Overview

She's a ghost with a disreputable past...and a heavenly mission.

With her trademark blend of sparkling humor and sizzling romance, Emily Carmichael has earned a legion of devoted fans. Now she returns to delight readers with a wickedly delicious tale of modern love--and some old-fashioned meddling....

Once, sultry Robin Rowe was the hottest madam in the whole Wild West. Then a jealous suitor shot her dead. But when the wicked Red Robin departed this life, she didn't depart this world. Instead she found herself hanging around, watching as her daughter and her daughter's daughters made first-class fools of themselves over the wrong men...until now, a hundred years later, Robin has just one descendant left.

So when fate drops her on Robin's doorstep, the sexy ghost jumps at the chance to straighten out her great-great-granddaughter.

Still, Robin didn't get to be the most successful tart in town by giving up. Now she's prepared to do everything in her ghostly power to see that Maggie lands herself the perfect man, even if she has to teach Maggie her most erotic secrets....

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly

In Finding Mr. Right, Carmichael sent to earth a naughty angel disguised as a dog to atone for her sins from a previous life. This time, she entertains with a mischievous ghost in the form of Robin Rowe, madam of Robin's Nest, the hottest whorehouse in Jerome, Ariz.--or at least Robin was, until Jack Schmidt shot her dead in the outhouse. Now, in the present day, Robin haunts her old digs while playing matchmaker to great-great-granddaughter Maggie Potter, who has turned Robin's Nest into a historically themed B&B. Determined to find Maggie a suitable husband, Robin sets her sights on the unlikely Colby Drake, a reporter who's writing an expos on Maggie and her ex-lover, a prominent politician. Robin's antics come off as Ghostbusters-esque slapstick, but her narrative boasts enough spice and humor to save an overplotted, overpopulated tale. (Aug.)
