Synopsis

Banner Clairmont hated the idea of her beloved Lyonsgate Plantation being sold, even to dashing Rory Stewart, who seemed to know so much about her. But as they toured the grounds before that evening's costume ball, she sensed the house welcoming the intruder, sharing its secrets. Rory was fascinated by the estate, and even more by his lovely guide. But who, he wondered aloud, were the early guests—the soldiers in rebel uniform, the ladies in crinolines—and why was Banner so shocked when he pointed them out? That evening he knew he must understand the puzzle of the mansion's past before he could love its mistress. Then at midnight, destiny joined their hands—for didn't family legend say that whoever led the final waltz would always live at Lyonsgate?

Another reprint from author Kay Hooper. "Rebel Waltz" was originally published as a 'Loveswept' title in 1986. These two facts (date and publisher) should give you plenty of warning as to the tone and heat index of the book. I confess that I did enjoy it, but that was mostly because I was prepared f......more

I wish I could give half stars, this is def a 3.5 book but not quite a 4 book. Charming story about a plantation home with ghosts. Only some people can see the ghosts tho-and never the hosts .

I struggled through some of this book because some things were a little cheesy. Sometimes the male was a tad bit possessive and honestly didnt make sense to me. But the story as a whole was cute. The ghosts were my favorite.......more
