Summary

Peter Thorne has a secret—he can bring the dead back to life. When Peter’s mother died, she passed him the touch of life and made him promise to use his abilities wisely. Unable to bring her back and afraid of being caught or causing too much imbalance in the world, Peter vowed to use his gift only on plants. After all, with people, sometimes dead is better.

Or at least that's what Peter thinks, until he takes a gardening job at Benes Manor. The mystery of a missing girl, an old gothic home, and the whispers and tempting caresses of a ghost in his room lead him to delve deeper into his powers than ever before. Perhaps he can find the missing girl and the origins of his ghostly visitor. If only he knew who to trust—and who and what to touch.

Gardening with a Ghost is a standalone novel, originally part of the MM paranormal romance multi-author collaboration Haunted Love.

Wow, what an original and imaginative spin on a ghost story, and I loved everything about it, from Amanda Meuwissen’s wonderful writing story to the fascinating characters and storylines she created to the perfectly cast narrators who bring it all to life from the pages to your ears. Peter Thorne has a supernatural ability, an ability to bring the dead back to life with a touch of his hands. He is careful not to reveal this gift or touch anyone. His gift extends to plant life too, so he is great at bringing gardens back to life and made a career out of it. His next gardening job brings him to the Benes Manor, which has been empty for almost 40 years. He lives with the family while restoring the neglected garden, a family grieving for their young daughter, Delia, who disappeared and is presumed dead. Peter senses a spirit in the house and he thought it was Delia’s spirit, but it wasn’t her, it was Arthur Benes, who died forty years earlier. Peter thinks Arthur may know what happened to Delia, and talks to him, but he does not know or remember much, but Peter will try to help him remember. This story drew me like no other and once I started, I could not put it down because I needed to know what happened next. The story is a cleverly plotted paranormal whodunit mm romance, and I loved how it all played out. What started out with Peter trying to find out what happened to Delia expands to Arthur too, and how he died. There is never a dull moment in this book, it is has plenty of drama, a touch of angst, mystery, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Amanda Meuwissen, thank you for this fabulous story. 

🎧📚🎧 And for the amazing narration, Kevin Earlywine, Curtis Michael Holland and Amanda Meuwissen are entertaining storytellers and versatile voice artists. The production of the audiobook was well done, with Earlywine covering the narrative and Peter’s narrative, Holland covers the other male role’s narrative and Meuwissen covers the female roles. A seamless production that enhances the already amazing story to another level. They set the perfect tone for the story, capture all the characters’s emotions and project them into their performance. This talented multi-cast production was a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this fabulous listen.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I’ve listened to other audiobooks performed by Kevin Earlywine and really enjoyed and he did great job on this one. Curtis Michael Holland is new to me and I thought he did a great job. The story held my attention and had more than a few surprises.

The sample is great for both of the male narrators but doesn’t have any of the female voice. I’ve listened to another audiobook that Amanda Meuwissen wrote and performed (Octopi My Heart) and I thought it was fine. The only complaint I have with her portion of Gardening with a Ghost is that it didn’t match the others. It’s hard to explain but it’s like she was narrating from very far away and the sound had a tinny quality to it. The voices she did were fine but the quality of her portion of the recording could have been better.

I would definitely listen to more books performed by the two male voice actors and I wouldn’t mind more from Amanda either – but only if it was a solo performance or if the quality of the sound could better match the other voice actors.

A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me at my request; my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.

Intriguing story, duet style performance.

Gardening with a Ghost is a standalone romance novel with a paranormal twist. I thought it was cleverly done and really liked how the author crafted the story. There’s a mystery that deals with a tragic issue that may be triggering to some readers. However, even with such a heavy issue, the book still has a happy ending filled with hope. And yes, there is romantic ghost sex which was very steamy.

The audiobook was narrated by a cast of narrators which I thought was very clever. I really liked how they all voiced their characters and interacted with each other. The seamlessness of the audio performance was made possible by talented voice actors and a smooth, well-done audio production.

I have to admit I wasn’t certain what to expect from this audiobook. I’ve listened to Amanda Meuwissen audios before and I enjoy Kevin Earlywine’s performances, so I had high hopes for this book. Curtis Michael Holland is a new narrator to me, but I was happy to snag this one when it came up.

I’m so glad I did.

I don’t listen to a lot of radio-play style audios, so that intrigued me. Now, as an author who has audiobooks, I put myself in Amanda’s shoes and wondered about how much fun she must’ve had working with these two talented performers. Kevin did the yeoman’s work – narrating and doing the voice of the MC. Amanda performed all the women’s voices while Curtis did the men’s. I admit to being skeptical…but it worked.

Now, I found the pace a little slow at the beginning, but I’m so glad I held on and stuck it out because the story pulled me in and made me smile. A disappeared child, previous owners mysteriously dying, a gothic estate…and a ghost. What wasn’t to love?

I loved Peter and totally believed in his abilities. He was just the perfect protagonist and his epic ghost love story warmed me. Oh, and as a romance, I got my happy ending! Definitely worth a listen.

Lovely story

This story had me hooked from chapter one! Peter was such an amazing main character and I loved his power, so unique. I've never read a ghost romance before and I really loved it. I also liked the suspense storyline very much. The mystery was intriguing and had me guessing. I honestly couldn't stop listening. I finished the book in less than a day. And the narration was fantastic! I felt like I was watching a movie! Absolutely brilliant. I highly recommend this book!

wow! Brilliant!
