Entertaining Beach Reading

I enjoyed this book. Rainbow is a believable characther who has a special talent for sensing the unknowing. And when she is called into look at a haunted building where many senior citizens live, she doesn't know what she is getting herself into. Jake Carpenter is too logical and scientific for words. When he is voted president of the association and 'stuck' with Rainbow and a haunted building, little does he know the fun is just beginning. With a little help from above and a lot of help from Mary Todd, this couple has a hard time finding time alone to get to know each other and yet they really don't stand a chance in the romance. They make such a great couple and are just the kind of people I'd like to know in real life. The book just moves along at a fast pace and with a touch of humor and a touch of the out of the ordinary, this is a great beach reading type of book. Enjoy.

As delicious as a Chocolate Sundae

Perhaps it is the wackiness of Rainbow herself that drew me into the story, but this has to got be my favorite Sue Civil-Brown/Rachel Lee book to date.I found the characters funny but believable. And Rainbow's special way of knowing kept me wanting to know more.Okay, I'll admit I got out a map and looked to see if there could really be a place called Paradise Island off the coast of Florida...cause it's a place I'd like to visit.Very funny--the perfect gift for a friend who needs cheering, or to spend some hours on a gloomy day.

Delightful, a feel-good read

Chasing Rainbow is fresh comic romp. Written with verve and wit, it explores the outer fringes of New Age thought while deftly exposing the tender and ageless area of the human heart. The setting is wonderfully realized, and the characters resonate with life - especially the secondary geriatric crowd who act as a cheering squad for the antics of hero and heroine. I can't remember when I've had so much fun.

Bewitched meets Ghostbusters

This zany romance stands apart from the crowd with its cast of offbeat characters. Imagine a practical, grounded man who has made geology his life's career being forced to work with a local psychic to rid his condominium association of ghosts. Highly original and a warm-hearted delight.

Wonderful lighthearted romp!

This book is a lot of fun and laughs, with some zany heartwarming characters I hope to see again.This is not a Rachel Lee book, which is why the author is using a different name.But if you need laughs and a lot of smiles, this is just what the doctor ordered!
