"fun paranormal romance"
In Seattle, Washington, Case Lambert stops at Megan
Barrows' store Antique Fancies giving the owner
palpitations of the heart. A realtor who restores old
houses before selling them, he does not want to buy any of
her items that only contain happy memories except her
services to rid his new purchase of an apparent ghost;
though first he tests her with his family heirloom, a
watch owned by his doting grandmother. Megan, having
almost lost her soul during her ghostbusting days, passes
the test easily but refuses to intervene especially when
he mentions parapsychologist Eric Ramsay recommended her.
Megan's best friend Tracie Thomas accepts the job for her
at an exorbitant fee, dinner with his cute butt. He already lives in the mansion though it is not renovated
and has two reasons for wanting her to stay there with
him. First he is very attracted to her and second though
a skeptic he is taking no chances that ghosts share his
home. She quickly concludes he has several ghosts
residing there including a ghost who has the hots for the
hunk almost as much as Megan wants him. Of course the
Smithson sister spirits have other plans with Eric as
their milieu, but no one can prevent Megan and Case from
falling in love. A BABE IN GHOSTLAND is a fun paranormal romance starring a
likable lead duet who fall in instant lust even before the
first ghost appears. The story line is fast-paced as
Megan's rival is from the beyond. Though the tale is
somewhat to romantic fantasy form, sub-genre readers will
enjoy Lisa Cach's fascinating tale of ghosts trying to
prevent a mortal romance. Harriet Klausner

Megan Barrows has retired from a brief career as a ghost-
busting psychic and now uses her sixth sense to fill her
Seattle antiques store with objects with happy pasts. After
once nearly having the soul sucked out of her by a
malevolent spirit, she prefers a quiet life.
Case Lambert is a real estate prospector who restores old
houses, then sells them for a profit. He has just bought a
dilapidated mansion so amazing that he wants to keep it for
himself, but the house appears to be haunted. Seriously
haunted. A few inquiries lead him to Megan Barrows.
Megan at first refuses to help, but Case is a master of
persuasion. Moving in to the mansion, they discover that
one of the ghosts has a thing for Case — and there may be
even more amorous spirits inside this veritable paranormal
vortex. But it soon becomes clear that no one -- dead or
alive -- can stop Megan and Case from ending up in each
other's arms.
