More than a Ghostly Love Story

I enjoyed reading My Favorite Phantom. I wouldn't say that it was a page turner I just couldn't put down, but it was definitely worth reading. The writing style was easy to follow; the dialog and actions of the characters were believable (well, maybe not the ectoplasm). Overall, I would recommend it to any fans of paranormal romance. My Favorite Phantom has a dash of suspense and a blossoming love; throw in a mischievous ghost and a loan shark and you have one heck of a tale! It is definitely much more than just a ghostly love story... Jessica S. We Write Romance [...]

Excellent read!

I really enjoyed this book. I love a book that starts with action, and lasts throughout.

Fun contemporary romance

Kaci Melton's father is a ghost hunter, but because he is hiding out from a loan shark, she has taken his most recent job. The only drawback is that Kaci is terrified of ghosts and Professor Peyton Cache has a very active one that he wants gone. When Peyton's resident ghost makes an appearance on the first night of Kaci's investigation and she scurries into his bed for safety, things immediately heat up between them. Trouble is, Peyton isn't the only one who finds Kaci adorable, and soon his ghost takes a fancy to her as well. Between the irresistible, dirty talking Peyton, his pesky, determined ghost, and a loan shark who is getting too close for comfort, Kaci is confused and more than a little harried. Peyton is vying for a sizable grant and his opposition is a co-worker who is a scheming phony who criticizes Peyton's every move - with a fake British accent nonetheless. The obstacles in Peyton's way are beginning to loom rather large. He realizes Kaci's fears, the ghost amps up his activity out of an attraction to her, and he's very concerned about the dinner he's hosting for the grant committee. He doubts he can endear himself to his guests with a ghost in the house who has a penchant for tossing his underwear across the room. On top of all of that are the feelings that he's quickly developing for Kaci. Interestingly enough, those feelings are quickly taking precedence over everything else that is going on in his life. If you're looking for a lighthearted read that doesn't skimp on sensuality, I highly recommend MY FAVORITE PHANTOM. Karen Kelley never disappoints, always giving readers quality romance that's fun without being ridiculous or silly.

A Ghostly gem

My Favorite Phantom by Karen Kelley is another sexy and funny story that just delights. Kaci Melton is a ghost exterminator who is afraid of ghost. When her dad is hiding out from the local mob she must take over the actual ghost removal on her own. She is convinced that the old dodger professor she is about to met will be a snap to fool. But its a handsome young man that needs her help. Oh dear. Professor Peyton Cache wants to keep it a secret that he has a ghost. He can't have it getting around at the college, especially now when he is up for a promotion. When he first meets Kaci in her oversized baggy clothes he knows he won't be making another bad mistake by falling for her. Once she changes into her normal clothes he doesn't stand a chance. The first encounter with the ghost has Kaci running into Peyton's arms. This ghost isn't a bad ghost until he develops a crush on Kaci, then things really get sticky. Add to this mix the goons that are after her dad, Kaci is having a time of it. Karen Kelly writes laugher and hot romance like no other. I always know her books will entertain me on every level. Kaci and Peyton send sparks flying off of every page. This book is an absolute delight.
