I will start off by saying this book proves you should not always judge a book by its cover...or that you should! The cover is definitely hot, but what I got inside was an outstanding and sexy paranormal romance!

As an assistant to a the event manager of a marketing firm, Tess Jennings lives a pretty normal life, well except for the ability to see and talk to spirits. She spends most of her time ignoring these sometimes annoying spirits but every once in a while, one comes along that touches her heart and Tess can't help but pay attention. That is exactly what happens to her when she encounters Kipp McGowan. He's the sexiest ghost she's ever seen and simply will not leave her alone. When Tess finally gives in and acknowledges Kipp, she learns he's a cop who was murdered while working a disappearance case of a young girl. Tess must reveal her ability to his old partner and hope he believes her if she has any chance of helping Kipp find his murderer and that of the missing Hannah Reid. It's trying not to fall for the handsome ghost that is going to be her biggest problem!

Tess is an enchanting protagonist, she's not only smart, but funny and has the girl next door qualities that make the more endearing. I love her attitude and how she isn't a shy or submissive woman, she has no problem telling you how she feels. Her vulnerability was shown in the tender moments shared with Kipp and showed a different side of her I really enjoyed. The hero, Kipp is pure, raw sexual magnetism from the moment he appears. He knows just what to say to a woman to make her weak in the knees and I for one forgot that he was a ghost for half of the story!

The romance was a perfect package of sweet, sensual and erotic. Tess and Kipp will touch your hearts and have you fanning yourself with their passion. A little suspense, humor and steamy romance make Supernaturally Kissed a read you'll want to pick up and not put down until you reach the last page!

Is pressed by unseen feet, and ghosts return
Gently at twilight, gently go at dawn,
The sad intangible who grieve and yearn.... - T.S. ELIOT, To Walter de la Mare

Tess Jennings, assistant to Event Manager Dylan Cobb, loves her job at Randall Marketing. the pay is good and her boss is always somewhere around the world doing promotional work. she is pretty much left on her own - except for the spirits. Tess sees them daily. they come to her asking for help so they could cross over. on her way to work one day, Tess encounters the ghost of Kipp McGowan, a cop with the Memphis Police Department. she attempts to ignore him and fails.
Kipp was working on a cold case file and following up a lead when he died. he asks Tess to seek out his partner Detective Zach Foster and fill him in so Zach could move along with the case. with Tess' assistance, Kipp hopes not only to solve the disappearance of Hannah Reid but also to learn who was responsible for his death.
there is a lot about this book that bring to my mind the movie Ghost and the TV series Ghost Whisperer. the writer might have been inspired by them but Stolen Dreams is much more fun!
the dialogs between Tess and Kipp are witty and amusing. the plot is interesting and the pacing is fast. Tess and Kipp's unlikely partnership and "romance" also caters to a more mature audience who love supernatural themes with a bit of steam on the side.
i really had fun reading this book though i still find the idea of falling for a ghost creepy and unnerving . i just had to focus on the fact that one of the reasons why i read is to escape into uncharted territories and lose myself in what could be plausible. somehow, author Stacey Kennedy managed to remind me of this and got away with it.

Let me just start off by saying that I really liked this one. Stolen Dreams by Stacey Kennedy is super sexy and really fun with a wonderful little mystery thrown into the mix.

Tess sees dead people. Okay, maybe not quite. She sees spirits. She wishes she didn’t, but ever since she was in a bad car accident when she was a teenager and was declared dead for a short time, she has this fancy dandy ability. She usually tries to avoid contact with them (because when she acknowledges them, they usually asks for her help and she has a life, you know) but there is one very very persistent spirit who refuses to let her get away. His name is Kipp.

Oh Kipp…*mega swoon* Somehow, Stacey managed to make a ghost sexy as hell. I think what helped is that the spirits in this book aren’t all transparent and spooky. They look like they did before death but their abilities have changed. Meaning they float more than walk and can go through walls and people can walk through them. All things that make falling for one a little challenging. Kipp is a cop who died while investigating a cold case file. You think that the reason he’s still floating around is to catch his killer, but is seems there is more to it. His attraction to Tess is a first for this former one-night-stand dude and, with Tess is feeling it too, it’s proving to be quite confusing for both of them.

Tess was fun! I especially loved the scene where she needs to go to the police station and convince them that Kipp is with her. Quite funny. She’s a smart and sassy character and I liked her immediately. I’m glad she’s gonna be around for a couple more books.

I know right?! A ghost and a person falling for each other… That’s a strange mix. But there is real chemistry between them and Stacey writes it well. Often I would forget he was a ghost only to suddenly think ‘Um ew! He’s a ghost’ and then follow up with ‘Where can I get me a Kipp?’

Because let me tell you, Kipp has ‘talents’! Now I must say that the ‘Um ew! He’s a ghost’ thing was going through my mind during the first love scene, and it was occasionally joined by ‘but how is that even possible?’, but the twist there was cool. Yes the twist was cool, but the lovin’ wasn’t. It was hot! When I finished this book, I asked the author if it was PNR or Erotica because the love scenes and the chemistry really falls right in between both. She told me Stolen Dreams is classed as an Urban Fantasy Romance. So…technically a romance book, but still the lovin’… *fans herself*

As I neared the ending of this book, my thoughts turned a little sad. I kept thinking ‘How on earth are these two ever going to get their HEA?!’ But not to worry. Stacey assured me that at the end of this three book series, this couple will indeed have their happy ending. I have no idea how she is going to pull that off, but I for sure will be along for the ride. Book two, which remains unnamed, will hopefully be available sometime in August. Until then, I will for sure dream of Kipp and his wicked mouth. *drifts off to dreamy-land*(less)

I’ll be the first to admit that going into this book I wasn’t sure what I’d get. I was expecting an average tale, okay, but nothing too great. Instead, I got....this. It. Was. Fantastic! It was a quick, quirky, easy read that was both humorous and serious at times too.
The storyline itself was your pretty basic girl-can-talk-to-ghosts tale, something I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’d seen before and yet the story drew me in from the very beginning and wouldn’t let me go.
I found the storyline to be fun and interesting with just the right amount of wit and sass, but it was the characters that made it so much more.
I thought all the characters were perfect with their own perfect place within the story. From Tess to Kipp, to Zach and Caley and others along the way; they were all different and totally awesome.

When we were first introduced to Tess I wasn’t sure I was going to like her. I can’t exactly say why, but I worried for a moment that she was going to be one of those heroines that get on my nerves. Well...she wasn’t! She was fantastic! She was smart and sassy, with a fantastic attitude and a good heart under everything. Tess was a fabulous, independent woman, and I loved her wit and sharp tongue. She was strong, but she was realistic with a vulnerable side that made her more human. She was definitely my kind of gal!
And Kipp! Whoa! Was he smokin’ or what? Don’t answer that—rhetorical question. From the very beginning of the story I could not get enough of Kipp. From the very moment he begun to follow Tess around and bug her I knew this was a guy I was going to like...and did I ever! Perhaps it’s because I’ve always had a thing for cops, but I thought he was one of those great all-round male characters who have it all. He had an amazing heart, but I liked his cocky attitude and naughtiness more of all. I loved how he was able to get to Tess. He knew just what to say and do to drive her insane and it was hilarious watching him get to her the way he did.

The best part of this story was undoubtedly the relationship between Tess and Kipp. The chemistry between them was smouldering; it was hot and feisty and totally caught me from the beginning. The author has written their relationship so well. The way they fell for one another happened over a short period of time, yet never once did it feel rushed or forced and the reasons for why they were attracted to one another and cared for one another made sense and went together perfectly. I thought it was so sweet that Tess didn’t want to develop feelings for Kipp; that she wanted to keep him at a distance, but he was still able to worm his way into her heart.
I thought Zach was a great guy too and it was obvious how close he and Kipp had been before his death. It made me sad at first, but then as the story drew on, I enjoyed the way they still had that comradeship too. I’d love to see more of him in future books, and learn more of his budding relationship with Caley too--now those too are going to be a fire rocket together.

Throughout the whole book I wondered who it was that had killed Hannah and had murdered Kipp too. I admit there were a few people I suspected, but in the end when the actual killer showed up in the story I knew it was him straight away. It was fairly obvious and therefore I wasn’t surprised when it was later revealed.
I found the ending of the book to be abrupt, but I loved it regardless. I worried the whole way through what would happen once they solved the case. Would Kipp leave? Would he move on? Just what would happen to him? I wanted to know, needed to know and I was happy with the ending.
I’m looking forward to the next book. I’m looking forward to seeing more of Tess and Kipp. I’d love for them to find a way to really be together and I want to see what happens now to Zach and the rest of the force; will Tess work for them now? Will they become a crime fighting team...ghost, cop and girl who can talk to the dead? I doubt it, but I still can’t wait!
Bring on the next book!

1st person POV. I readily admit that I don't like 1stPOV. Usually I find the voice annoying and limiting but when I like the heroine, then all that goes out the window. I'm not above enjoying flighty, shallow heroines. I loved Betsy (Mary Janice Davidson) until the series imploded. That wasn't the case with Tess. She came off to me as a spoiled, annoying, selfish, entitled and rather toxic.

The end result was I just couldn't get past a few lines.

Being a dark brunette with the long shag look, emerald eyes surrounded by dark lashes, body of a twenty year old with boobs which screamed of youth, my looks were never the problem.

Once done, I made my way back to the bathroom to take on the task of becoming a sexy kitten.

With my low-riding dark wash jeans and blue plaid three-quarter length sleeve top, tied to leave my midriff exposed, I couldn’t have been more pleased.

Ok. I know. It's my buttons but I just can't stand to read about a heroine who is Mayor MarySue of Shallowville. So besides Tess thinking how hot she is, she came across as kinda stupid about ghosts and dealing with their issues even though she's supposed to have dealt with it before. I mean if she had an accident and suddenly got to talk to ghosts it would make more sense but the scene at the police station and then with ghosties' partner just made me cringe. The story became a sitcom version of Ghost Whisperer & Sex in the City with a dash of [insert your favorite police drama].

I decided to take a break from this story, but when I picked it up again...well, I just started skimming. My initial reaction hadn't changed. I get it that some readers may really enjoy this story but it just didn't work for me. I just couldn't get passed a heroine that I hated with purple passion.

So why two stars instead of one? Well, at its core, there is a story that was good if it hadn't pushed my buttons. The scene with hero ghost and victim ghost was really awesome. But then the heroine speaks up again. And have I said how I really hated Tess? So yeah, the end? I just didn't care.

I thought this was a good book. The story line was a good one and really opened up to the concept of future books.

I would have liked to see the situation with Kipp resolve itself, though it was left open to be resolved later. It's one of those devices, though, that if dragged on through too many books, I lose interest in.

I had a few issues with the characters. Kipp was a bit of a jerk at times and it's a personal pet peeve of mine when the heroine is angry at the hero but becomes so overcome wi...more

If you liked the TV show 'The Ghost Whisperer', then this is a book for you. Tess sees and hears ghosts who come to her when they have unfinished business to deal with before they can cross over. This is the first book in the series and shows great promise of things to come.

Kipp was a cop working on a case when he was murdered and he needs to find his killer. Once he realize that Tess can see and talk to ghost he does everything he can to get her attention. He starts off by following her around, annoying her and when he realizes she still will not acknowledge him he starts seducing her, getting her hot and bothered while she and her girlfriend are having drinks in a bar. Oh my goodness Kipp had me hot and bothered during this scene.

“You’d come into your orgasm because I’d leave you with no other choice. But I wouldn’t stop there.” He ran his finger along my exposed lower back and the coldness against my hot skin made me shiver. “Without giving you the chance to recover, I’d flip you over on your knee’s,” his tone dipped lower, “and fuck you senseless.”

Tess was in a car wreck a few days after her seventeenth birthday that almost killed her, but a doctor saved her and she was left with the ability to see and talk to ghost. She decides to help Kipp solve his own murder case. She has never had feelings for a ghost before until Kipp came into her life. She knows it is pointless to fall in love with a ghost. Because once they solve his murder case, he can leave and rest in peace. The problem is Kipp gives her comfort. For the first time in her life she does not want to help a ghost go to the other side. She wants him to stay with her.

While on their journey trying to solve his murder case. Their feelings for each other are not going away, just becoming stronger and finally gets to a point where they both can not deny it any longer. They have beautiful and sexy chemistry right from the beginning. Stacey Kennedy out did herself with sex between Tess and Kipp. Since he is a ghost and she can not touch him, Kipp still finds a way to make love to Tess. These scenes are done so well I forget at times Kipp was a ghost. Wow... Kipp must of been one sexy lover while living because as a ghost he got my girly parts all tingly.

"I'd run my lips across your silky skin as I nibbled your shoulders," his finger feathered along my upper body, "until I reached right along here." He trailed his touch down to the center of my chest. "Then when I got here..." he ran his finger over one taut nipple, "I'd flick them with my tongue."

I moaned. Shivered. Hungered. The Contact felt so cold, so light and so incredible.

He circled his finger around the tight bud. "I'd suck on it, bite down, showing you just how much your breasts entice me, and I'd rub my erection against your thigh so you could feel what you do to me."

Supernaturally Kissed was an amazing read. It had a little of everything, erotic, paranormal, funny and suspense. The plot was so good with the twist and turns that I could not flip my e-reader fast enough. Stayed up late to finish and right away I wanted more of Kipp and Tess that I had to buy and started reading Demonically Tempted (Frostbite #2). Stacey Kennedy is a excellent writer and now is on my favorite authors list. I am now hooked on her Frostbite series and look forward to reading all her other novels.

Highly recommend Supernaturally Kissed to all paranormal fans. If you are like me and love more Shifters and Vampires in Paranormal Romance take the chance with Supernaturally Kissed because you will fall in love with her ghost hero Kipp. I am so happy I did because now Supernaturally Kissed is a keeper for me to read over and over again.

The covers drew me in and when I read the blurb I had a feeling it was going to be a good series. Now I am a total Paranormal junkie, but to be honest I haven't really read a lot with Ghost's, it is a particularly interesting subject to me being able to talk with the spirits, mediums and so on. My father passed away 5-years ago and I'll tell you there hasn't been a day gone by I wish to hell I could see him, talk to him just one more time. So when I read the blurb for this series I had a feeling it was going to be good. What I didn't realize was that is was going to be awesome.

Tess and Kipp have to be two of the most favorite characters I have loved reading. Tess is just a normal down to earth, girl next door kinda gal, living her life, going to work, being with her friend Carley, who by the way is so funny, I liked her right away, but Tess has this ability that really only Carley knows about. She has the ability to see, hear and talk with ghosts who haven't crossed over yet, she was in a fatal car accident and after being brought back to life woke up with this ability.

Kipp McGowen, a young cop, hot, sexy, funny, kind, did I say hot.....omg this man sizzles, but there's one problem....he's a ghost who is trying desperatly to get Tess to help him. The heat the bounces between Tess and Kipp makes you need to have a cold shower after reading this book, or go make your partner/spouse a very happy person :) So Kipp the hunk needs Tess to help him find out not only who killed him but Hannah as well which is contected to Kipp's death as the story begins. This book is packed full of everything you look for in a great book, funny, shocking, mystery, a love story, sizzling sexy scenes, a fantastic plot and story line that will take you on an incredible rollercoaster ride of emotions with an ending that I DID NOT see coming. I could NOT put this book down, I read it in a day and went on to book #2 and read it in a day.

Book two picks up right where the first one ends, now you really must read them in order to understand and grasp the whole concept to fully enjoy them. The cast of characters is one you will bond with, Eddie, Max, Zach, I'd have to say Zach and Carley are so funny, they are like your best friends, you will laugh out loud at Tess with her bold attitude, she has no problem telling you like it is, she is a call em how she see's em gal, but kind, vulnerable, soft hearted. I really liked Tess she reminded me of myself lol.

This series is one you really don't want to pass by, if your looking for something new, action packed, great love story, sexy, hot as hell scenes, fantastic cast and an outstanding story, this is the series you will want to sit out on your deck in the wonderful sun or take to the beach with you. This is a huge summertime hit and I can't wait until the Fall for book #3, I will probably have withdrawls until I get the third book in my hands. Bravo Stacey Kennedy Bravo!!!! Enjoy everyone!!(less)

I am a Stacey Kennedy fan so I was excited to read this story. I found the idea of falling in love with a ghost unique.
Stacey Kennedy is a storyteller. She creates characters that are easily invested in, sets them in a world that is believable and carefully put together. She has the ability to pace the story is such a way that it just unfolds before you from the pages you don't realize you are turning. I enjoy her writing style.

Those words are buried in this truly engaging tale of ghosts, murder, and mayhem. I got this book because of all the wonderful things people were saying about it and I liked the blurb. It’s quite an intriguing storyline- girl who can see and hear ghosts is asked by the hottie ghost of a police officer to help him solve his last case.

Tess wants to ignore the new ghost who has discovered that she can see him, but Kipp is stubborn and is not afraid to use underhanded means to get his way including talking dirty in her ear and getting a rise out of her while at the time she is on a date with another guy. This scene had me roaring with laughter.
Knowing that her life will have no peace until she gives him her attention, she gives in and tries to help him complete his last case. Tess knows how it all works because ever since she had her near death experience, she has been able to see and hear ghosts. They all come to her with similar issues. Namely, they need her to help them resolve why they still linger. None of them can remember their past and some cannot even remember without her nudging their memories what that all important last task is. Tess hates it all.
She learns there is something different about Kipp right away- besides her attraction to him that is. Kipp retains all his memories and has none of vagueness or confusing fears that all the other ghosts have.
Kipp and his partner, Zach, had been working on a five year old cold case. Kipp was shot when he was out following up a clue. To find the killer, Kipp convinces a very reluctant Tess that they need the help of Zach. Tess has to convince him that she is not crazy and that Kipp is a ghost. That was hilarious, I must say.
After convincing the detectives, which now include not only Zach, but Max and Eddie, they set to work. The clues lead to the fact that it was one of their own- a police officer.
Through the investigation, Tess realizes that she has feelings for Kipp particularly because he continues to astound her by not acting like other ghosts. Kipp is equally drawn to her even as they both keep having to give themselves reality checks. As the case progresses, they know that the solution will probably bring resolution to Kipp and he will be released to go on.

I thought the plot, pace and dialogue of this book was fantastic. From the first words to the last, I was engaged. The flirty talk between Kipp and Tess was my favorite part of the book. Working on the solution to the murder case and the action in the big climactic scene was pretty exciting. I just have to address one thing for the curious out there because I was too. As the story progressed, I kept wondering what Kipp and Tess would do with that pent up passion that was building in both of them. He’s a ghost after all and they cannot actually touch. Well- Stacey Kennedy is an amusing and creative gal.

It is not a long story and I read it all in one sitting. The case is resolved, but there are lots of questions that are left open for the next book in the series. Tess is invited to leave her job and begin working with the police to help solve cold cases. She also needs to find others like her so she can get her questions answered about Kipp and learn more about her ‘gift’.

The characters were great and I’m not just talking about Kipp and Tess. His partner, Zach and her BFF Caley were not just there to background Kipp and Tess. They were scene stealers in their own right. Caley is such a force of nature and Zach is just a huge teddy bear of a guy at times. I hope they are all back together again in the next book.

Now I am eager to read the sequel because this was a very satisfying read that left me wanting more Kipp and Tess.

Review Written for www.books-n-kisses.com

If you liked the show “Ghost Whisperer” then you will love this book. Imagine if you watched the “Ghost Whisperer” and she fell for one of her ghosts and together they went out and solved crimes. Well if you can imagine that then pick up this book because you will really enjoy it.

Tess can see ghost and reluctantly helps them to cross over and has never let one of them become more than a project. That is until Kipp needs her help. This book had me laughing...more

This is a really great book. It is a steamy book but with a heart. You really love the characters in it. The dynamics between Tess and Kipp were at times heart wrenching and then swoon worthy.

Tess is able to talk to spirits but doesn't want to. She has always ignored them in hopes of keeping a normal life. Well the insistent Kipp (who is a spirit) is having none of the brush off treatment from Tess. He follows her around - making it difficult for Tess to ignore him. Finally after a rather steam...more

MICHELLE'S REVIEW:

RATING : 4.25 KIPP & ZACH STARS!!

Kipp, one hot, hot, cop who happens to be a ghost and a ghost whisperer type character, Tess, make for a great read.

Kipp talks dirty and he knows how to get Tess’s attention. How long can she hold out ignoring him. Sometimes it’s easier on Tess if she ignores the ghosts needing somebody to lend an ear. But, this hunk of a man/ghost will not let up until Tess gives him her attention. One way or the other Kipp is going to get Tess’s attention...more

This was a quick read book that I had done in a few hours. I found some of the story was really interesting while some just seemed to drag on. I liked that Tess was willing to look crazy talking to herself in public to a ghost no one can see when she was mad. Tess is a very strong willed woman with a strong personality that would not let a man boss her around. Speaking of strong willed I think her best friend is a riot!

I have read other books that had ghost characters in them and my first ghost themed romance book was Shade by Jeri Smith-Ready which is Young Adult. Supernaturally Kissed is the grown up version with a murder mystery, humor and some hot sexy moments between Tess and Kipp.

She can see and communicate with the spirits of the dead. Once the departed figures out that she knows they are there they become very persistent in getting her to help them. She really doesn’t mind helping them, but she doesn’t enjoy looking like a crazy who talks to herself. To keep herself from appearing to those around her as a crazy she ignores the spirits. There’s only one problem with her newest follower. The sexy ghost will not let her ignore him and he has discovered the key to keep her attention on him.

Kipp was a cold case detective with the Memphis Police Department. He is now one of the spirits that wants Tess to help him. He was murdered when he had gotten too close to obtaining some unanswered questions to his current case. Using blatant flirting, dirty talking and plenty of flattery he keeps Tess’s attention solely on him. Now he just has to convince her to walk into Memphis P.D. with him and tell his partner that he is there and wants to continue working the case that left him dead.

Supernaturally Kissed is a light fluffy romance that is full of every emotion possible. I kept a smile on my face the majority of the book. Kipp has a personality that left this earth far too early. Now only Tess gets to experience his antics. I also found myself getting tearful at times. They truly do have an impossible relationship. Even when they give intimacy a go it’s hot, yet sad because one of them is missing the corporal form needed.

Kipp and Tess have such a sweet romance. I wanted so much more for them and I think that is what didn’t work for me with Supernaturally Kissed. It has a happy ending, but it feels more like a happily for now than a happily ever after. There’s another book coming out soon in this series, Demonically Tempted so perhaps it will shed some more light on how their relationship will work. I WILL read it. I loved the characters, all of them not just Tess and Kipp. They are in love and willing to do anything to be together. I was just left feeling hopeless for them. Their situation seems an impossible one.

Kipp is a former cop who was killed while investigating a cold case, and now he’s determined to solve the case. All he has to do is persuade the reluctant Tess to help him.

I will say that if you come to the Lair, you know that I am not a virgin to Ms. Stacey's work. I have come to really love her writing style. But this story... Well, this story has a twist!

I have come to really love her writing style. But this story... Well, this story has a twist! And watching Stacey's writing develop this story into the intriguing series I know it will be was a delight. This story captivated me and left me wondering what is to come... because damnit.. I want to know!!! **Pounds fist on the table and pouts**

Tess is a woman unlike any woman that you will ever meet... She has a unique ability, one that sometimes drives her mad... She tries her hardest to keep it a secret because really... Who wants to know that ghost talk to you. Yea... that is her secret and she guards it very carefully. I don't blame her. The "gift" as some would call it, came to her when she was involved in a car accident with her parents. They passed away that day and she came as close as any person could come to death's door. Now think about that... I mean you lose your parents and suddenly find yourself the counselor for ghosts that need to cross over would be a little overwhelming. But you will find yourself giggling along with Tess and also feeling for her lose and love. She is a trip though!

Then there is Kipp... He is a cop... Wait..no, he was a cop. He was shot in the line of duty when he got to close to cold case him and his partner, Zach was working on. Kipp is the ghost that will forever change Tess's life and I do mean forever!!! He is man, damnit.. ghost that makes her hot, makes her mad, but most of all... makes Tess fall in love. He is one hell'va man; ghost. He is not most ghost that Tess has encountered... He remembers his life as it was the day he died and he is not sure why he is in the afterlife... Not sure what he is waiting for or on... Or could he possibly have been waiting for Tess...

This is a great set up to the beginning of a great series. Stacey has given me everything I need to satisfy the hussy within. She gave me the drama of the story, she gave me the suspense of what was to come and the most important part but also the most intriguing part is that she gave me enough heat to make it hot while reading. And now you will find yourself going back to re read that statement and then say... "Cecile, you said the man was a ghost... How in the hell is there heat??" And I would have to say to you... You are just going to have to read to find out how because believe me, I was quite shocked at how Stacey pulled this one off!

To watch these two work together... or I should say these three.... Well, I will just say to watch Tess work with a few fellow officers to work on the case is very entertaining. To watch how the case unfolds all because the ghost of the girl that was murdered helped them solve her case. Tess learns that her "gift," truly could be considered a gift... But is that what she wants to do. Opening herself for ridicule, opening herself to be bombarded by those spirits that cannot find rest... I am not sure that is what Tess wanted to do... But when she meets Kipp, like I said... All that changed.

Then to top it all off, Stacey has left me hanging on by a damn fingernail because I truly have formed my own damn theory as to what has happened and what is to come and now I need her to write more stories so I can see if what I think will truly happen. I truly hope you pick up this story... You will not be disappointed! In fact, you will find yourself looking for the next one to come!! Ms. Stacey, you have done it again... You have intrigued, enticed, teased and simply left me wanting more.

Tess was forever changed when she was involved in an accident, and not only because she lost her parents that day. She now has the gift, or curse, to see dead people.

Usually preferring to ignore them until she is faced with Kipp. Not only is he hot as sin, too bad he's a ghost, but he is persistent as well.

At seventeen Tess Jennings was involved in a tragic accident, accident in which she lost her parents and she was clinically dead for couple of minutes. After her ordeal Tess woke up with a gift or as sometimes she calls it a curse, she can see dead people.

Living with her gift and pretending to be normal is not an easy task, she tries to ignore the ghosts around her as much as possible, but Kipp McGowen is a different kind of ghost, he’s not only persevering but sexy as hell. Kipp was a policeman who died investigating the cold case of the disappearance of a young girl. He is sure he was murdered because he was too close to finding the culprit. Kipp needs to give all the information he has to his partner Zach Foster so he can continue the investigation and for that he needs Tess’ help. Tess doesn’t want to get involve but Kipp methods of persuasion are almost impossible to deny.

I really liked Tess, I loved her sense of humor and her sassiness. I understand completely her position in regards to ghosts and her desire to be normal. I also loved how she took things in hands and accept the responsibility she had at hand.

Kipp, oh my god Kipp! He is smart, funny, caring and hot as sin, he is the dream hero with a corporeal problem.

Since the first moment they met the attraction between Tess and Kipp is off the charts, the sexual tension builds page after page making my reader rise steam and making me pray for a solution for Kipp’s little lack of body problem. I didn’t know how they could have something but Mrs. Kennedy found a very plausible solution to this dilemma.

From the secondary characters I really loved Kipp’s police partner and friend Zach, he was great and brought many funny moments to the story. The other cops Max and Eddie were also great and very entertaining. I just had a little problem with Tess’ best friend Caley, she was just too much, her personality was almost a bit cartoonish, so much that I wanted to hit her on the head more than once.

Supernaturally Kissed is not only a book different from the norm but a very funny and enjoyable one. Its great characters, a flowing pace and a nice plot with a touch of mystery made of Supernaturally Kissed a keeper and a book to recommend.
Supernaturally Kissed was my first book by Mrs. Kennedy but I can guarantee you it won’t be my last, I’m looking forward to the next installment of this series and other books by Mrs. Kennedy. (less)

Hands Down! Stacy you are truly a creative and brilliant writer. Just WOW! I couldn’t put the book down as the story grew more interesting at each sentence. I was totally captivated with the story line and the characters. The descriptive surroundings, feelings and emotions flowing through all the characters draw you in immediately; I actually got all teary eyed towards the ending.

I loved the way you brought out the true meaning of having a special gift such as Tess has with her ability to see ghost – when you are given a talent don’t waste it, don’t hide it, make it useful for all those around you. The fates definitely played in Kipp’s favor as he finally realizes being a cop has benefits with the high of solving cases and putting bad guys away, but finding true love even at your end is worth more than anything in life.

The connection between all the characters is amazing and very humorous at times; I even laughed out loud a couple of times. I loved Tess’s character so much, she has so much spunk, fire, and desire that doesn’t take crap from anyone and is a very strong character. All the male cops were just to die for all sexy and hansom with nice bodies.

The erotic love scene between Tess and Kipp is pretty hot in the one scene but in another scene I felt kind of sad because I felt their desire for each other even though they couldn’t really touch each other physically with him being a ghost. I kept hoping he would magically turn solid and give it to her real good – LOL

The whole story line of finding the killer and helping the ghost pass on to the other world was memorizing and I loved how you explored what ghost experienced, what they could do physically, and how they thought mentally. All great touches to the story.

I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves a good detective catching the bad guy kind of story with paranormal twists along with a human who can actually see and talk to the ghost to aid in solving cold cases for the police department. This is definitely a series I plan to follow every book along the way.

EXCELLENT READ!
