THE BEST BOOK EVER: THE haunted hEaRt

Tihs book is .........undescribible!!!! I sware i could not put it down. I love the good romance novels but this was a romance novel and it also had this really edgy scenario to the book. When i wasn't reading it was almost like I was missing a movie but all along it was the book. Well, the book mostly circles around a teenager, Gina, her family has just moved to the farmside of Virgina from busy, nightlife city New York, to a haunted house because her parents are horror book novelists and they need a muse (the ghost haunting the house) to help get thier energy flowing in order to write thier horrifying books. Well, upon arriving Gina's enemy, Lydia, hates her, but Gina, whom has never fell in love, falls in love at first sight with Lydia's older brother. Gina having to deal with Lydia's jealousley and the hauntings from the ghost, which is the main interesting thing in the book, so with these 2 scenerios the book is awesome!!! I reccomend it to anyone!!!!:)

This first book from the Enchanted Heart series stars Gina Otis. Her and her family are moving into the Haunted Canterville mansion so her parents can get inspiration for their next horror novel. There Gina meets the gorgeous Jonathan Canterville and is immediately attracted to him and it seems he returns the feelings. Only problem there's a handsome ghost named Thomas haunting the house that will do anything in his power to keep Jonathan away from Gina. Gina who reminds him so much of his deceased wife Clarissa. But Thomas also needs Gina's help with a tragic problem he's had to deal with for centuries. Can Gina help him?This was a great story! Romantic and entrancing!

WOW!!

Gina and her family move into a haunted mansion so that her parents can get inspiration for their books.The house is haunted by Thomas. Tomas HATED the Canterville's who own the house. He was killed by one of their early ancestors. Gina can't help her attraction to Jonathan Canterville. Jonathan and her click immediately, and begin to fall in love. The problem is, Thomas will do ANYTHING to keep them apart. He wants Gina all to himself...This book was beautifully written! I enjoyed every minute of it and couldn't put it down. I believe it only took 2 hours to complete it. I was very touching and had a few lessons in it. Thank you Ms. Bennet for writing this beautiful love story!

this is the only book I have cried for!That's how good it is

I checked this book out of the local library, not really knowing how good it was going to be. I started to read it at 10:30 that night and went to bed at 12:30a.m. I didn't get out of bed until I finished it the next morning at 10:30...it was that good! I just couldn't go on to the new day until I knew what was going to happen with Thomas, Gina, and Jonathan. I have never been so intranced with a book since I was in fifth grade and I read, The Ghost in the garden! Now that's what I call good writing! I even emailed Cherie (The Author) telling her how much her book meant to me, and she wrote back! I have never in my life done that! So you would imagine how pleased I was to get a response! Thank you so much Cherie for such a wonderful experience. I have never traveled to a world where words had so much control! And for this I thank you once again!

it was awesome new book

Cherie has done it agian! This was a wonderful new novel. I couldn't put this book down once I got it and read it in just under a hour and half. I have always loved Cherie's love scenes and what this lacked in heat, it made up for in passion and all round sweetness.This book also hold a tantaliving semi mystery that you must read carefully to understand before your told.
