The romance is a strong theme in the book but it is equaled by family, friendship and at times humour. This book is foremost a ghost story and a chilling one at that. I've reread an number of Nora Robert's books and series a number of times such as the Cousins O'Dwyers, the Guardians and a few of the standalones especially Come Sundown which I've reread three times now! Although Nora Roberts' books are listed as Romance they are must more layered and complex than that. I loved this book first time round and loved it even more the second time. Some have stood the test of time others have failed miserably! I was surprised which ones that failed as some are were and still are popular.
