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.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nice, if you don't take your romance `seriously'
Review: Judi McCoy's You're the One is a story of a young witch who was murdered by an enraged fiancee on their wedding day 100 years ago and entombed in a grand house he had built.

A century later, her murderer's decendant, Rand McPherson, reopened the house and planned to renovate and refurbish it. He was delighted to see Cassandra Kinross existed, true to the family legend and wants to get to know her.

Cassandra is not too thrilled with the renovation and tries to sabotage the operations. But because she was complacent the last 100 years and did not bother to practise her magic, it wasn't very powerful to say the least.

Judi's story takes a twist because Cassandra does not remain a ghost and somehow becomes more and more solid, until she's almost human. And that's complicated by Rand falling in love with her though he does not want to take advantage of her dependence on him as she has already been wronged by his family.

You're The One is a light tale on love between a supernatural and a human. If you're one of those who wants romance to be serious and somewhat based on reality, then you might want to give this a miss. Otherwise, it's an enjoyable book to read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Lighthearted Fun
Review: Just imagine the havoc a ghost can bring to a guy who is trying to remodel the house she has been living in for the past 100 years and you have an idea of the fun that's in store for you if you read this book. Cassandra is a VERY inventive ghost.

But aside from Cassandra, 2 of my favorite characters are Rand's mother and Madame Ragnar who ride around in a Humm-vee and try to help Cassandra without Rand knowing.

"You're the One" is funny and (okay, here it comes!) "spirited" with a surprise or two at the end.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sweet, charming and funny
Review: This book had it all, and from a new writer, no less. I read Ms. McCoy's first book and liked it so much I decided to get the second one. You're the One had me laughing throughout and crying at the end. The characters are so real, even though one is a ghost, and their reactions to circumstances are on the money. I can't wait for September 2002 and her next release.

Summary: Really Cute!
Review: When I read the blurb on this one I just wasn't sure it would work for me. But, since I liked Judi McCoy's other books, I gave it a try. I have to confess I enjoyed it to the hilt. Yes, it's light; yes, it requires a little suspension of disbelief, but the funny, sexy, and quite delightful tale is worth the read. I particularly liked Rand's mom and the medium and their prosaically mystical attempts to help the two lovers. What a hoot. Enjoy!
