Book Description

Publication Date: August 29, 2006

Nine years ago, Claire Weiss died, which put a serious crimp in her plans. Now, she's caught in Purgatory, waiting for that Big Day when she can reanimate and return to earth and have sex at last! Nine whole days of chocolate! Cute shoes! A real beer! And, most important of all, a chance to reconnect with the object of her long-denied lust, hunky Jake Faron. The minute she materializes in front of her favorite old haunt, er, bar, Devil's Night - complete in Halloween get-up of lingerie and high-heeled mules - she locks eyes with Jake, who is as hunky as ever. Hard-muscled body? Check. Bone-melting smile? Check. Big...hands? Check, check, check. Goodbye, Purgatory - Hel-looo, heaven. The rules are that Claire has nine days to investigate her mysterious death, solve the crime, and do good deeds for others (not as easy as it seems, people) before returning to Purgatory. But she also has nine hot, steamy nights to do absolutely everything she's ever dreamed about doing with Jake. And that's a good thing, because not only does Jake have a secret that could change her whole afterlife, but he's perfectly capable of showing a love-struck ghost plenty of heaven on earth...

4.0 out of 5 stars A Ghostly, Naughty Good Time, October 10, 2006

This review is from: Sex And The Single Ghost (Mass Market Paperback)

Being an avid fan of Fantasy/Paranormal chick lit, I was eager to read this book. It's a story about a girl named Claire who died nine years ago. For the past near decade she has sat in "Purgatory", which is sort of like a version of the Afterlife, or Heaven.

Every nine years, souls in the Afterlife get to go back down to earth in their original physical body for one night - on Halloween. If in that time the person manages to touch a human's soul, they are allowed to stay on earth for nine days and nights.

Claire is desperate to get down to earth because she is dying to have sex. Yes, that's right - apparently in the Afterlife, there is no sex, no eating chocolate, no fun. (Who knew the Afterlife would be full of horny ghosts??) So upon her trip back to earth, she tries to track down the one man that she has desperately wanted to sleep with for years.

[...]

This was a good read overall, but not spectacular. The book paints the most depressing picture of the Afterlife, for one. Imagine sitting in a Heaven, waiting to go back to Earth to have sex. And speaking of sex, this book is bursting with it. There are no less than 5 vivid scenes where the two characters go at it in great detail.

The sideplot of Claire trying to track down how and why she died was interesting. However, the ending of the novel was ridiculous and cheesy.

Overall, I'd give this book a whirl if you are into ghosts having a naughty good time.

Wow, Tawny Taylor has done it again. If you've read any of Tawny's books you won't be disappointed and if you haven't read her yet, well what are you waiting for, start here with Sex and the Single Ghost. This book has humor, hot sex and Claire, who even though is dead is so likeable that you may even see some of yourself in her. Not only does it have some really great sex but it's also about a journey, a journey that Claire undertakes to get answers about her death, however along the way she just may find the love and trust she has lost. Jake has wanted her for years and if she will just listen to her heart and trust in him, she may just find a love to last for all eternity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly Surprised!, September 27, 2006

This review is from: Sex And The Single Ghost (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the first erotica book that I have read. I began reading it with some apprehention that it was going to get more graphic than I wanted to read. I was pleasantly surprised with a funny story line that had a capturing plot. I couldn't put it down! Tawny Taylor has a wonderful sense of romance and comedy with just the right touch of sexual tension. Better than any of the general romance books I have read. I fell in love with Claire and Jake and enjoyed being lost in their world. Of course, now I want to read all of her books, so I just order Wet & Wild!
