The Haunting of Josie

Josie Douglas wanted to isolate herself in a country cottage.  She had her research, and her alibi (taking time off of her teaching job to write a book) and was ready to unravel the truth behind the tragedy that tore her life apart as a child.

She didn't expect the cottage to come with a cat.  She also didn't expcet the property owner, the stunningly handsome Marc Westbrook, to live within shouting distance of her "isolated" cabin.  She is already distracted, and wondering how she is ever going to get the work done that she came to do when the unthinkable happened.

Turns out that along with the cat, and the romance, her cabin comes equipped with a ghost as well (though Marc assures her it has NEVER been haunted before.)

Now instead of unraveling her tragic past, Josie is working with Marc to find out why the ghost appeared now, and to her.  And she also has to decide if she is willing to let Mar Westbrook close enough to her to share with him her deepest, darkest secrets.

The Haunting of Josie by Kay Hooper is a Paranormal Romance, but is a little light on the paranormal in my opinion.

I also wish the cat, Pendragon, who bookends this story had played a bigger part in the action of the tale.  Mysteries are just better with a cat (or dog) helping out.

Overall it was an interesting read.  At first I read mostly to know what Josie's secret was (because we as readers don't even know!) and kept reading to find out why Josie was being haunted.

I didn't like the usual "I'm in love with him but I don't want to be in love with him so I'm going to pretend I don't love him" repetitiveness that all romance novels seem to have.
