What to expect
Roses are red, violets are blue, romance is dead - but is their love true?
Scream queen Quinn has had it with scary movies. After years as Hollywood's horror It Girl, she's sick of the tabloids and the off-screen drama. So she's decided: one last film, before quitting for good.
All that stands in her way is leading man Teddy James. Reality TV star and renowned playboy Teddy has looks to kill for, but absolutely no talent. AKA, Quinn's worst nightmare.
That's until they stumble - literally - across a dead body on set. Everyone believes it's a tragic accident, but Quinn's not convinced. So she offers Teddy a deal: acting lessons in exchange for his help investigating. And as Teddy and Quinn dig deeper, she begins to wonder what's most at risk here - their lives, or her heart?

Critics Review

Wow, get you a book that does both -- Katie Bohn's Romance Is Dead delivers a page-turning mystery and a sweet, sexy romance all in one. I loved Quinn, the disillusioned scream queen, and Teddy, the seemingly shallow reality star who just might have more to offer than rock hard abs. Whether running lines for a movie or investigating real-life murders, filming sex scenes or giving in to their off-screen chemistry, they made the perfect team
Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of Love in the Time of Serial Killers

Bohn's debut is an escapist triple-threat - -an enemies-to-lovers romance wrapped up in a murder mystery, all unfolding on the set of a horror movie. Sit back, relax, and let yourself be entertained by this incredibly fun combination of spice and chills!
