I was disappointed. Disappointed this book ended and there was no sequel for me! I had such a good time reading this. Who knew a dead husband could be this much fun? I cannot wait to read more from Holly Patrone. Hopefully a sequel will be out soon.

Free on Kindle. Could be spoilers. I forget the plot. This is pretty silly. The writing is OK. The ghost was irritating, a lot, and the whole little penis thing wore out its welcome really really quickly.

Description:
What happens when your husband unexpectedly dies while having sex with you? Well, you get a reputation that leaves a lull in your dating life, that's for sure - and April Serao would know. Six years ago her husband, Sal, died in bed with her, and now she can't even get a date, (unless it's with an inanimate object). So now she's a widowed single mom raising three teenage boys and attempting to hold a full-time job as a Technical Support Engineer at a software company. If that isn't stressful enough, her mother, Marie, won't leave her alone long enough to get anything done, which is the reason she's in her present predicament. Marie drags April to a celebrity psychic so she can talk to Sal, unfortunately his disembodied self decides to stay afterwards to recruit April's help; attempting to thwart her attempts at getting to know a new business associate on a more "personal" level. Can April find a way to deal with work, kids, love, ex-living ex's, and angry neighbors?

Review:
When I was first contacted to review this book, I had my doubts due to its small size and vague cover description, but after reading it, I was very surprised by how enjoyable it was! This chick-lit was funny, witty, and ironic, each chapter more over-the-top and full of laughs than the last. I thought that April was a great character that most women could identify with, and the dialogue, especially between Sal and April was fun and laden with sarcasm. The book was quick, but satisfied my craving for fun and romance, it even had a little paranormal flair. The plot was refreshingly well-written and kept me entertained till the last page - unlike a lot of the chick-lit fiction I have been reading recently, and the cover was adorable! Kudos to the author, I can't wait to read her next book -- hopefully a sequel?

Rating: On the Run (4.5/5)

*** I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. ( )

Well I have to say I was only a little way through this book and it already had me laughing out loud! It is full of quips and wit that make it all the more enjoyable. Poor April is treat like the plague by the male population just because her husband died whilst they were ...er ...shall we say doing the dirty deed! lol The male population seem to think she can kill them with a look or a touch of the hand, its so funny. April also has her Italian mum to contend with who can guilt trip her down a telephone line and does so every night at 7pm sharp. It's one of these phone calls that ends up changing April's life. You see April's mum is chatterring on (as only mum's do) and April is only half listening 9as only us daughter's do) and april ends up volunteering to accompany her mum to a physic show, which April thinks is all a load of rubbish! But seeing she was only half listening and had agreed to go without realising she can't back out now. April prepares to be sat bored by other peoples messages when she ends up the centre of attention, even though she at first denies a message would be for her. Something changes after that evening's show. I am not saying what but please buy this hilarious in places book! Anyway back to April's life, so then along comes Jack from out of state who doesn't initially know about these "touch of death" rumours and even when he finds out he laughs it off and wants a relationship with April. Which should be pretty straightforward .... but and I think I can say a little without spoiling the book for you....April has a certain voice speaking to her, who isn't quite ready to let her go on to another relationship. This voice also lands her right in the middle of a gang battle too. So how does April cope? Read the book and find out it's brilliant!
I must add due to some of the jokes and innuendo this book is meant for adults and not the teenage market. For all lovers of chick-lit this book is a must read hilarious book!! ( )
