Description:
Boneyard Key, Florida, is the only home Sophie has ever known. Her love for its supernatural history has flourished into a career, as she guides the one and only ghost tour through the town’s can’t-miss haunted spots. And while her bank account isn’t full by any means, her heart is. Or at least, it was.

But there’s a newcomer in town. The son of a Fortune 500 businessman, former theater kid Tristan has grown his tours from a fraternity fundraiser to a multicity ghost tour conglomerate. It’s doing well, but not well enough—if he can’t prove that he’s solidly in the black by the fall, Dad’s going to pull his funding, spelling the end of his career. Boneyard Key, with its haunted reputation, seems like the perfect place to boost his bottom line.

When the two ghost tours clash, Sophie’s expletive-filled rant goes viral, and the rivals strike up a deal. Whoever has the most successful business by summer’s end stays, while the loser must ghost. But the more Tristan comes to appreciate Boneyard Key, the more Sophie comes to appreciate Tristan, and what starts as begrudging respect becomes something spicier. Can they put their feuding businesses aside to make room for a chance at love, or is Boneyard Key too small for two ghost tours?

Review:

Ghost Business by Jen DeLuca is the 2^nd book in her Boneyard Key series. Sophie, our heroine, has been handling her historically accurate ghost tours for many years; sharing stories about the souls that lived in their town

Tristan arrives in town to open up his own ghost tour company, not knowing that someone else (Sophie) has been doing this for years.  His Ghouls Night Out tour, centers on mostly fake stories; Tristan does make fun using different concepts; as Sophie tells accurate stories.  The competition between them escalates, though one tour focuses on history and other is mostly jokes.   

In a short time, despite their tour differences, Tristan and Sophie begin to have strong feelings for each other, as it started out as enemies to lovers. Tristan began to love Boneyard Key, finding new friends, with the locals beginning to accept him; especially him falling for Sophie.  When a hurricane struck Boneyard Key, Tristan’s place was destroyed, and Sophie brought Tristan to her place until the damage was eventually fixed. I really loved that they found each other.

Tristan was very sweet, friendly and wonderful. Sophie knew she was falling in love with Tristan, as their relationship grew. I really liked Tristan and Sophie, as they were fun and cute together.  I loved many of the characters, who were great.

Ghost Business was a charming, cute, cozy small town, with a bit of paranormal; was a slow burn romance, that was a lighthearted romantic, funny and emotional.  Ghost Business was so very well written by Jen DeLuca.
