Better Than I Expected

I'm wary of what might turn out to be a sappy romance, especially if the dialogue is poorly written. On the other hand, I'm a sucker for fiction stories having to do with ghosts, reincarnation, time travel, etc, and romance is a pretty big genre for those factors. You've got the plot from the other reviewer. I'll add this (or you may have guessed it anyway) - they fall in love, of course, except that each one is sure the other one doesn't feel the same way or at the least, isn't worth bothering with. So of course we've got all sorts of complications alternating with romance but thank heavens no bodice ripping smarmy love scenes. The ghost definitely factors into the Jack/Liz equation, as does Liz's friend Tori, aka Judy Maroney - or maybe it's vice versa. Judy had a severe accident that almost killed her, and subsequently became Tori and created a whole new persona, who also figures into the whole reincarnation/ghost thing. (It works much better than I make it sound). So it was an easy read, entertaining, and not insulting. I cared about the characters, I rooted for the obvious, and I was charmed by both the ghost and Tori. And when Liz finally..........well, maybe you'll have to read the book and find that out too - along with whether or not Princess Di showed up at the party!

Hauntingly Fun!

Liz moved into the small house in hopes of getting contracts for events with the upper class neighbors. But things got strange the moment she found the old trunk in her attic with letters that told of a great love lost a century earlier. Liz began hearing chimes. Then the ghost kept appearing. Jack Eastman was the most arrogant and stuck up person Liz had ever had the displeasure of meeting. His mansion was connected to her land, but seperated by rusty, age old, barbed wire! She accepts his contract for a birthday party, which ends in disaster. Then for a picnic. The picnic is sabotaged by ants. It's saved only by fast reaction by Liz. At the same time, someone is also making accidents happen at Jack's ship yard. Jack finds Liz volunteering at a shelter for battered women one day and the two plan a fund raiser for the shelter. Word leaks out that PRINCESS DIANA MAY SHOW UP. It is to be a masquerade. With that rumor, ticket sales soar. ***Wonderful story. Did the Princess show up? I'm not telling.***
