was often temporarily confused by the jumps from past to present and from reality to dreams. The grief both Ryan and Paul felt was very well written, and I felt it right along with them. Other emotions, such as anger and confusion, were also very well presented. Unfortunately, the love the men were supposed to be feeling for each other did not come across as well. The relationship seemed to develop too quickly, and conflicts were resolved too easily. While Giving Up the Ghost dealt well with the myriad emotions of love after a terrible loss, I was somewhat disappointed by the romance. GA Hauser came up with a great story idea, however, with likeable characters, making this an interesting read overall

Summary of Giving Up The Ghost
The visit from beyond the grave that changed their lives forever. . . Artist Ryan Monroe had everything he wanted and then in a blink of an eye, he lost what mattered most of all, his soul-mate, Victor. Tortured by an overwhelming sense of grief and unable to move on, his pain spills out, reflected in the blood red hues of his paintings. Paul Goldman thought he'd found the love of his life in Evan, his beloved pianist. Their mutual passion for music was outweighed only by their passion for one another. They were planning a life-time together, but then one fateful night Evan was taken. Drowning in sorrow, unable to find solice, the heart-broken violinist has resigned himself to a life alone. Now it's two years later and something, someone, is bringing them together. Two men, two loves, two great losses. . .and one hot ghost. Giving up the Ghost by G.A.
