Spirits of the Heart: A Haunted Voice Romance: A Contemporary Gothic Romance Novel (Haunted Romance) Kindle Edition
Addiction counselor Laura Horton returns from college to move in with an old friend and start her career. But her homecoming is jarring. Her friend moves out, leaving Laura alone with the gorgeous but intimidating ex-boyfriend—in a house that snugs up to an ancient graveyard.
Officer Miller Stanford is a man with a shattered past. His alcoholic dad destroyed their family, a weakness Miller is terrified will consume him too. The last thing he needs is a sexy, blonde addiction counselor watching his every move. When he begins to see specters in the dark, he starts questioning his own stability.
But Laura sees her too—a pathetic child-spirit searching for her father. Then Laura starts digging into old asylum records . . . Can Miller and Laura uncover the secrets of Talcott Hall without jeopardizing their love—and lives—in the process?

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Author Claire Gem tackles issues of family ties, alcoholism, medical malpractices, homelessness, and trust, beautifully throughout the novel. The emphasis on all these concerns is interestingly merged with the storyline. This novel is un-put-down-able. Each line, every page of the story will pulsate the reader's curiosity. The tempo of the book is- undiluted suspense. At no point can the reader guess how it all would turn out.
Spirits of the Heart is engrossing!
Judiciously set as a haunted novel, Spirits of the Heart explores the unknown - the paranormal...encourages the readers to unravel mysteries rather than to succumb to fear. The feeling: 'everything happens for a reason' is appropriately predominant throughout the novel.
Spirits of the Heart most definitely deserves a 5 Star!"

Firstly, I have to commend the author on her beautiful writing. The story flowed with incredible ease and I found it immensely enjoyable. The spooky parts weren't at all scary and far from being disappointed, I was totally immersed. At times I thought the pacing was a little slow and an element of repetitiveness crept in but otherwise this was a solid, delightful read worthy of a place on anyone's bookshelf.
Thanks to author Claire Gem for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I loved this well-written book. The author has a real knack for making the reader invest in the emotions of her flawed, realistic characters.
Mysterious Book Report No. 342
by John Dwaine McKenna and June Lynn McKenna
As the by-line shows, this will be a different—and special—MBR. It’s not within our usual purview of crime and punishment, or murder and mayhem, nor even an exploration of the dark side of human nature. Instead, it’s a goose-pimple inducing paranormal ghost and romance story which takes place at an addiction treatment center in Middletown, New York. It’s a place that was once an institution for the criminally insane. And because it’s for all of the ladies in the audience who aren’t hard-boiled crime enthusiasts, June Lynn McKenna has gallantly offered a woman’s perspective . . . so-you-know-who doesn’t screw-it-up.
Spirits of the Heart, (Erato Publishing, PB, $13.95, 312 pages, ISBN 978-0-9974326-4-0) by Frances Brown writing as Claire Gem, is part of her ongoing Haunted Voices series, and is, in our opinion, the best one so far. It begins when Laura Horton returns from grad school in North Carolina to Middletown, New York; the place where she was born and raised. Laura’s got a new degree, a new job as an addiction counselor, and not a dollar to her name. She does have a plan though, to move into a spare room at her high school friend Angie’s house, where she lives with her boyfriend, Miller Stanford. Then, after Laura gets a paycheck or two, she’ll find her own apartment and move out. But . . . as every writer of fiction knows . . . the easiest way to make God laugh, is to make plans. When Laura rolls into town flat broke, her car coasting on fumes, expecting a warm reunion with her gal-pal, she’s met at the door by a grumpy, half naked and towel wrapped hunk of manhood. Angie, Miller tells Laura, has moved out, and relocated to Tampa, Florida. Laura is devastated, out of options and stuck in a “puke green, two-story house” that sits right beside the cemetery of the old insane asylum, with a man who doesn’t want her there. Miller and Laura come to an agreement of sorts, she can stay . . . but . . . it’s his house, his rules. Laura tries her best to comply, but their relationship gets more and more strained, as strange, weird and unexplainable events start to happen on a regular basis. Then, Miller see the ghost of a little girl and thinks he’s losing it. But Laura sees her too, in this vivid, suspenseful and romance-filled novel from the award-winning pen of one of the hottest romance and supernatural fiction writers in the country. Claire Gem’s Spirits of the Heart will keep you glued to each and every page, until your glasses get too steamed to read!
