Review:
Every now and then I try to stretch my borders and read something outside my comfort zone. This one slapped me right back. I did not find the romance very compelling, spoilers below here. Woman who sees ghosts. She sees a ghost and falls in love, but not to be because, well, he is a ghost. Man turns out to be in a coma. Happily every after when he wakes up and remembers being a ghost. Poston posits that this was a ghost story. It isn't. It isn't even really supernatural...just sort of corny to use her own word. Poston seems to be aware that this is all rather corny. Then in a sappy author's note she hopes that this is the book for the reader. If not, maybe another one will be. I dunno, but I stepped out of my comfort zone for a romance and got a poorly written ghost story. Dang.
