A low-fat romance, Juil 11 2004
Maggie Potter is allergic to love. After being dumped off the campaign trail by presidential candidate nominee, Jack Kilbourne, and being raked through the mud by the press, Maggie tries to bury her past by opening a B&B in ghost town Jerome, Arizona. Only the B&B, Red Robin's Nest Inn, has a past of its own, and it, or shall we say she, isn't willing to stay buried. Colby Drake is a shark with killer blue eyes and a boyish charm who's hoping to sink his teeth into a story that will ruin Jack Kilbourne's presidential aspirations once and for all. And who better to help Colby with the story but the Kilbourne's scandalized ex-aide and girlfriend, Maggie Potter. Only Maggie doesn't blame Kilbourne. She blames the press, and no matter how many fireworks he and Maggie seem to ignite around each other, all she sees are shark's teeth. Luckily, Colby has someone rooting for him, or he wouldn't have a ghost of a chance winning Maggie's trust. "Red" Robin Rowe was the biggest tart in the Old West and ran her brothel, the Red Robin's Nest, like a true mother hen. Unfortunately, she suffered a most untimely and embarrassing death before she could shed the truth of her livelihood with her daughter or dispense any motherly advice. Since her death, her family line has been cursed in love. But when Maggie Potter, Red's last living descendent, takes up residence in the old Nest, Red Robin sees her chance to make things right. This is not one I would recommend for those interested in "hot" romance or "cool" paranormal. Neither sizzling nor scary, this light romance is exactly that - light. If you're looking for something riveting to escape into, this book isn't going to cut it. But "A Ghost for Maggie" is entertaining. I found the subplot between Maggie's sister Catherine and bookstore owner/ghost guru Thomas Matthews while shorter and sweeter, just as interesting as the main event. Sprinkle a little south western spice onto the pages, and you just might have something. Emily Flippin Maruna
