A Ghost for Maggie

Colby Drake is a shark with killer blue eyes and a boyish charm whos hoping to sink his teeth into a story that will ruin Jack Kilbournes presidential aspirations once and for all. And who better to help Colby with the story but the Kilbournes scandalized ex-aide and girlfriend, Maggie Potter. Only Maggie doesnt blame Kilbourne. She blames the press, and no matter how many fireworks he and Maggie seem to ignite around each other, all she sees are sharks teeth. Luckily, Colby has someone rooting for him, or he wouldnt have a ghost of a chance winning Maggies trust.

"Red" Robin Rowe was the biggest tart in the Old West and ran her brothel, the Red Robins Nest, like a true mother hen. Unfortunately, she suffered a most untimely and embarrassing death before she could shed the truth of her livelihood with her daughter or dispense any motherly advice. Since her death, her family line has been cursed in love. But when Maggie Potter, Reds last living descendent, takes up residence in the old Nest, Red Robin sees her chance to make things right.

This is not one I would recommend for those interested in "hot" romance or "cool" paranormal. Neither sizzling nor scary, this light romance is exactly that - light. If youre looking for something riveting to escape into, this book isnt going to cut it. But "A Ghost for Maggie" is entertaining. I found the subplot between Maggies sister Catherine and bookstore owner/ghost guru Thomas Matthews while shorter and sweeter, just as interesting as the main event. Sprinkle a little south western spice onto the pages, and you just might have something.
