Romance Paranormal

Selena James is a psychic who apparently can't see her own future. When famous author Trent Sanders, a soul deep skeptic, accuses her of being delusional, and worse, a fraud, on television, Selena finds herself living in a haunted hotel with him for two weeks, thanks to her mother's interference. During the two weeks, Selena has to prove to Trent that ghosts exist. The only thing that worries her a bit is if she happens to fail to prove herself, Trent wins himself a night in her bed, courtesy of a side bet they made. Trent is tired of watching charlatans like Selena prey on people's vulnerabilities. He's out to ruin her and nothing is going to get in his way, not even the sexy lady herself. When Selena tells him the hotel is haunted not by one, but by two ghosts, Trent knows she's out to con him. He's going to do everything to prove she's a fraud, even if it means ruining her career. But more than he wants to ruin her, he wants to taste her. His uncontrollable desire for Selena is completely distracting Trent from his mission. What's a skeptic man to do? DOUBLE DATING WITH THE DEAD is a riot! The aptly named book will keep you in stitches from the first pinch to the last ghost. Trent and Selena are hilarious together, and smoking hot. The chemistry between these two is highly palpable. Add to it the charming mix of secondary characters, both alive and dead, and you've got a book that'll keep you awake till the wee hours of the morning. This was my first Karen Kelley book but it's far from being my last. I'm definitely looking forward to this author's other adventures.

SUMMARY

Psychic Selena James is having the kind of week that makes her happy to talk to the dead. First, famously skeptical (and sinfully sexy) writer, Trent Sanders, called her delusional on TV. Next, her outraged mother publicly challenged him to spend two weeks with Selena at the haunted Garvey Hotel. Now, if Selena can’t prove ghosts exist, she’ll answer to Trent’s private wager: one night in his bed. It doesn’t take any psychic abilities to know Trent could satisfy a woman’s every fantasy. And she may find out very soon, if the two sex-starved ghosts in residence have their way… Trent Sanders doesn’t believe in anything he can’t see, taste, or touch, and what he sees right now he would definitely enjoying tasting and touching. Selena James might be a bit kooky, but she’s also blessed with a body that could certainly raise the dead, if not talk to them. She’s even got a wicked sense of humor, like when she pinched his butt and insisted it wasn’t her, but one of the “ghosts.” Riiiiiight. But as things move from “haunted” to extremely hot, Trent’s starting to believe the paranormal is a one-way—make that four-way—ticket to paradise...
