Psychic Selena James is
having the kind of week
that makes her happy to
talk to the dead. First,
famously skeptical (and
sinfully sexy) writer,
Trent Sanders, called
her delusional on TV.
Next, her outraged
mother publicly
challenged him to spend
two weeks with Selena at
the haunted Garvey
Hotel. Now, if Selena
can’t prove ghosts
exist, she’ll answer to
Trent’s private wager:
one night in his bed. It
doesn’t take any psychic
abilities to know Trent
could satisfy a woman’s
every fantasy. And she
may find out very soon,
if the two sex-starved
ghosts in residence have
their way…
Trent Sanders doesn’t
believe in anything he
can’t see, taste, or
touch, and what he sees
right now he would
definitely enjoying
tasting and touching.
Selena James might be a
bit kooky, but she’s
also blessed with a body
that could certainly
raise the dead, if not
talk to them. She’s even
got a wicked sense of
humor, like when she
pinched his butt and
insisted it wasn’t her,
but one of the “ghosts.”
Riiiiiight. But as
things move from
“haunted” to extremely
hot, Trent’s starting to
believe the paranormal
is a one-way—make that
four-way—ticket to
paradise…

A psychic
and a skeptic are forced to stay in a vacant hotel
trying to prove the other one wrong, but two meddlesome
ghosts have other plans and between the sheets takes on
a new meaning when they're Double Dating With The Dead.
Trent wrinkled his nose. “What is that smell? It’s
almost as bad as the Ft. Worth Stockyards in the middle
of summer.”
She’d hoped he wouldn’t notice. “Uh...gris-gris.” She
refused to look him in the eye. “Mom went to New Orleans
a few years ago. She took the voodoo tour.”
“What’d she do, dig up a dead body as a souvenir and
haul it back with her? A corpse doesn’t count as a
ghost, you know.”
“Not funny.” She untied the leather string at the back
of her neck and brought the small bag from her
shirtfront. “It’s an amulet. You know, to ward off evil
spirits.”
“Ward them off? Hell, it’d kill them. What’s in it?”
Her nose scrunched up. “I was afraid to ask,” she
admitted. “I’m pretty sure garlic.” Lots and lots of
garlic.
Enough that her eyes watered.
“Please tell me you’re not planning on wearing that for
the next two weeks.”
What did he think she was? As if she didn’t know the
answer to that. “I thought I’d put it under my pillow,”
she snapped.
“Oh, honey, I can think of much better ways to keep you
safe from evil spirits.”

"Don’t you just love it when you
start reading a book and know by the start of the second
chapter that the author will be on your auto buy list?
That is what happened to me with Double Dating with the
Dead. It is a fantastic story that had me laughing
constantly while admiring the author’s talent in keeping
my attention solely focused on every written
word...Karen Kelley is an author not to be missed with
her ability of infusing so much humor, warmth and
intrigue into her stories that makes them so fun and
easy to read." -- Tammy,
Fallen Angel Reviews.
Blue Ribbon Rating 5!"DOUBLE DATING WITH THE DEAD is a fun, fast-paced,
paranormal romance with an engaging plot and compelling
characters. While Trent and Selena are definitely the
hero and heroine of the book, Dixie and Wesley
frequently steal the show with their behavior when they
appear to Selena. They lead her on wild goose chases and
cause her to have sexy, erotic dreams that just happen
to be shared by Trent. These are the two ghosts I want
to meet if I ever encounter any apparitions. Karen
Kelley has a flair for writing books that you can't put
down and DOUBLE DATING WITH THE DEAD is no exception. I
thoroughly enjoyed the antics of the ghosts, as well as
the amusing banter between Trent and Selena. This
well-written, entertaining book is a must-read for all
paranormal romance readers. Pick up a copy of Kelley’s
thrilling romance and have a ghostly good time. Believe
me, a haunted house has never been so much fun!" --
