Alex Cassidy's parents always said they'd move heaven and earth to ensure she married well. And this time, they did! After all, Alex was turning thirty and still had no husband--that was a combination they just could not live with.
The day she turned 3-0, Alex woke to find, at the foot of her bed, looking dapper and doting, the ghosts of her parents. Most ghosts were fleeting apparitions, but Alex's ghosts were here to stay...at least until they delivered her birthday present--Mr. Right!

When I sold to Silhouette books on my wedding anniversary in 1979 I didn't expect to get this far. I love what I do and can't imagine doing anything else. I'm married living with Katie, a white mini Schnauzer who considers herself the center of our world, Hunter, a Yorkie mix who's a real mama's boy, Olivia my darling diva chihuahua, Dutch, our easy going happy go lucky terrier mix, Syd, our Panama Nape parrot, and Florence, our demented tortoise. We live in Southern California near San Diego in a town that's provided fodder for some of my stories. Once upon a time, I could say that when we moved here there were three romance writers. Now there is only me and to date I have not been considered a suspect. More romance authors have moved in and are safe and sound...so far.
A lot of my backlist books are now available for your Kindle and in print along with new novellas featuring the first witches in the Hex series along with my second love, romantic suspense books. And more books coming!
My Hex series are the books of my heart. The ones I've wanted to write for a long time and so glad to see out there. Many readers are confused by the two Demon titles and different cover looks. They're a part of the Hex series, still the disgraced witches from the Witches Academy, just with a different look. And yes, more Hex books will be coming!
There are times I think I enjoy writing the creatures more than the characters. And probably why my Fluff and Puff bunny slippers tend to never be where I left them! That's more than easy to do since they're tattooed on one ankle and Horace is tattooed on the other.
I'm very thankful for my readers for sticking to me.

I obtained this book out of a very large box of books that was given to me. I am not much of a romance reader so I was surprised that it actually wasn't too bad. I liked it because if was funny and I laughed out loud while I was reading it. Thankfully no one was close by to think I was crazy. And of course, every one gets their just desserts in the end. Super easy read - 217 pages. I finished it in a couple of hours.
The back of the book says:
"Alex Cassidy's parents always said they'd move heaven and earth to ensure she married well. And this time, they did! After all, Alex was turning thirty and still had no husband - that was combination they just couldn't live with.
The day she turned 3-0, Alex woke to find, at the foot of her bed, looking dapper and doting, the ghosts of her parents. Most ghosts were fleeting apparitions, but Alex's ghosts were here to stay....
At least until they delivered her birthday present - Mr. Right!"

An older Harlequin Romance with a silly (and dated) premise - on her 30th birthday Alex wakes up to discover her parents, who had been killed ten months earlier, have returned as ghosts, on a mission to see her "properly" married, and they do not consider her current boyfriend to be the proper man for her, so cue the shenanigans as they set out to matchmake. The author has always been one of my favorite category romance authors, and I quite agree with Alex's parents, so I enjoyed the gentle and amusing pushes towards the new man who came into her life. And I laughed out loud a couple of times.

oddly enough, i really liked this book. the woman in it was strong and the man isn't full of himself which is how a lot of books are not

The h is an idiot who is hell bent on marrying someone she is dating despite the fact that he tells her what to wear, hasn't been intimate with despite dating for over 2 years and is a jerk who doesn't even bother with basic social manners. When "the ghosts" of her parents point it out as well as her best friends mention this she remains willfully blind as he is the opposite of her ex-husband who was a philandering doctor. She would rather be with this idiot than someone who is from the same profession as her ex-husband.
The book got boring thanks to this idiotic h who even after 70 pages doesn't show any signs of getting a life or taking a look at her own without whining. No reader ever wants to read about a whiner.

Meh. Very uneven writing, uneven pacing, annoyingly sloppy proof reading. Decent (although not very original) premise, weakly executed.
