Tourmentin by Michelle Cornwell-Jordan
Book Blurb: Emile and
Serafine loved at first sight believing in their fairytale ending. But fate and
darkness from Emile’s past separate the lovers, with Emile being trapped in an
alternate time, imprisoned in the 1800’s by his former lover the sultry
Isadora. Isadora is convinced that she and Emile belong together and also as
the old saying goes… believes if she cannot have Emile, then no one can.
Time moves forward and Emile’s beloved Serafine dies, but she promises to find her true love again. Love’s promise is realized, when Serafine is reborn into the modern age and has returned to the French Quarter and to the very hotel where her Emile still remains frozen in time.
The lovers reunite, only to face an evil which vows to destroy them once and for all.

My Thoughts - 3 to 4 out of 5 stars - Good story, just too
tame for me :)
This review is tough for me because it is a beautiful story,
but it just didn’t do anything for me.
It was much too tame for me. It
is a story where true love never dies in New Orleans thanks to Hoodoo. It has old world charm just like the French
Quarter does with a handsome ghost who Melissa dreams of. It is very sweet and well written. It reminds me of my trips to New Orleans and
the French Quarter. I remember hearing
about the ghost stories from the trolley operator, and this reminded me of
those stories. I think if you like
historical type romances with a ghost twist that you would love this story.
