Summary: One of a kind romance novel!
Review: "You're the One" by Judi McCoy is different than any other romance novel I've ever read. This romance involves a man who's very much alive and a woman who very much isn't...and hasn't been for quite some time. I know what you're thinking...that there's no way that a living, breathing man and a ghost can fall in love and find happiness. I too was a little skeptical when I picked up the book, but a few chapters in Judi McCoy had convinced me that it was in fact very possible.

Randall MacPherson, the president of MacPherson Development, has just inherited the family manor. It's been boarded up for longer than anyone can count and they say that it's haunted, or at least Rand's crazy uncle Colin said so. Rand, always having a certain respect and love for the old house, decides to move in and begin the tedious job of restoring the old Victorian back to it's original glory. What he doesn't know is that the old ghost tale is in fact true and he's inherited the spirit as well. And she's not too happy to have him!

Cassandra Kinross' story is such a sad one. Forced to marry American Colin MacPherson by her strict Scottish father, Cassandra moves into the new mansion to await her wedding day. Unfortunantely for Cassandra, that day never arrives, as she is buried alive in a make-shift coffin from a closet where she meets her untimely death. Awakening to find herself in the spirit world, Cassandra casts a curse on Colin and all of his male kin that none may find true happiness or love. The curse itself cannot be broken until Cassandra finds her one true love.

The interaction between Rand and Cassandra is at times funny, heartbreaking, and passionate. It's amazing to see Cassandra's transformation from a spirit into a human being as she begins to fall in love with Rand. It's also interesting to see the struggle inside Cassandra as she must overlook her hate for the MacPherson's and accept a man she's cursed into her heart.

Aside from Rand and Cassandra, there is another romance forming between Rand's newly single sister Nancy and his co-worker and longtime friend Bill. These two have always had an attraction to the other, and now that Nancy has divorced her cheating husband Warren (a plastic surgeon), Bill decides to make his move. Their romance is put to the test though by Nancy's two young children, who very much miss their father and are not too eager for another one.

If you're looking for a different sort of contemporary romance novel, "You're the One" by Judi McCoy is right up your alley.

Summary: This is just as adorable as I Dream of You
Review: Judi did it again. Another adorable book that has secondary characters as interesting and fun to read about as the two main characters. The only thing I would have wished for is that she told you a bit more about what happens with Rand and Cassandra in the epilogue (I don't want to give the ending away so I will leave it at that)I am just bummed that now I have to wait until September 2002 for her next book.

Summary: Charming second book
Review: Judi McCoy is a great new voice in paranormal romance. In this story, Cassandra Kinross's spiteful fiance bricks her behind a closet when she refuses to marry him. Cassandra, who practiced witchcraft in her native Scotland, curses her fiance and all his descendants. 100 years later, Rand McPherson inherits the house from his great great uncle, who went mad after he was abandoned by his bride on their wedding day.

Cassandra is furious that another McPherson male is taking over her house and her life. Rand is thrilled he has his own personal ghost. Through love and magic, Cassandra finds her way to become human. Rand admits that he loves her, but cannot believe her.

The ending is heartwrenching and frightening at the same time. The story made me laugh and cry, and definitely believe that true love will always find a way.

Summary: Adorable Fantasy
Review: Judi McCoy's second book is even better than her first. Cassandra Kinross is murdered by her miserable fiance and walled up in a closet in the house he built for her. 100 years later, Rand McPherson, the fiance's great great nephew inherits the house and decides to renovate it for himself. Rand is the first person Cassandra has met since her fiance went mad and closed the house. She's angry that an upstart and a relative of the man who murdered her is going to take over her home. Rand is shocked then intrigued when he finds that his future home is haunted. Cassandra has special powers and manages to find her mortality through her love for Rand. Rand is liberated by Cassandra's all encompassing love. The story also has a wonderful secondary romance between Rand's sister and his best friend, two cute kids, a wacky mother and a slightly off the wall mystic. The ending of this book is heartwrenching, but there are many poignant and humorous moments in between. All in all a wonderful read.
