Haunted on bourbon street #1 by Deanna Chase

Jade Calhoun moved to New Orleane's to be near her best friend Kay. She found an apartment right next to a strip club and the owners Kane and Pyper were renting the place she was moving into. Kane was a very handsome looking man and it was hard for Jade to concentrate when he was around.
What Jade didn't know was that he could dream walk into her dreams tell one night he was there. The dream was very erotic and when she woke up in the morning she knew the easiest way to deal with how she was feeling was to take a cold shower. Jade also could see ghosts and one night she met the ghost that was also in her dreams. But he seemed to get jealous when she was around Kane. Kane would show up at certain times just to get under Jade's skin. She could never quite concentrate when he was around.
Pyper was very nice but she was having problems with her own ghost that was making her life feel like hell. Jade knew she needed to try to help her get rid of that ghost. She let Pyper stay at her apartment to help her friend out. A few days later Kane had asked Jade out and she said most differently yes. She knew what she wanted and during that date and later that evening she and Kane made love. By morning she was feeling very good tell he told her he was dream walking into her dream. She wasn't happy about it.
Jade and her friends tried to help Pyper out to get rid of the ghost but it back fired with pyper ending up in a coma. By the end of the book and certain thing happening which you'll have to read to find out for yourself. I'll just say it was a pretty good book and the first book in a series.
Well, off to start another book. This was also the first time I've read an ebook, which is what this was. So, I'm trying something new for me and I think I might enjoy reading like this after all. At first I wasn't sure. Remember to read a good book you never know where you'll find one.
