Review: Silly premise, but still a fun read

I will first warn that I am not in favor of supernatural gambits.  They are used all too often by even the best modern writers to 'freshen' up old story lines with a 'new' twist. There's nothing new about ghosts, vampires, zombies and the like, and the insertion of such things in romance stories, old or new, is just silly. This story was, however, charming and did not push the idea of a matchmaking ghost too strongly--just tossed it out there and let the reader decide if it works.  Further, the writer did a nice job of developing hero and heroine in a few broad strokes, rendering them likeable and deserving of their happy ending.  This is so rare in short stories that I gave a story worth only 3 stars a 4th.
