Gwen Walberg, literature teacher and self-professed geek, is thrilled toacquire a priceless antique book but soon learns why it came so cheap.The book contains the ghost of Violetta, its former owner, who spices upher boring afterlife by playing matchmaker. Gwen is her newtarget--and if she won't cooperate, Violetta is prepared to throw astorm of dangerous tantrums. Rather than give up the treasured book,Gwen reluctantly surrenders, and learns Violetta has already chosen theman for her: Gwen's gorgeous gardener and friend, Paul Chang.Paul is stunned that a ghost wants to cast him as a romance hero butintrigued enough to cooperate. Step by awkward step, Paul and Gwen allowtheir weird voyeur to force them into compromising positions. But whatif the unlikely couple starts enjoying their bizarre, steamy situation?Can they ever cultivate a healthy relationship with an unstable ghosttagging along?Of Ghosts and Geeks is a giggling good time. Violetta is the mostannoyingly funny apparition I have come across in a long time. She is soundeniably selfish yet her antics provide so many laughs for the reader.Gwen and Paul are a fabulous couple and they should be grateful for theinterfering specter who is helping them along with her matchmaking demands.I love that Gwen sees herself as a geek and is fine with it, almost proudof her nerdiness. I love how she takes Violetta's presence in her life allin stride and is more concerned with her treasured acquisition. Paul iseven more blasé about the voyeuristic ghost and her quixotic demands. Hehas the right mixture of geek and hottie to measure up for Gwen and I haveto agree with her conclusion. I loved Gwen's uncle even though I learnedmore about him than she would have liked. I am looking forward to readingmore from this author this story left me with a big grin on my face and theoccasional recurring chuckle.
