WELL IT'S SATURDAY

  Good day peeps, took a break from all the Christmas baking I need to get done and decided to read a quick read. THE LOST SHIP book 5 in the Midlife Mysteries series by Hp Mallory. 


                          BOOK BLURB



 PHILIPPA:

When a mysterious ship believed to be lost at sea for a decade suddenly appears in the London docks without any sign of her crew nor captain, all of London is abuzz.
But I can’t imagine anyone is more enthralled with this mystery than I am.
And once I see the impressive ship? Well, I can’t explain this overarching desire I have to simply touch it!
But once I make contact with the ship’s hull, I’m overcome with my own excitement and simply faint clean away!
And when I awake?
I’m in the custody of Captain Arthur Giles.
And Captain Giles is not only handsome, but he’s kind, attentive and perhaps the most romantic man I’ve ever met.
But I’m also fairly certain he’s guarding a secret…
Yes, there’s a loneliness that characterizes the captain and one that calls to the loneliness within me.

GRANT:

I don’t know what the bloody hell is going on with the ship that just moored itself in the docks, but it’s a mystery I need to figure out posthaste.
And whoever this blasted captain is who has his eyes set on Philippa…
Well, I don’t like that or him one bit.
Perhaps the biggest surprise in store for me though is the moment I realize I need the help of none other than the reprobate William Spencer.
For I believe Philippa has gotten herself embroiled in something far beyond her understanding…


                      MY REVIEW 
 
 Things were going along great, Philippa got William back from the garden and everyone is getting along ok. Until the day a mysterious ship comes into the harbour and Inspector Sterling is off to investigate and yes Philippa and Willam follow him to the ship. Grant is trying to figure out how this ship came in and who the heck is Captain Arthur Giles . He has set his eyes on Phillipa and she seems to have fallen under his spell. What she doesn't know is the secret that the captain is hiding and both William and Grant must find a way to break the spell that Phillipa is under before she disappears forever. 

  Now it is up to the boys to save Philippa from a ghost that is charming her into staying with him on the boat.  William is well kind of scared that he will never see his friend again. He is working hard at trying to figure out why she will not wake up . Grant is coming to terms with a few things like he finally realizes that he can't live with out Philippa and that he is in love with her. They come together and fight for Philippa in so many ways . Each of them in their own way. Love how each character changes and grows with each book that comes out 

  This is a fun fast read, that I had done in a couple of hours . I was surprised to see our main character in trouble this time and the men in her life having to figure out and fight to get her back This book really dives deeper into the paranormal side of things  There is a lot more romance also in this book that will have you all happy and blushing . The characters are really becoming very well written and complex . Each of the evolving with each book . I am truly liking this series and can't wait to see what happens next . Will Grant and Philippa ever get together or will William and her gifts always come between them . You will have to read to find out . They are fun fast reads that will have you wanting more.Check out this series you will like it
