In this fast paced world of free love and sex, it's refreshing to come across a romance with no sex. Such was the case of Marie Higgins book Hearts Through Time. This was a tender, sometimes humorous, love story about a ghost from 1912 and a reformed playboy lawyer. Abigail Carlisle is stuck for a hundred years in a building formerly owned by her father. She enlists the help of Nick Marshal - a reformed playboy, who rents space in the building, and is the only one who can see her. Of course it took a bit of time to convince him she was really a ghost. But she finally manages. Through the course of his investigation - which isn't easy by the way - after all it is a hundred year old murder - they fall more and more in love. With every clue uncovered, she becomes more and more alive. Without giving more away, I can only say from page one I couldn't stop reading. A real page turner. I really enjoyed this book. It is refreshing to read a romance that doesn't have explicit sex scenes. Proof that a romance book can be enjoyable without them. Kudos to Ms Higgins.
