A Ghost in Shining Armor is a cute, quick romcom that is innovative and different from anything I’ve ever read in this genre. Gemma, a generally sunshiney person, learns she has a twin sister that her parents chose not to adopt with her, and now she must handle the emotional turmoil of being angry with her parents (an unfamiliar emotion) and wanting a relationship with her still-a-stranger sister. Another thing to know about Gemma? She sees ghosts and guides them to their afterlife. She might be just a little stressed.

Levi is a newly minted ghost. He isn’t the kind of ghost who Gemma normally sees - Levi is on a mission to help Gemma with her sister so that he can go back to his life with his own family. He definitely does not expect to fall in love with his charge.

This book was cute, if a little bit repetitive. Gemma has many (many) intrusive sexy thoughts about Levi and constantly has to chide herself for them. I appreciated the dual POV; I think I honestly liked reading from Levi’s POV more than from Gemma’s. Gemma is just so stymied by her insecurity (which is completely valid but still hard to read in some places) that there were times where I was just hoping Levi would jump in and save her from herself.

I would have LOVED more info on this apparent multiverse that Levi comes from? I think it was glossed over that he literally comes from a different reality. Such a cool concept that I would have loved to explore more.

Solid 3 out of 5 stars. I wish more of the romance and conflict were on page instead of spoken about in bits and pieces and a little retrospect, but it was an enjoyable quick read to cure any book hangover.

Gemma Daniels has never been quite the “down to earth” woman her adoptive parents raised her to be. She even has a unique gift: she can see ghosts—and she likes helping them settle their unfinished business. But the hotter-than-hot stranger she impulsively kisses on a bet is not only a phantom, he's determined to help her. And the only way Gemma can explain his presence is to pretend they’re a real-life couple…

Levi Walker lived—and died—to save his sister. Now he’s got a second chance at life if he assists Gemma in reuniting with her own long-lost sibling… and then never sees Gemma again. But as he starts to enjoy her irrepressible personality, he’s finding it hard to abide by any rules at all…

Gemma is thrilled to be getting to know her sister, but it causes a family rift she may not be able to heal. On top of that, she’s falling for a ghost with a dilemma. For Levi must decide what loyalty—and living—is truly all about. To fix their mistakes, Gemma and Levi must risk being real with themselves—and each other—if they’re ever to claim true love…

I loved this novel and the idea behind the story, it's a compelling story, but also a funny and very romantic comedy!
The characters are fantastic and I would want to be there with them for a funny chat.
It was a quick, laugh-filled read, I literally couldn't stop reading the book!

I will definitely read more of the author because she is exceptionally talented.
Absolutely recommended if you are looking for a different and very fun romance.
