I picked this up because I enjoy Kay Hooper's books, this one was simple and entertaining. I was disappointed that is was so short, only took a few hours to get through but it was a nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon when the weather was yucky!

I had higher expectations since it was a Kay Hooper selection. I am used to the Bishop series, and I set the bar too high. Perhaps the short length had something to do with it. Characters could have been developed more.

I put this aside for several years because it sounds like a horror novel. The Haunting Of Josie was a very enjoyable 1994 mystery, with a few appearances by a spectre wanting a helping hand.

I adored this one! It has just a touch of paranormal but not enough to call it a "paranormal romance." Let's call it "old school" LOL! I also love that it was a "sweet" story. There isn't much in the way of explicit scenes between the two main characters so it was a refreshing story. I thought the c......more

Goodreads review by Donna on July 11, 2015

I mainly read mystery and don't like romance but I did like this book. I like this writers style and really wish the book had more of the mystery and less of the romance. I thought it was kinda funny that this ghost seemed to want her to do something and was getting impatient but for most of the boo......more
