Ghost In the Mirror

(Samuel Dexter 01)
by

Faith Gibson

What do you do when you have no memories of your life except the one moment that took everything away?

My name is Dex and I’m a Marine. Somewhere in the horrors of the sand overseas, an explosion took out not only most of my unit but also my memories of everything that happened before that day. When my memories don’t return, the explosion also ends my career in the military. That one moment costs me everything.

Starting from scratch sucks. I don’t even know what foods I like or what types of music I listen to. Am I a boxer or briefs man? Do I like women or men? I also have to figure out what I’m going to do with my life from this point on.

While adjusting to my new life, I start seeing things — things that no one else can see. I think that maybe my head injury caused more than amnesia. When one of my “visions” won’t leave me alone, I have no choice but to believe in ghosts.

Along with the ghosts during the day, at night I dream vividly of two men. But are these two men merely dreams, or are they memories? When one man steps through the door of my hospital room, I have the answer. This man literally tries to lead me down memory lane, culminating in a searing kiss. Too bad my brain isn’t cooperating, because this man is breathtaking.

With the help of my sassy grandmother, I begin to rebuild my life.

I am Samuel Dexter, and these are my stories.

WARNING: This book contains scenes that might be considered triggers for some. Sam is a Marine involved in an explosion. This book also (mildly) describes children being kidnapped in the past and their remains found later.

Review: Okay, so this is going to sound odd. So I explain my rating first. Basically, if there is going to be another book featuring the same characters, then this is a five hearts for me. However, if there isn’t a sequel/follow-up, I’m more inclined to give it a three. In my quest for knowledge, I have not found if there are to be more books. As I said, sounds odd, but I do this for good reason.

If you read the blurb, you see that there are three guys in this love square going on here with Annie. I’m not going to name any names here, so I don’t spoil things! Two of these guys have their stories concluded in very definite ways. The third guy, I feel, just dropped out in the midst of lots of angst, anger and regret. His end was not satisfying, particularly when he was referred to more than once afterwards.

Next thing to get out the way. I normally don’t comment on cover but… come on, that is one hot looking guy on the cover! If only he was more to my mental image of Annie’s brother in law rather than her potential lovers.
There! That’s said and to be quite honest, that was my only real complaint about the book. The previous novella for this series, centres around Annie’s brother, Jesse, and his now partner, the sexy vet Dean. It was great that they were so prominent in this book, but mostly because they were so sweet and supportive when it came to Annie.

The plot of these contains so much melodrama in only 131 pages. The pace of this book just goes along smoothly and doesn’t stop for anyone – even some of the characters. And then it had me in tears, for varying reasons, throughout the book. So well written, I am definitely a convert to Faith Gibson if I hadn’t been after reading Jesse and Dean’s story!

As I said, Annie is the main character and much of this story happens from her perspective. She runs the family bakery with her brother and packs a hell of a lot of secrets! Some are shocking some will be the reason you cry, if do indeed you cry. Then there is Mitch, one of her men that did suffer from the fast pace because he wasn’t featured enough to me.

Although, to be fair he came across as how he was meant to, mysterious and dangerous, I just wanted more of this wonderful teddy bear! This leads us to Marcus and Scott – there’s a lot I could say but I would give away the plot.

These two guys are best friends and both fell in love with Annie in high school. Scott seems to be the hothead of the bunch, but he has some demons in his past, one in particular, is directly related to Marcus and Annie. He’s a sweetie and I really did feel bad for him when he brings up some of the past, and Marcus is really just about in the same book as Scott.

But I won’t say anymore because if I bring up something, it will require explanation which will then give away a very complex read! The complexity used here was great because other than my gripe about one man, metaphorically, being left behind, everything comes together beautifully. I just wish there is going to be a follow-up to properly conclude things! See my frustration? I can’t stop pushing that point. 😉

Anyway, it’s all mystery, romance, sweetness and some hot sex. Hard not to enjoy in my opinion.

Review: This is a novella (?), which follows into Faith Gibson’s book Double Stuffed Eclair. The main characters are Jesse James Dalton and Dean Thomas. Jessie meets Dean, who is the new vet in town now that his uncle is retiring, at his twin sister’s bakery. There is an instant attraction but there are a number of little issues that are contending against them for the time being.

I hate to overuse the words sweet and cute, but that is exactly what this is, probably partly why it was originally written/published as a Valentine’s Day collection. The biggest problem I have is after these guys meet, with some fantastic sexual tension and a massive spark, the story abruptly ends after they have sex.

Some are going to be disappointed by the lack of character development as well as the abrupt end. For example, does Dean come out to his uncle, if not his family? Or does his family not factor as important to this story at all? But don’t be! It might not completely satisfy everyone, but the sequel novel, Double Stuffed Eclair, does feature both Jesse and Dean, even if this novel is about Jesse’s twin, Annie Mae.
