Funny and Charming

I love Shelby and Boston. This was a reread for me. I laughed just as much this time around as I did the first time. Shelby Tucker runs a haunted house ghost tour for people in her home town of Cuttersville Ohio. She has been divorced from her High School sweetheart for 3 years. Shelby and Danny are still such good friends... Everybody in town doesn't understand why Shelby divorced him. Shelby thinks she lacks passion. She never felt all the "sparks" with Danny. She thinks she is defective. Until she leads a tour into a bedroom and finds a naked and sleeping Boston MacNamara. Suddenly Shelby isn't feeling so "dead" inside. This book starts out with one of the funniest scenes... I won't spoil it, but you have to wonder where Erin comes up with this stuff! Boston is a rich city boy, sent to Cuttersville by his boss to check on a factory. Shelby and Boston are sooo different. Yet you know they are perect for eachother. They have some obstacles to overcome. Erin writes in some funny, sexy, tender and sad moments to help them on their way. A very enjoyable read. This book is filled with great side chracters too. You'll want to read the next book in the series, Heiress for Hire. Enjoy!

This Story Did Not Fizzle!

Another charmer

Erin McCarthy has written another sexy, funny tale in A Date With The Other Side. Shelby Tucker was shocked to find a hot, naked man in one of the rooms on her tour of haunted houses in Cutterville, Ohio. Shelby for the most part likes her quite, simple life in her small town. But something is missing. Could Boston Macnamara be the change she needs? Boston Macnamara is stuck in this two-bit town until his boss at Samson Plastics lets him return to Chicago. He is renting a house on the ghost tour that has him in daily contact with local girl Shelby. She is affecting him like no other woman before in his life. Shelby and Boston's road to romance isn't a smooth one but it's a hot, sexy and laugh out loud funny. Throw in a ghost or two you have one sensation read. I thank my lucky stars the day I found this authors work.

great!

In Cuttersville, Ohio, Shelby Tucker leads a Haunted House tour when they wake up Boston Macnamara in the White House. Shelby's grandmother Jessie failed to tell her that she rented the haunted house to the naked hunk. Jessie informs Boston that the lease he signed allows the owner to enter at anytime. Already turning purple in exasperation, he turns green when he sees a big man with Shelby. During the next tour, Shelby and Boston become locked inside the parlor unable to open the door or any windows. Jessie figures the ghosts are on her side in matchmaking Shelby and Boston. Her ex husband Danny Tucker breaks an outside window to rescue Shelby. On a subsequent tour, the ghosts lock Shelby and Boston inside his bedroom. They kiss and begin to make love until the door suddenly opens. Shelby stops the kissing and caressing, and leaves. Word travels that ghosts are on the tour. Crowds arrive expecting to see them. Shelby asks Boston to be around for her tours because he is the catalyst. He agrees as he and Shelby are in love; Danny tells her that when "Big City" leaves her, he will be there for her, but nice Danny is no longer enough. The interesting support cast especially the ghosts enhance the relationship between the strong lead couple so that the audience receive a wonderful paranormal romance. The story line is fun to follow as the ghosts and Jessie play matchmaker however, no explanation is provided for why the ghosts frequent Cuttersville. Still fans will appreciate this otherworldly romance and want a sequel starring Danny who is too nice not to have a woman love him.

Erin McCarthy is an amazing story teller and she just keeps getting better and better!! Her books are always fun reads filled with witty dialogue, and you can't miss the powerful chemistry she creates between her characters. A Date with the Other Side is a sexy tale with a lot of laugh out loud moments. This book has great characters and some very steamy sex. When you combine those with the fun paranormal theme, you have a highly entertaining read that will capture the reader to the very end.
