Reviewed by FernAs the resident medium for Southern Kansas Haunts, Caleb Ryan is used to overacting for the camera. He hates it, but the show pays well. The small city of Tory, Kansas, doesn’t have much more to offer, even though he longs for something… real.
Scott Pennington, heir to an aging farm on the outskirts of Tory, desperately needs help. When no other groups will talk to him so close to Christmas, he turns to the crew of the local ghost-hunting show, Southern Kansas Haunts.

Caleb hopes this “investigation” pays off, but he quickly finds more than he bargains for at the old Pennington farm.
When Scott had left his tiny Kansas hometown he’d never expected to return. But when his uncle dies and leaves Scott the property, he thinks it will be easy to clean it up and sell it then move on. Scott wasn’t planning on the resident ghost who was ruining the resale prices. So Scott reluctantly asks local mini-celebrity Caleb Ryan – who has his own ghost hunting reality tv series – to get rid of the ghost. Pretty soon both Scott and Caleb are interested in far more than just cleaning out the old house.
I found this to be a interesting and slightly scary/gothic style of short story. I really liked how Scott and Caleb didn’t just immediately jump each others bones. While the attraction and chemistry was certainly there I loved how the author gave the feeling of far more depth to this story. I enjoyed seeing a little more than just the start of Caleb and Scott’s relationship – like Caleb’s reality tv series and even the history of Scott’s uncle’s old house and how it came to be. These extra aspects of the story didn’t feel like padding to me, but interesting depth to the story as a whole and really helped me get a good mental picture of what was happening.
Readers looking for a Christmassy style of story might not find this to their tastes. While the story is set around Christmas time the ghost hunting and relationship between the men takes center-stage for most of the story. Also, much of the history of the house wasn’t pretty – abusive parents and a lot of family unhappiness, but none of this was dwelled upon or given explicit detail so I felt the story remained firmly in the “bump in the night” style of story and didn’t flirt over the line into a horror or thriller story. I thoroughly enjoyed the extra attention the author gave to these aspects and it helped add to my enjoyment of the story as a whole.
Obviously I loved the romance and sexy shenanigans between Caleb and Scott. The two men were smoking hot and not afraid to go after what they each wanted. I admit the jumps between the two men having hot sex and the sadder explanations behind the ghost and haunted aspect of Scott’s uncle’s home felt a little jarring to me at times, but overall I enjoyed the romance and relationship that flourished between the two men.
With interesting characters, plenty of chills and plot and some smoking hot sex this I thought this was a good and strong short story.
