Despite the cover this is not a historical romance. The paranormal aspect was the fact that the two characters are reincarnated old lovers. It's very contemporary in that there's not truly an 'evil' character and the plot is very basic and uneventful. But in a way this allows the focus to be on the characters and we're able to see a little deeper into what makes them tick. It's reveal about half way through the book that despite the heroine's cheerfulness and positivity she suffers from Agoraphobia which becomes known when she refuses to leave he house during a hurricane. The hero isn't mucho or possessive but honestly just a normal guy. It was defiantly a change of pace from what I normally read but not an unwelcome one. ( )
