Idk.. I really wanted to like this one but I felt like they went from 0 to 100 in just a few pages and right after she's been rescued from being kidnapped and beaten.. I wish it was longer because they could have done so much for these two characters. It seemed like they get together because it was convenient, I didn't feel any real chemistry.

Great start

Looking forward to reading more about Ghost and Bea. They fall fast and hard after he rescues her from the evil man. Just hope she keeps in touch with the bar owner.

I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it, Crystal and Sandy do the fast, insta-love stories so well. Ghost is no different. A man broken from the evils of his past, becomes the ghost that Bea no longer needs to be afraid of.
These two are brought together by ones past & ones present. They share a common enemy and that enemy is the reason that these two see how different their lives can be now because they have each other.
It was a fast paced story that allowed these two to heal in the ways that they needed. I would absolutely love to see these two again.

This one was very short, but packed a lot in. I liked how Ghost and Bea went from being lost at the start of it, to no by the end. There is so much promise ahead for them and I look forward to see what happens next for them.

I have no words!

I have no words! Well I do, I am just struggling to put them together. Let me just soak this in for a few minutes. That ending swept me away with such emotion.
To be honest, the whole book did.
Ghost has been chasing demons in one form or another since tragedy struck, whilst chasing that last one he finds Bea.
My heart!!!
I cannot wait for more from Ghost and this dynamic writing duo!

This is an ARC review of the prequel novella of Ghost. I absolutely loved their storyline. Ghost, Ghost, Ghost be still my heart.... what a dark, beautiful and heartbreakingly broken man. He has lived through so much h*!!. Now he's on mission of vengeance to kill everyone who was responsible.

Beatrix is just trying to figure out her life after the death of her beloved father. When her whole world changed in a blink of an eye when she was taken by someone she thought she knew.

Ghost is taking care of business when he discovers a bruised yet beautiful woman named Bea that he's immediately drawn to. Their connection is instant, emotional and heartwarming. I devoured this novella and can't wait to see what happens next for the two of them.

Five ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

We first met Ghost in Salem's book,and I've always been intrigued to read his story. This is exactly what epitomises Sandy and Crystal...fast paced,action packed tales that suck you in and never let you leave. Ghost vowed to rid the world of the people who destroyed his whole life,and unbeknownst to him,it would pull him into the path of Bea. Their enemy was the same,their pain was the same,and when it came down to it,the healing and the unity of their kindred spirits changed their outlook on life,and brought their souls back to the light. I really hope we get to see more from Ghost and Beatrix!

5 amazing stars!! More if I could.

I'm greedy and want more!!

Ghost was briefly introduced in the book Salem (and i loved the small cameo). And i was so excited to know he was getting his story told. This was a fast paced insta-love novella. This was not rushed or corny.

I immediately was enthralled and left wanting more when the book was over.

Everything from this duo is gold and I devour all the words. I wish I could live in the worlds they create and be friends with these characters as they grow on me in the short span of the story.

I need more Ghost and Bea.

Phenomenal novella!!!!

Oh! My! Goodness! Okay okay, I know this is just an introductory novella but holy heck are you going to get ALL the emotions out of this one! Ghost and Bea have an instant connection under awful circumstances. Throw in an adorable kitten and you’ve got the makings of this phenomenal story. I loved the Fallen Ravens MC book and this tie in novella is a great transition into more stories - I hope. LOVED IT!!!!

Ghost is the story of how Ghost and Beatrix came to be and it was an emotional one. This book starts with zero chill and sets the tone for the rest of this novella. I hope we get to see this couple some more.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Dark, intense… and over way too fast

This novella delivers exactly what it promises: vengeance, darkness, and a haunted man living in his own personal purgatory. Ghost is brutal, broken, and fueled by revenge—until Beatrix enters his world and shifts everything.

Their connection is intense and immediate, and I loved how Beatrix becomes his anchor without magically fixing him. She doesn’t erase his demons—she quiets them. That distinction mattered.

The atmosphere is heavy, violent, and emotionally charged, and it works really well in short form… too well. Just when I felt fully invested in Ghost and Beatrix, it was over. I wanted more depth, more pages, more time with them.

A strong, gripping read—but it absolutely could’ve been longer.

So good!

It fell in love with it. My heart literally broke for Ghost & Bea. I am so glad they found each other and healed at the same time. I only wish it was longer. I found myself wanting more of their story. I only hope they show up in other stories. I read Salem first, so I knew who Ghost was. I'm hoping he joins the MC, and we get him & Bea in other books.
Ghost is a hero in his own making and doesn't even realize it.

Ghost has been out for revenge and in the process rescues a women that made his heart start to feel again. Bea is a sweet woman who attracted the attention of a evil man.

This story is emotional and heartbreaking but also about starting over. Insta love at its best is what these amazing sisters are known for. There story’s are beautiful and intriguing. I can never get enough!!

This was a quick read packed with action, suspense, regrets, and revenge, and second chances. The story is heartbreaking and emotional. The characters were great. For a quick read, this story packed a punch and was engaging and sexy, and one of those instant connections that leads to a hot, steamy read.

Ghost!

A wonderful short read. I wondered about Ghost when I read Salem's book and this was the perfect little nugget to give his story. I absolutely love everything these ladies write and can't wait for more Ghost and Bea!

It was...okay

I really do not have a lot to say. Novellas can be great but this one seemed more rushed that usual and really not believable as there wasn't anytime to build the relationship. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

Only 8 chapters and 73 pages. What the actual fuck????? Ghost and Beatrix went from 0 to 100 in a split second. Calls her baby and doesn’t even know her???? “I feel at home with you” bitch you don’t know this man and you had sex with him hardly even 24 hours after being KIDNAPPED WTF

Great short story

I loved the characters in this book. The storyline is great as well. The couple found what they needed to be happy as soon as they set eyes on each other. I thoroughly enjoyed GHOST.

It was a quick read leaving me wanting more. I really liked the premise of this novella. I just wish it was a full blown novel. I thought there were many opportunities to expand on the characters, so many chances to build the relationship, build on the attraction.
