Kate Angell, Crazy for You

Sexton St. Croix's cruise ship is haunted and he either has to get rid of the ghost, or sell the ship for scrap. In one last effort to convince the ghost to leave the ship, he books a psychics' cruise and hires Bree Emory, a reputable clairsentient, to counteract the charlatan's on board. Bree embarks on an 80-year-old murder investigation, encountering resistance to the truth from even Sex himself. But even though he doubts her findings, he's drawn to Bree with a magnetism similar to the flapper ghost and her beau of so long ago.

The hero is yummy, the heroine is intelligent and interesting, and both have firm goals. Daisy is the most delightful ghost I've ever read, without a doubt! This book was a pleasure to read--funny, yet it also pulled on the heartstrings.

Highly recommended!!!

Kate Angell, Crazy for You - In 1925 on the luxurious SS Majestic that he owns, Randolph St. Croix broke off his engagement to Eloise Hogue to propose to flapper Daisy Alton. She accepted his family heirloom, a six carat fire opal in the center of diamonds, as an engagement gift. Not long afterward, Daisy allegedly killed Randolph and committed suicide. No gun was found and the SS Majestic went into mothballs as no one wanted to ride a vessel allegedly haunted by the killer ghost.

The great nephew of Randolph, Sexton St. Croix, takes the SS Majestic out to sea on a five day psychic cruise that he figures will end the nonsense. He brings with him one supposedly reputable ESP whiz, Bree Emery, who resides in Daisy's cabin, unchanged since 1925. Though attracted to the skeptical Randolph, especially after viewing his homage to the Big Mac, following contact with Daisy, Bree believes the ill-fated dancer and her beloved were murdered by a third party. To free the ghost, she must solve the homicides while other psychics dance the high wire of shams. Randolph scoffs at her, firmly convinced Daisy murdered his relative.

No one does crazy romantic romps that have readers laughing one moment and feeling the passion the next than Kate Angell does. Her latest tale is a fabulous paranormal romance with a wonderful historical who-done-it. The storyline is hilarious and ardent from the Big Mac to the ghostly highwire as a cruse ship has not ever been quite as majestic as this one. Fans will treasure the modern day romance between the clairvoyant and the skeptic, and the love story that transcends time.
