The Haunting of Hotel LaBelle

The Haunting of Hotel LaBelle by Sharon Buchbinder was a paranormal romance with a lot of twists and turns that kept me turning the pages.

Tallulah Thompson is an independent hotel inspector with a gift. Lucius Stewart is a man who was cursed over a century ago on the day that he obtained his dream of owning the Hotel LaBelle. These characters were well developed and the history and background of the Billings, MT area was excellent. The plot was fast paced but fully developed and each character brought another element to the story. Tallulah and Lucius are both smart and strong. Their growing relationship is sometimes humorous and sometimes painful as they both must face Lucius' past. I will definitely be looking for more from Ms. Buchbiner.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book from The Wild Rose Press via NetGalley.

This author has been on my radar for a while, but I've put off reading her books because I'm not that into paranormal. But in this book, she combines some of my favorite things–old houses, handsome ghosts, American Indian culture, and dogs. How could I resist?

Talulah Townsend has a gift of being able to help people move along to the next world when they die. She clears the air in old houses and hotels while the buildings are being renovated. But she is not prepared for the Hotel Labelle and its gorgeous ghost-in-residence, who isn't a ghost at all, merely trapped in time. Lucius is luscious–all you could ask for in a hero. Mix in the fact that his descendants are part Crow Indian and you have the perfect story. And that's what this story is. Perfect.

very well written and entertaining paranormal love story, which is usually not a genre I favor but this one is pretty darn good. It's a fast read with a lot packed in. Buchbinder has a nice turn of phrase and a sense of humor. I'd like to see more from Tallulah. Thanks to netgalley for the ARC.

What a great read! I was pulled in from the first page and could not emerge until the end! For a paranormal romance it has all the elements that I like. The characters are strong and the plot line thickens with many layers. The story unfolds at a fast pace and you are captured in your imagination until the very end. For romance, passion, life and exciting mystery with curses and more this is a read for you! Enjoy for it really is unlike many other stories out there. The writer is definitely talented and it shows on every page. I was given this book in return for an honest review. Anna Swedenmom
