Florence Day might lose her job. As the ghostwriter for the most popular romance author, Florence hasn't been able to write anything since her breakup a year ago. Romance is dead, so why even pretend? But when she receives an urgent phone call to return home, a town she's shunned for ten years, she runs into Benji Andor, her attractive editor who refused to give her an extension, who should still be in New York, and who now appears in front of her as a ghost. Florence must help her grieving family through the most challenging time and figure out why her dead editor's spirit is stuck with her.

More than romance, DEAD ROMANTICS is a heartfelt examination of loss, grief, and love. I adore Poston's writing on death; while it is painful to lose someone close to us, there is also this celebration of their life, achievements, and legacy. Of course, as a romance book, it's always happily ever after, but I enjoy watching Florence transform from declaring romance dead to confronting her ghosts to trusting love again. There is also a lot of tension because Florence and Ben literally can't touch each other
