At work on Wednesday, I finished reading A Date with the Other Side by Erin McCarthy.

High-powered exec Boston MacNamara has been banished from Chicago to the small town of Cuttersville, OH. There, he meets local gal Shelby Tucker, when Shelby troops through his rented house on her Haunted Houses of Cuttersville tour. While he finds Shelby attractive, she is the complete opposite of the polished, corporate women that Boston is used to dating.

For her part, Shelby also finds Boston attractive, but she finds him amusing, too. She can see how out of place he feels in her small town. When some of the ghosts in the haunted house conspire to get them together, Boston and Shelby can't help but act on their growing attraction, even though they are from different worlds.

This was a light, fun story. Characters were well-drawn, including such secondary characters as Shelby's ex-husband Danny, and her grandmother, whom Boston is renting the house from. I loved Strawberry the (dead) cow, too! Mostly fluff, with a pinch of angst, and all-around delightful.

Four out of five!
