This story comes too close to a fairytale for me.
Paddy has always been a dare-devil, never backing away from trouble. At the tender age of twenty-three a bar fight ends his life and he spends the next ten yours wandering the world. His one and only regret that he didn’t get to tell Gareth how much he liked him.

The moment he sets his foot on Boston though a bit after midnight on St Patrick’s Day Paddy witnesses a murder. There is nothing he can do though but stay there and watch the poor guy die.

At O’Toole’s bar in Boston Gareth has stopped for a drink. It’s that day of the year again, his birthday and this time he doesn’t want to be alone in his apartment. But never did he expect to be approach by a man who wears the most familiar eyes he’s ever seen. Eyes that has followed him in his fantasies for more than ten years.

Two lovers who never had a chance. The feelings and emotions are too strong, too fast in a very acceptable plot. Both men have had ten years to think, want and long for each other. Paddy has been a ghost thus he has been denied feelings such as the feeling of a solid body, taste, smell, and when he gets together with the one he’s loved everything gets more intense. The fact that we don’t know if it’s permanent or he’s going to lose the solid body after the magical day of St. Patrick’s makes it even more desperate.

So ok, there are many things in the plot that don’t really stand and if you want to check every detail then some things and reactions are simply lacking or seemingly left half finished. But all in all everything gets lost in a haze of magic.

So dare you believe in magic? For magic and love is all this story is about. If you are in the right mood for romance and a great deal of lost chances, regrets and a magical, miraculous second chance then this is the book for you.
