Kevin is hanging around his home after his suicide.  He cannot pass over so his widow hires Katrina to rid the house of Kevin.  She has a different way of ghost busting.

 

This is a short quick hot read.  It is fun.  Katrina gives Kevin what he want so he can pass over.  I enjoyed it and plan to read more of the series.

**10/5 noticed this one is on sale for $0.99 from Kobo, if anyone's interested! I liked it!!

This book is a romance between 30-somethings that reads like a romance between 30 year olds, including their doubts and families…novel of all novelties.

Matt and Pippa. Their families. I mean, here we have established human beings, a little lost for different reasons (one Hollywood-style ejected, one suffocated by his familial obligations in the small town because: life) But they LOVE and CARE for their families. And they have struggles with their families. It’s like they are 30-somethings without a whole lotta drama (well, an emotionally manipulative mother I suppose) and they don’t even try to invent it! Conflict, absolutely. Life-changing decisions, sure. But this book is generally free of the invented drama that plagues romance.

The slight spoiler: breakup is done quickly, mutually, and maturely, and even with a good bit regret. Their quest to get back together is a bit more fraught with lack of communication, which I found a bit disappointing.

One of the only more manipulative plot developments was on Phi’s (Pippa's beloved Grandma) stroke, but it was interesting in that it healed Pippa’s family and solidified Pippa’s decision, but created a bit of a rift and conflict between the couple

The only issue I had with this book were probably the last 2-3 chapters. It was so full of life and love, it was warm, but then it came time to wrap up all the subplots. Eh, this was less successful than how sucked into the family dynamic I was, how charming the characters were, etc. In fact, it’s a series so I guess I don’t see why it was necessary to rush all the subplots to conclusion in the very end of the book. Ultimately and unfortunately, it was clicking in 5 star territory for me before that. Minor characters were given more prominence than necessary to the central plot in the last few pages, and it was one of the most disappointing declarations of love I’ve read. Credit where it’s due, that was probably quite consistent with Matt’s character.

Good sex scenes, some chuckling from me...it's still a solid 4-star. If you don't want to get caught up in a lot of focus on family-related & career subplot, skip it. For me, it just made these characters more flawed, relatable, and lovable.

Pippa boards a plane from LA going to Ghost Falls, Utah. where her eccentric grandmother Phi/ Philomena is. Grandma Phi had been a world famous opera singer known for her quirkiness and love of life. Pippa is the woman America loves to hate. Her tv show was quickly taken off the air and she no longer had a job. Pipa’s supposed boyfriend/producer Ray - You Tubes latest sensation- had edited the tape of Pippa’s show before airing it. The tape showed Pippa calling her grey haired guest fat, ugly, and unwanted. Pippa was suppose to making the guest over as Pippa hosted a makeover show. After the show Ray was sure pippa’s popularity would nose dive and make his tv ratings quickly go up. No one in in Hollywood stood up for Pippa and tell the truth.  Ironically enough Pippa had felt safe with Ray. Matt does not believe Pippa said those exact words. As they were portrayed to Pippa’s guest. Matt has known Pippa since they were kids. Whenever Pippa came home for a visit they would circle around their attraction but didn’t do anything about it. Matt and Pippa have a steamy affair as she tries to resurrect her career on Twitter. When Pippa left Ghost Falls right after HS at eighteen Matt didn’t go instead he stayed behind to take care of his family after a tragedy. Matt gave up his own personal happiness to take care of his family. Matt is now a contractor and Grandma Phi’s friend. Then Pippa is offered the chance to go back to LA and continue her career.

I basically loved this book. I only had one problem with it as I felt there was just too many side stories. This didn’t make me stop reading the story but it did steal a bit of my enjoyment. I loved Grandma Phi and felt she added a lot to this book.  I also loved Matt and the way he willingly took care of his family. I loved Matt and Pippa together and was rooting for them. This was an easy read and made me chuckle at times. This story kept my interest all through it. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this story and I recommend.

'Positively Pippa' by Sarah Hegger is book One in the "Ghost Falls" series. This is the story of Pippa Turner and Matt Evans.
Pippa left her hometown for L.A right after high school. There she started working on a Hollywood show and also met Ray. All was going great it seemed until her Ray, her boyfriend/producer humiliated her. Pippa up and left town and headed by to her hometown of Ghost Falls. Pippa plans to stay with her Grandmother Philomene 'Phil'. There she is quickly reunited with her long ago crush Matt. Matt is a contractor and has made a friend of her Grandmother. So her Grandmother just so happened to have a water link on the sink the same time Pippa comes through the door. While Pippa thinks about getting her life back together she looks to Matt as a possible diversion. Pippa never acted on her crush for him and now might be the right time for some hot action.
Matt and Pippa had a very playful attitude toward each other. Phil the Grandmother was a hoot. Overall this was a nice coming home book with a second chance at love story.

Positively Pippa is my first book by Sarah Hegger and I can't wait for the next one!  Ms Hegger has delivered a fast-paced book and a smooth read.  The characters are phenomenal and I especially love Phi.  Everyone needs a Phi in their life.  Matt and Pippa's story is cover to cover drama, spice and laugh out loud humor.  I totally love this book and look forward to reading more from Sarah Hegger soon.  This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

 

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book that I received from NetGalley.
