The visit from beyond the grave that changed their lives forever... Artist Ryan Monroe had everything he wanted and then in a blink of an eye, he lost what mattered most of all, his soul-mate, Victor. Tortured by an overwhelming sense of grief and unable to move on, his pain spills out, reflected in the blood red hues of his paintings. Paul Goldman thought he'd found the love of his life in Evan, his beloved pianist. Their mutual passion for music was outweighed only by their passion for one another.

Now it's two years later and something, someone, is bringing them together. Two men, two loves, two great losses...and one hot ghost. Giving up the Ghost by G.A.

Giving Up the Ghost is not the usual G.A. Hauser's novel: no british brat and no cops...

If the blurb had not already revealed the secret, I would not have said it, but since it's pretty clear readind it... Ryan has lost his lover 2 years before on Christmas night. He is still grieving and he has no intention to stop. But someone else is not of the same idea: Evan appears on his doors and makes feel Ryan feeling long ago buried. But Evan is not real, he is a ghost: he is dead the same day of Victor, Ryan's lover, and now he wants that Ryan meets and loves Paul, his lover. It's like a gift that Evan wants to leave to his beloved and Ryan is the right man.

The first part of the book is almost all spent describing Ryan and Evan's relationship: Paul is only a name, a side character. And actually, even if Ryan is sexually attracted by Evan, the ghost doesn't make a move on him: he tries only to convince Ryan that he is ready to love again.

If I have to be sincere, of all the characters involved, Ryan, Evan, Paul and also Victor (who has a little role himself), I like best Evan. All right, he has to put together Ryan and Paul, but for all the book I waited to read of him and felt sorry for him and for his sad fate.

Ryan is a good character: he is almost funny in his naivete, he did things that you, from the reader point of you, could only think as totally wrong: had he say all? couldn't he only meet Paul, love him, and take Evan a secret? Oh, no, he has to tell to Paul all till the more little detail and risk to lose him.

And Paul? Why he is always so ready to think bad? why he has always to shut up like a clam? fortunately he is also ready to rethink and to step backwards.

Pity that we don't have the chance to know better Victor: maybe of all the character, he would be the more steady (even if he is a ghost...)

Giving Up the Ghost is a sweet romance, with a lingering taste of sadness. And reading it, try not to be too sympathetic with Evan, remember, Ryan is not for him but for Paul...
