Gwen Walberg, literature teacher and self-professed geek, is thrilled to
acquire a priceless antique book but soon learns why it came so cheap.
The book contains the ghost of Violetta, its former owner, who spices up
her boring afterlife by playing matchmaker. Gwen is her new
target-and if she won't cooperate, Violetta is prepared to throw a
storm of dangerous tantrums. Rather than give up the treasured book,
Gwen reluctantly surrenders, and learns Violetta has already chosen the
man for her: Gwen's gorgeous gardener and friend, Paul Chang.
Paul is stunned that a ghost wants to cast him as a romance hero but
intrigued enough to cooperate. Step by awkward step, Paul and Gwen allow
their weird voyeur to force them into compromising positions. But what
if the unlikely couple starts enjoying their bizarre, steamy situation?
Can they ever cultivate a healthy relationship with an unstable ghost
tagging along?
Of Ghosts and Geeks is a giggling good time. Violetta is the most
annoyingly funny apparition I have come across in a long time. She is so
undeniably selfish yet her antics provide so many laughs for the reader.
Gwen and Paul are a fabulous couple and they should be grateful for the
interfering specter who is helping them along with her matchmaking demands.
I love that Gwen sees herself as a geek and is fine with it, almost proud
of her nerdiness. I love how she takes Violetta's presence in her life all
in stride and is more concerned with her treasured acquisition. Paul is
even more blasé about the voyeuristic ghost and her quixotic demands. He
has the right mixture of geek and hottie to measure up for Gwen and I have
to agree with her conclusion. I loved Gwen's uncle even though I learned
more about him than she would have liked. I am looking forward to reading
more from this author this story left me with a big grin on my face and the
occasional recurring chuckle.
