Florence Day is a ghost-writer with one big problem. She’s supposed to be penning swoon-worthy novels for a famous romance author but, after a bad break-up,
Florence no longer believes in love. And when her strict (but undeniably hot) new editor, Benji Andor, won’t give her an extension on her book deadline, Florence prepares to kiss her career goodbye.
Although when tragedy strikes and Florence has to head home, the last thing she expects to see is a ghost at her front door. Not just any ghost, however, but the stern form of her still very hot – yet now unquestionably dead – new editor.
As sparks start to fly between them, Florence tells herself she can’t be falling for a ghost – even an infuriatingly sexy one.
But can Benji help Florence to realise love isn’t dead, after all?
MY REVIEW
Today I’m giving this book 5 stars and a big shout out , it’s the best bookish story in a fiction novel with a difference that I have ever read!
Florence Day’s parents owned a funeral home, they loved their job, but the children Florence, Carver and Alice Day didn’t love the funeral home as much as their parents did, but they loved it enough.
Now her dad is dead she has come back Mairmont. When the front door goes ding dong Florence sees a ghost.
Florence is a ghostwriter of a mega bestselling, critically acclaimed romance novelist Ann Nichols.
What made this novel so different about a character writer is that Florence and her dad were the only ones in the family that can see ghosts.
Florence had that special gift in no matter where she was she could see ghost. When Florence was on the train, she could see a ghost among the passengers. One bookish story within a book not to be missed.
EXCLUSIVE LETTER FROM ASHLEY POSTON
Dear Reader,
I believe in ghosts. Well, sort of. I don’t know if they actually exist, because trying to find the proof of the supernatural is like tyring to catch the wind (or at least paranormal activity on an EMF meter).
No, I believe in ghosts the same way I believe in a good story.
A good ghost story, told across a crackling bonfire with your best friends, will make you wonder what’s hiding in the shadows. It’ll curl curiosity into your bones, convince you that stories, passed down from one person to another, take on a life of their own. The stories themselves become the ghosts. And that possibility, just for a moment, begins to ask you, “What if…
It’s a question that can terrify, that can wonder, and -in this case-romance.
I am so excited that HQ is bringing The Dead Romantics to the UK, and I hope that you all enjoy this romance about romance books and imposter syndrome and the loss of a loved one, and what happens when you fall for someone who is very, very off limits.
You know, because he’s dead.
The Dead Romantics dances with the idea that we are not all tragic ghost stories in the end -but love stories.
And some love stories really do have happy endings.
Happy reading!
Ashley Poston
