Forever and One Week (Spirits of Saoradh #2)
by Caroline Cairn
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Age category: Adult
Release Date: 24 April, 2016
The Spirits of Saoradh, who carry the guilt of a crime they committed when they were alive, now spend their ghostly days in the Void, dark nothingness where time and space are distorted. Until they get bound to a human. As often as needed, that human can call them to the real world, ask them to grant a wish, then send them back to the Void. The Spirits also have to follow strict rules or be punished, unaware that they can earn their redemption through a selfless sacrifice.
Spirit Logan despises the obedience he has to show to his humans, and prefers the enjoyable solitude of the Void. For three years, he has managed to threaten them into severing their bond, thus having his memory wiped of their existence. Except his latest human, an emotionless woman with a secret past, isn’t scared of him. Worse, she doesn’t care about his ability to make wishes come true.
Tessa, a twenty-six-year-old nursery teacher in Fort William, Scotland, doesn’t expect a sullen ghost only she can see and touch to burst through her solid defences. Both dismayed and intrigued, she offers Logan a deal he can’t refuse: to live with her in the human world for one week, at the end of which she will agree to release him.
Slowly, Tessa braves through the safety of her detachment towards people to show Logan some kindness. But the more her feelings deepen, the more Logan increases his distance…

4.5 SPIRITED Stars!
*I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review*
I have sort of fell into this reading slump where I only read non-paranormal fiction. The idea of vampires, werewolves and other mythical/fairy tale creatures were not tempting enough to pull me out of my hole. Harsh, I know, but I was so exhausted with work that I just could not muster the energy to delve into the world of paranormal fiction. Don't get me wrong, they are one of my fav genres! But I just could not afford to pick up a paranormal book without expecting an all nighter, early working hours forced me away. (Just admit it Natasha, you're getting old!)
I have never been more glad for a long weekend. On the day I decided to pick up Forever and One Week is the day my passion for paranormal romance was reignited! Everything about the book screamed "DON'T-YOU-DARE-PUT-ME-DOWN!". From the start, I was pulled into the mysterious world of the spirit void, mortal bonds, and wishes-granting ghosts (that are hot rather than creepy).
(My dream Logan ❤)
Having not read the first book of the series, I was initially confused with the terms used in the book, but as the story progressed, everything fell into place and fit perfectly into the missing puzzle pieces in my mind. Forever and One Week is a cross breeding of Aladdin and the Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon, a dark fairy tale that is guaranteed to make your head wonder.
Cairn's writing was realistically amazing. I loved Tessa for her inner strength and courage despite the life she was forced into. I loved Logan's ferocious protectiveness towards his family, even though he was dealt with a hand of nasty fate. I loved how the theme of the book revolved around second chances and true love. It's never easy to see behind the mask to discover the true beauty that lies within. Remarkable story, great romance. Recommending to you paranormal lovers out there!
Just have to create a fan art!!

First book in the series:
Forever Hers (Spirits of Saoradh #1)
by Caroline Cairn
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Age category: Adult
Release Date: November 27, 2015
Feisty twenty-four-year old Holly, or Miss Greedy as her friends call her, receives a wooden cube as a gift from an enigmatic elderly lady who happens to be her mother’s new neighbour in Lossiemouth, a small Scottish fishing town. What she doesn’t expect, is for the cube to contain Blayne, a Spirit of Saoradh only she can see and touch.
Blayne is a playful, headstrong ghost with no recollection of his human past and an ability to grant Holly’s wishes whenever she calls for him — as long as said wishes don’t raise any questions from the public that is. So a shiny new car might be out of the question, but the possibility of a flat stomach, a consistently spotless house or a perfect daily hairstyle more than make up for it. Through their incessant banter, Holly and Blayne grow closer while fighting against their mutual attraction since they have no possible future together.
But when the painful reality of Blayne’s existence is revealed, Holly will realize that it’s not always the girl who needs to be saved.

Born and raised in France, Caroline Cairn studied hotel management before spending a couple of years in England, Ireland and Belgium. In 2001, she and her husband settled close to the Loch Ness monster in the Highlands of Scotland, and soon, two children and about thirteen fish joined them.
Dramatic scenes are still her favourite to work on, which is perhaps a reminiscence of her teenage years when every single ones of her stories had to end in epic tragedy (Shakespeare had nothing on her).
Thankfully, these days, she veers towards the happy-ever-after finale in a glorious orange and red sunset.
