This is OK. It is more or less a fixed expression meaning that she is of high quality. The other two are no good. The first noun has to be figurative. A genius of a man is simply a genius, and nobody would put it the other way. A mountain of a man is large. A ***** of a seller is pretty much meaningless, employing slang as it
