Timeless Desire: A Paranormal Romance Short Story Kindle Edition

Emily arrives at Westbury Hall with a job to do. She’s to clean and conserve all of the books in their impressive library, preserving them for future generations. Not long into her stay at the house, she bumps into the night guard, George. She’d expected an old, balding guy with a comb over, so the hunky chap she actually meets is a very pleasant surprise. The introductions complete, George leaves Emily in peace to get on with her job. But when a falling photograph sets off a chain reaction of ghostly events, Emily and George are thrown together in order to find out who—or what—is causing them. Their investigation uncovers a tragic past, a lost love, and a stunning secret.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a revised and extended version of a previously published title, Love Through Time.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is a great quick read that has a touch of the paranormal and of course romance. Its the perfect length to fit in a busy scheduled without skimping on character development or story line. I like that even though this is a shorter story that each character is fully developed and that it doesn't have that short story feel (like something is missing)." 5 out of 5, Belinda's Bookshelf

"I really enjoyed this short paranormal story. I was hoping that not only would Emily and George find the answers they were looking for as to why strange things were happening only to Emily, but also I found myself wishing that the attraction these two had for each other would possible blossom into something romantic for them. If you're looking for a short story to fit into your busy schedule, look no further. This was well worth the read!" 4 out of 5, Night Owl Reviews

"...a cute little love story, with the promise of an HEA ending at some point in the future... I read it at Halloween, which seemed appropriate, but it's a good story any time." 4 out of 5, Manic Readers

"This was a fun and short read, filled with the perfect mix of history and star-crossed lovers trapped between worlds. I loved the concept of the story, the amount of history, and the gentle essence of dedicated love that flows from the pages. Ms. Felthouse has written a wonderful novella filled with suspense, undying love, and drama." 4 out of 5, At Your Fingertips

5.0 out of 5 stars A Haunted Library Love Story!
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2017
A Haunted Library Love Story!

This is a short standalone title at a little over an hour and a half. It’s sweet, a bit heart wrenching, with a little bit of steam thrown in.

There is a note with this title that states its a revised and extended version of a previously published title, Love Through Time.

♥ Story ♥
Emily Stone is a book conservator called to Westbury Manor to help organize and preserve their large library. Shortly after she arrives she meets their conveniently hot and sexy night guard George. Because that happens all the time, right?

Then before you know it, there is pictures being knocked over and a secret haunting comes to light. Apparently that wasn’t disclosed in the job description. This sets our two characters up to work in tight quarters while they try to unravel the mystery of why the things go bump in the night.

We all know what that leads too!

The story they uncover will break your heart a little. I for one could of used just a little more closure on it, but not for sure what more she could of wrote.

This is a light story with a little bit of steam at the end. A great read/listen for when you need a brain break from some of the harsher ones.

♥ Author ♥
I’ve listened and rated/reviewed several other Lucy Felthouse tales and this one did not disappoint. I find that even though many of her title are listed as “Erotica” they can often be quite tame. They make for a pleasant in between read when you need a palate cleanser. She writes great stories, long or short, with intriguing characters and plots.

♥ Narrator(s) ♥
This is my first listen to Louisa Middleton and the only title listed on her Audible page. That does not mean that she has not narrated anything else, exactly. Many Narrators use different names for different genres. I do not know if this is the case for Louisa Middleton.

She did a good job with this title and her accent is quite cute. It works for a shy librarian type. Her male voice did not lack as he came off fairly dreamy.

The production quality needed a boost in speed. At least on my audible player. An increase of 1 to 2 ticks is all that is needed and it fixed it right up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Short and sweet PNR
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2019
Emily was hired to help organize a library and in doing so, she finds that the library is haunted. The security guard, George, and she went to find out why the ghost is haunting the library. So this was a fun story with a mystery in a paranormal setting, along with a bit of romance and steam towards the end. Short and sweet, this was a fun listen.

I listened to the audiobook. Louisa Middleton had a really really slow voice- I had to put it to 2x in order for it to sound natural to me (it may be the New Yorker in me!). Sped up, she does a good job telling her story, with good cadence. Her male voice wasn’t extremely differentiated from the female voice so I sometimes wasn’t sure who was “speaking”.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect short, spooky story!
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2014
Copy received from author .....

I have not read the original story that this evolved from.

A very quick (about half an hour to read) ghost story, set in an old Country Manor. Set to work on cleaning the books in the library Jane soon realises she is not alone (there is a part where she is on a ladder and has the sensation of being touched on the leg - my cat brushed past my leg when I was reading this part and I shot out my chair!!)

George, the young, handsome and totally not an OAP nightwatchman tells Jane of William the resident ghost and the pair set about helping him pass over. Once the ghostbusting is over for the night Jane & George make use of the old desk in the libary!!

Although a short story Lucy's descriptive writing always puts me in the book - having spent most of my childhood visiting our nations great houses helped too - you can perfectly imagaine the gloom, the dust,the smell old houses seem to retain and that feeling that you are not alone!

Perfect book to read over your fly cup (as we call Elevenses in NE Scotland!)

This is a great quick read that has a touch of the paranormal and of course romance. Its the perfect length to fit in a busy scheduled without skimping on character development or story line.

Timeless Desire is the story of Emily (who has my dream job-surrounded by books), George (the hunky night watchman), and William (the heartbroken ghost) and the night they meet. I like that even though this is a shorter story that each character is fully developed and that it doesn't have that short story feel (like something is missing).

The book is about Emily. Her job to clean and preserve books, lands her at Westbury Hall’s Libary. There she encounters strange events. Together with security guard, George, they have to solve some ghost mysteries. This leads to some bonding between Emily and George.

This was a fun, quick, read. And, I was able to get through it in one sitting (about half an hour). Both the writing and story was excellent!
