From Booklist

*Starred Review* Writing as Castle, the best-selling Jayne Ann Krentz creates another bewitching story set in the world of Harmony, a future planet of psychics and ghost hunters. If Elly St. Clair knew she was going to need Cooper Boone's help, she might have been nicer when she broke up with him. Instead, furious that Cooper had not only been involved in a duel over her but for all the wrong reasons, Elly gave Cooper back his ring, told him in no uncertain terms they were through, and left Aurora Springs for Cadence City. Then, when her good friend and neighbor Bertha Newell mysteriously disappears in the catacombs, Elly reluctantly admits that she needs the services of a hunter like Cooper. Fortunately, Cooper just happens to be in town, and he offers to help find Bertha. What Elly doesn't know is that Cooper never considered their engagement to be officially terminated. Castle's new futuristic romance brilliantly blends exceptionally entertaining characters, witty prose, and a thrilling paranormal-tinged plot in a sublime novel of romantic suspense.

From AudioFile

Breaking her engagement to Cooper Boone hurts botanist Elly St. Clair, but she can't settle for a marriage of convenience. Starting over in a new city isn't easy either, but Elly succeeds. Then a new friend disappears, and Elly's both surprised and relieved when Cooper helps with her search. Besides, having him around has other benefits. Laural Merlington's slightly raspy voice is well suited to this passionate, otherworldly romance. Elastic enough to encompass the gruffness of Elly's father, Cooper's dry, even tones, Elly's more expressive utterances, and the voices of several incidental characters, Merlington's voice leaves the listener wishing that Elly's pet bunny had been given dialogue.
