The Shadow of His Past by Nickie Cochran
2.0
medium-paced

I'm not entirely sure whether to shelve this as paranormal romance or not - the two main characters are entirely human, they're just engaging in a romance while sharing a house with an annoying poltergeist. Still, I think it's close enough.

I enjoyed this one more than the first book in the series. I think that's because the emphasis is more on the main couple, and there's not so much going on with the wider circle of friends; it just feels more focused to me. The hero was a little too consistently bad-tempered for my tastes, but the leads were still two decent people trying to help the ghost reconcile with his estranged daughter, even if he was too sulky and racist to really deserve it.
