The Dead Romantics

I’m sorry but this book was just really boring. As the story progressed everything just became overly repetitive with nothing new developing or happening.

As for the romance… for this book being sold as a romcom it just wasn’t there. The story itself seemed to revolve around the family rather than any romance that could happen. The little snippets of romance that were there didn’t make any sense since they were just out of nowhere.

The story itself had a lot of potential with a couple of twists, but nothing happened until the very end, and the ending was very predictable. Overall, everything just felt so random, slow, and repetitive.

Synopsis: Florence Day is the ghostwriter for one of the most prolific romance authors in the industry, and she has a problem—after a terrible breakup, she no longer believes in love. It’s as good as dead.

When her new editor, a too-handsome mountain of a man, won’t give her an extension on her book deadline, Florence prepares to kiss her career goodbye. But then she gets a phone call she never wanted to receive, and she must return home for the first time in a decade to help her family bury her beloved father.

For ten years, she’s run from the town that never understood her, and even though she misses the sound of a warm Southern night and her eccentric, loving family and their funeral parlor, she can’t bring herself to stay. Even with her father gone, it feels like nothing in this town has changed. And she hates it.

Until she finds a ghost standing at the funeral parlor’s front door, just as broad and infuriatingly handsome as ever, and he’s just as confused about why he’s there as she is.

Romance is most certainly dead... but so is her new editor, and his unfinished business will have her second-guessing everything she’s ever known about love stories.
