Sophie's been dumped and she's broke, so she could really use the job she's interviewing for at Dr. Callahan's optometry office. It comes with some perks, namely a sexy boss, but there's also the downside of a ghost haunting the place, who wants nothing more than to see Sophie gone.This story is fun from start to finish. Sophie is a hoot and Dr. Callahan is completely adorable. I love that they are both hopeless in their own ways, for example Sophie constantly talking to her pets as though they'll answer and Dr. Callahan essentially bluffing his way through the business side of his optometry office. But together they are perfect, making up for each others' inadequacies and simply being totally cute together - if only they can communicate how they feel to each other and stop all the ghosts from getting in the way!This is a paranormal mystery romance, so throughout Sophie and Cal's blossoming relationship, they are also attempting to uncover the mystery behind the ghost in the office who is becoming increasingly violent and threatening to destroy Dr. Callahan's practice. This all with a wonderful dose of humor thrown in, most of all courtesy of Sophie's British-ghost-friend Marmaduke and their spirit seeing support group.The only thing that could have made this novel better for me would have been a little more spice to the romance. It may, however, heat up in later novels of the series, but, by the same token, I suspect that other readers may prefer the sweeter flavor of Sophie and Cal's relationship.This is a funny and sweet paranormal romance that I believe most fans of light romantic comedies will enjoy. Think Size 12 Is Not Fat by Meg Cabot, BUT WITH GHOSTS.I 'read' the Audiobook, so what about the Narrator?Nan McNamara was a great narrator for this audiobook. She really captured Sophie, from her quirkiness to her humor, not to mention her swooning around Dr. Callahan. She also succeeded in reading the other characters in a way that set them apart and made them recognizable, without having them sound forced. This was really enjoyable to listen to.
