Your Magic Touch (A Sweet Read from Kathy Carmichael)
She's determined to get the story...
Tabloid reporter Frannie Fielding arrives at Haliday Hall with three ghost hunters to investigate possible ghost infestations. But there's more to Frannie and the ghost hunters than meets the eye.
He'll do whatever it takes to stop her...
Sinclair Haliday, a dead ringer for Heathcliff or Mr. de Winter, finds the peskiest of the intruders to be Frannie with her endless questions--although he has to admit she's the cutest living creature he's ever seen. After being blackmailed into allowing the group into the Newport, RI mansion, Sinclair is determined the only story they will leave with is of a failed attempt to find ghosts.
Until they share a magic kiss...
In this romantic comedy, sparks fly as Frannie tries to resist Sinclair's magic touch.
"Your Magic Touch is a delightful little tale, complete with a haunted mansion, a creepy housekeeper worthy of Rebecca, a magic love match choosing dove, bungling wizards, ghosts, and even authentic ghost hunting gear--KII meters and recorders, and.... ;) toilet brushes. (Okay, just kidding on that last being a ghost hunting tool). Last but not least, she's filled it with her trademark humor."

Edition: Kindle
This is a short novella written by Kathy Carmichael that I found on the Kindle Store for free and so I thought that I would give it a go. This is a rom-com type of book that is fun, lighthearted and funny. It is very well written and keeps you wanting to read on, it is a very sweet kind of book and perfect if you need that little 'pick me up'. The characters featured in the novella are likable and easy to relate to, however it is a tad bit predictable in places but it doesnt make it any less enjoyable to read. It is a good book for people who enjoy the romantic comedy genre.

Thank you to Kathy Carmichael for a copy of Your Magic Touch. The genre is romantic comedy. This novel is also considered a novella.
Synopsis:
What has Harrison done now? Sinclair asks this very question as he sits down to dinner with his aunt and uncle. They have a request. Could Sinclair stay here at the mansion and babysit ghost hunters and a reporter? Frannie is known for her humanitarian efforts. She writes for a tabloid magazine the Spy. She takes the assignment thinking she will only write about the mansion that she will visit and there is nothing more to it. Or is there? The ghost hunters are not your average ghost hunters. They are actually wizards with a mission. This mission involves both Frannie and Sinclair. Will they be successful? Are there truly ghosts in the mansion?
My Thoughts:
I found this novel very easy to read. The characters are easy to follow and like. There really is no bad person. The plot is very simple. I may have given away too much already. I just didn’t find it enough of a story. I was surprised that it was a clean romance. I was expecting more of a Harlequin read.

This was such a cute, funny little paranormal romance and I thoroughly enjoyed such a light read.
Frannie Fielding is a reporter for a small newspaper whilst earning her masters and her boss has set her up on a story following three ghost hunters whilst they visit Haliday Hall on the hunt for some spectral visitors, only she finds more than just ghosts there. What she finds is the nephew of the owners, who is dashingly handsome, but a bit of a stiff. Despite all the annoyance she feels towards him, she cannot help but feel attracted, all of which is helped by the three ghost hunters, who are not ghost hunters at all, but wizards who have been given the job of making love matches!
Well worth a reading if you want a bit of light hearted romance!

"Wowsers!" This did make me laugh. I would give it 3.5*. Lots of fun and lots of silly.

A bit trite in places and also predictable but the cast of characters are likeable.. I would give the author a second chance to see if she can make a bit more plot---- :)
