CHLOE'S SPIRIT (Book 1) (76,620 words)

Earthly and otherworldly spirits collide for the ride of a lifetime. . .

There’s more ticking at Chloe Faust’s house than the cuckoo in the living room and her own biological clock. Sure, she wants a baby, but with no Mr. Right in sight, the only good solution seems to be medical science. Adept at juggling more than one project at a time, Chloe also wants to find out who really killed her great-great-great aunt.

With the baby issue resolved, Chloe will have to rely on her own methods to get the real facts about her aunt’s death. To help with that, she signs up to take a criminal investigation class, where she meets the substitute teacher, Homicide Detective Marsh Fielding.


Really? Mr. Right is teaching the class? Life just isn’t fair!

Marsh thinks the stunner in the back row is a little bit nuts, poking into a murder that’s over a century old. He figures he must be a little crazy himself, because he agrees to help her.

As if their relationship isn’t facing enough complications, life takes an unlikely turn when Marsh visits Chloe’s house for the first time…

Ann Simas lives in Oregon, but she is a Colorado girl at heart, having grown up in the Rocky Mountains. She has been an avid reader since childhood and penned her first fiction "book" in high school.

Simas currently has 42 books in print. All are available in both paperback and in ebook format.

An award-winning watercolorist and a budding photographer, Ann also enjoys needlework and gardening in her spare time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great paranormal

Chloe's Spirit was a great paranormal romance novel. It was very creative and well written. I haven't read another book like it. I really enjoyed reading this book and can't wait to read more from this author. I could not put it down. Just a fantastic read.

Chloe is facing her 30th birthday and with no man in sight that she wants to marry, she decides to turn to science to give her a baby. She also signs up for a criminal investigation class to help her solve her great, great, great aunts murder. Her best friend, however, happens to be the ghost of said aunt.

Marsh has taken over teaching the criminal investigation class. He doesn't expect to be attract to the woman in his class who seems a little nuts, trying to reopen a case that's over a century old. He agrees to help her out though, and is in for a shock when he goes to her house for the first time.

This was a fun paranormal romance. It was well written and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it.

HERO: Marsh Fielding, 34 -- Cop. Untrusting of women and determined to never settle down. From a large Irish-Catholic family to whom he is close. I didn't always love him. He was a little bit hard to deal with at some points.

HEROINE: Chloe Faust, 29 -- Freelance crime writer. Complete distrust regarding cops and men. Wants a baby.

MAJOR SECONDARY CHARACTER: Mary MacFee, 129+ -- Ghost.

PLOT: Chloe has been convinced by Mary, her resident ghost, to solve Mary's murder. Jamie, Mary's fiance, was hanged for the crime over 100 years ago, but Mary is sure he didn't do it. Chloe has signed up for a criminal justice class at the local community college to gain some skills and assistance in this investigation. What she gets is Marsh Fielding, the detective teaching the class. The sparks fly from the first meeting, but both are wary of relationships. Marsh doesn't even believe that Mary is a ghost until most of the way through the book. Together, they investigate Mary's murder, falling in love along the way. However, their differing views on children and long-term relationships cause trouble for them.

BOOK: Standalone as far as I can tell though there are some potential threads for a series. Full length.

POV: dual first person

SETTING: Salem, Oregon

HEAT LEVEL: moderate, 3/5 - a few sexy scenes

ENDING: HEA, a little bit abrupt, epilogue -- one year later

OTHER COMMENTS: There were a couple of thoughts or ideas that were brought up that weren't seen through to the end. They were mostly in passing, ​but they were not satisfactorily tied up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome read!

I absolutely loved this book. At first I was a bit confused in the preface and chapter 1 but very soon I was caught up and totally captured by the story which was like two stories in one book. First the story of Mary's death or murder really, but the mystery of who killed her and if it was really Jaime. Then the story of Chole abs her biological clock running smack into the dreamy detective teaching the class she's taking hoping it will aid her in solving her dear ghost friends murder, and to top it off her biological clock wants the hunky detective to be her babies Daddy.

I am really loving every Ann Simas book I read. Her stories are so thorough and her characters are so real. The stories are so detailed you can actually see it playing out in your mind as a movie while you're reading it. 

Definitely 5 stars here!

I really enjoyed reading this book. The Prologue sets the scene for the book and pulls you in. Chloe is living with the spirit of her great-great-great aunt that was murdered over 100 years ago. Mary, the spirit, is by far one of the most fascinating spirits I have ever read about. She has convinced Chloe that she must solve her murder and absolve her fiance that was wrongfully hung for her murder. Chloe takes a criminal justice class and meets Marsh, a local detective. Marsh and Chloe immediately are drawn to one another and Marsh agrees to help Chloe attempt to solve the murder. This is a mystery with a few romantic scenes thrown it. The scenes are so well written that you feel are in the room with the characters. I loved the ending and the Epilogue.

Chloe’s best friend is a 19 year old ghost that has been stuck in the family house for over 100 years. Chloe is trying to help Mary find her real killer and exonerate her fiancé who was hung for the crime back in 1901. In comes Marsh, a homicide detective who agrees to help Chloe, even though he doesn’t believe in ghosts.

I found this book very entertaining. I loved the characters, the humor, the story line, everything. I couldn’t put it down once I started reading. My only complaint is that it was to short. I would have loved to keep reading about Chloe and Marsh. I can’t wait to read the follow-up stories to this book.

First, I would like to thank Ann Simas for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

I really enjoyed reading Chloe’s Spirit by Ann Simas. It was a little bit of Mystery, Romance and a little Paranormal thrown into the mix. I am a big fan of mysteries so this definitely captured my attention and held it throughout the book. Plus, Ann Simas is a great author.

I was hooked at the first paragraph in the prologue of the book. The description of the crime that was being committed sucked me into the book. Ann had amazing details as well in the scene. I felt as if I was in the room watching it all unfold.

I totally loved all the characters in the book and how they were all relatable. Chloe and Marsh Fielding were my ultimate two fave characters in the whole book. Their chemistry was amazing and out of this world.

Chloe's determined to help the ghost of Mary find justice for a murder her fiance did not commit many years ago. Marsh, a homicide detective, agrees to help her. Their chemistry is amazing, but can he give Chloe the one thing she truly wants? This book kept me captivated throughout. I highly recommend it!

I was gifted a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
