What to expect
All's fair in love and . . . murder?
Mara, Hollywood make-up artist, has always dreamt of finding the kind of love promised by her favourite romantic comedies. But after years of false starts and crushing disappointment, she's given up on her own happily-ever-after to focus on her career.
So when an old director friend enlists her to makeover the celebrities invited to his murder mystery weekend, Mara gladly agrees. Beautiful tropical island, an easy job: win-win.
To Mara's horror, also invited is her ex: Austin. Gorgeous, tattooed, trouble-but-worth-it Austin. After the actor left her heartbroken, she swore to never let him get close again. But when one of the group is found dead, their weekend of fun and games turns deadly serious. Mara is forced to work with Austin if they're going to make it out alive - even if her heart doesn't survive.
Amidst a cloud of suspicion and tropical thunderstorms, can love strike twice?

Critics Review

A tropical weekend away, a dizzying second chance with the hunky actor of your dreams... and murder? If Katie Bohn's debut, ROMANCE IS DEAD, was the Hollywood romance my horror-movie-loving heart needed, then IF LOVE COULD KILL is the swoony romantic-thriller follow-up I wanted. Hilarious, hot and filled with tropey goodness, Hallmark meets THE GLASS ONION in this perfect beach read for everyone who's ever longed for a second chance.

If Love Could Kill is like a vintage Kate Hudson romcom having an affair with an Agatha Christie novel. The sexual tension is so thick that sometimes it's easy to forget that there are numerous dead bodies and a murderer somewhere in the island villa. An even balance of fun, thrills, and sex.
