Ten years ago, ASHLEY HALE left the Inn at Loon Lake, her family's business, frustrated by her father's apprenticeship that treated her more like a personal assistant than heir apparent. Her childhood best friend turned husband, CHRISTOPHER LEWIS, stayed behind, breaking her heart. After her father's sudden passing, Ashley discovers that he changed the terms of the will to include either her or her husband, whoever stays for thirty consecutive days following his death.

To claim her rightful legacy and her only chance at a happy future, Ashley sneaks into the lighthouse behind the Inn with the intention of scaring her estranged husband off the premises by pretending to be a ghost. Unfortunately for Ashley, Christopher knows she's back. He's spent the last decade running the business and hating himself for not following her. Her father forbade him from telling her the truth of the Inn's financial circumstances. In an act of love, he saved the resort and has been supporting her with an allowance ever since.

When Ashley accidentally sets the lighthouse on fire, she runs into Christopher's arms. He hopes her return means a relationship resolution and a chance to show how much work is involved in managing the property, hoping she will gladly hand over the reins. However, Ashley isn't giving up, and Christopher doesn't want her to leave. Convinced the Inn's lighthouse is haunted, she starts an investigation. Together, they uncover one mystery after another. Will they discover the secret to a happy future and a second chance at love?

The Ghost of Loon Lake by Rachelle Paige Campbell is a second chance romance for Ashley and Christopher.

Will Ashley get Christopher off the property? Will they rekindle their romance?

Ashley Hale-Lewis

Ashley Hale-Lewis’s family owns the Inn and the property on which it sits. She wants to take back what is hers from her husband, who chose her father and the Inn over her. Ashley had a great idea for trying to scare him off, but sadly, it didn’t really work. She has a great creative mind and is an excellent extrovert, which is needed for running a business that features talking to people all the time. I like Ashley, even if I think she was being a bit childish. Still, she should have tried talking to him like an adult instead of going at it the way she did.

Christopher Lewis

Christopher Lewis is Ashley’s childhood friend-turned-teenage love-turned-marriage partner. The two of them went through everything together until Ashley left ten years ago when he started his apprenticeship to one day run her family’s Inn. Christopher hated being put in the middle, but he agreed with her dad. He has regretted that decision ever since, but he has turned the Inn into a flourishing business. I like Christopher since he is the practical one over Ashley’s creative whims; however, the two of them balance each other out.

The Romance

I like Christopher and Ashley together. The two of them are a cute couple, and I like how they try to deny their feelings for each other while still gravitating toward the other. Ashley and Christopher, I think, are going to run a great Inn together since they complement each other, and Ashley can bring exciting new ideas to the Inn.

Four Stars

My rating for The Ghost of Loon Lake by Rachelle Paige Campbell is four stars. I do recommend this cute second chance sweet romance to romance readers out there. Ms. Campbell does a great job transporting me to Loon Lake.
