About this ebook

Tillie Hamilton is the latest person to use her 180-year-old house in rural Kentucky as a hideout—taking her cue from the infamous outlaw Jesse James who frequented the place. The house she converted into a bed and breakfast is the only sanctuary she’s known, ever since the old woman she inherited it from rescued her from neglect as a small child.

However, sparks fly when her benefactor’s handsome grandson, Greg Buchanan, accuses Tillie of exploiting his grandmother’s memory for her own ends by claiming Gram haunts the inn.

While reading his grandmother’s private journals, Greg learned Jesse James returned to this house in the 1930s, half a century after historians believed he’d been shot dead. Vowing to debunk the charlatan’s claims of ghosts and to prove his grandmother correct, but quickly discovers the charming Tillie is not at all what he expected. Embarrassed to admit he’s another of the conspiracy theorists she scoffs at, he hides his secondary reason for showing up at her B&B.

Yet his attraction to Tillie keeps him torn between setting history right and forging a new history of his own in Tillie’s arms. Tensions mount, leaving his grandmother’s spirit to think her dying wish—something she’s wanted since Tillie and Greg were children—may never come true.

Can Gram and Jesse make the two lonely overachievers see they belong in each other’s arms before time runs out for them to seize this opportunity?

Ratings and reviews

5 Star Review Jesse's Hideout (Bluegrass Spirits #1) by Kallypso Masters I was excited to learn that Kallypso Masters was writing a new series and I was eager to read Jesse's Hideout. I have always enjoyed the depth of characters and writing style of Ms. Masters and I was intrigued by the premise of this book when I first saw it announced. I was not disappointed, yes this is certainly different from her other books, but it was an excellent beginning to what I believe will be a successful new series, taking her in a different direction to her previous books. This is the story of Tillie Hamilton who runs a B & B in rural Kentucky and Greg Buchanan the grandson of the woman who used to own the house. Not only is it a beautiful old home, history tells that it was once a hideout for Jesse James and is haunted. Tillie is adamant that the house is haunted by Greg's grandmother and Greg is determined to prove her wrong, he feels she is using his grandmothers memory to string people along. Greg also is determined to prove a theory he has long held that Jesse James visited the house well after he was thought to be dead. What happens when the spirts of Jesse James and Mrs Foster, decide to team up to push Tillie and Greg together? Ms. Masters description of rural Kentucky was so amazing that I felt at times I was actually there. This book just flows on so many levels; it is hard to do it justice. There was so much happening in the book I don’t quite know where to start. I often wonder how Ms. Masters comes up with the story lines for her books; each book just seems to get better and better. I was so engrossed in the book that I did't want to put it down. Congratulations Ms.Masters your new Contemporary Romance series is off to a flying start. This is one book that I highly recommend you purchase and read as soon as you can. Be prepared though for one amazing read that will leave you wanting more.

This was a sweet, with a little edge, read. A touch of paranormal, but not too much, and a sweet little boy, who doesn't steal the show, just adds to the wonder. The book is the development of the relationship between Tillie and Greg, the realities of their lives, and that wonderful feeling you get as things develop in a new relationship Completely enjoyable read!
