Ghosts are real.

Well, technically speaking, maybe not. But the ones that haunt a man’s soul? Those are very real. So real, in fact, that there are times when Castiel would rather silence them forever in the worst way possible than to go on living with them haunting his every step.

All it took was one single second in time for his attention to drift, and everything changed.
Life as he once knew it, is over.

Now he’s struggling to make sense of the pieces that are left, and he’s fairly sure at least half of them are missing.
He’s living for three things now.

His club—the Bear Bottom Guardians.

His work as a police officer for Bear Bottom Police Department.

And the occasional glimpse of a girl that makes his spirit feel free.

Despite the ghosts that haunt him, he’s not willing to present them with another target. Which is why he has to stay away from her. He can’t touch her. He can’t talk to her. He can’t get anywhere near her.

Not and live with himself afterward.

The only problem is, Turner doesn’t care what Castiel wants. She also has a solution for his ghosts.

You may call her Ms. Ghostbuster.

My Review

★★★★☆

Castiel is a stud.
No, seriously.
They don't call him 'Hot Cop' for nothing.
But he's been burned. He was married to a rich woman with high expectations and after their divorce, he's enjoying his newfound freedom.
He's not interested in being weighed down by another rich woman.
So why can't he get Turner Hooch off his mind?

Turner was once a big girl.
After a successful surgery, she still hasn't come to terms with her newfound hotness.
She's never had a boyfriend. She's never been wanted. She keeps people at a distance so they can't hurt her.
So why does she want to bring Castiel ever closer?

I loved these people. LOVED THEM!! Once they found themselves out of the enemy phase, they meshed together like peanut butter and jelly. When tragedy struck Turner's life, Castiel was there for her every step of the way and I loved how no one even had to ask. No one even questioned the rightness of it. It just was and that's that.

Lani Lynn Vale seems to always create stories that warm my heart. Characters, both male and female, that make me swoon. Plots that dribble a bit of suspense and that are always unique. Themes that will never get old. These are stories that can be read again and again and again. For an enemies-to-lovers tale, Keep It Classy was low on angst, high on feels, and a guaranteed good time.
