Protecting the Dream is half relationship half ghost story. I understand this is supposed to be an in-between episode after the first book, but there wasn't much character development in this as it assumes the readers are familiar with what happened in the first book. Not much plot was in this one other than the FMC deciding to move in with the MMC, and that's about it. FMC's ability to sense ghosts was used but it was an ancient cold case that had no bearings on the present day.
Detective Jordan Delany is a medium... she can hear ghosts, and that's an ability she had no intention of letting other people know, except when it comes to solving murders, and even then it's up to her to do the police work. But now she's on her toughest challenge... Whether to move in with Tyler McGee, a fellow detective, as Ty, high from completing the latest bust, whisked her away, not for vacation in an exotic place, but to a backwater horse ranch near his old home, and asked her if this is a house he should buy and share with her. But Jordan sensed there's something in the house... Something that was unresolved... the former owner supposedly disappeared... but Jordan knew what happened to her...
As I said before, the only tension and struggle in this book are whether Jordan wants to tie herself to Tyler. Figuring out the spirit in the house was completely secondary and it's not even a haunting, but merely closure. The relationship push-pull is nice, but there wasn't too much here plot or relationship-wise.
