Summary: “Kirsty Greenwood’s writing is like receiving a warm hug from a dear friend.”—Carley Fortune, #1 New York Times bestselling author of One Golden Summer

A heartbroken romance novelist is forced to address her writer’s block when the villainous cowboy character from her books shows up in the real world, desperately in need of his own Happily Ever After. . . from the bestselling author of GMA book club pick The Love of My Afterlife.

Gertie Bickerstaff writes happily-ever-afters for a living. . . . Or she did, until her own love life fell apart. Now her ex is thriving, her deadline is looming, and she can’t write a single word.

The last thing Gertie needs is more drama—like waking up to find a confused and rugged cowboy on her sofa. And not just any cowboy, but River Oakley, the villain from her unfinished novel. Somehow very real . . . and very shirtless.

River wants to go home. Gertie wants her life back. So they strike a deal: he’ll use his cunning ways to help her win back her ex, she’ll finish the novel, and, surely, he’ll return to whatever world he rode in from.

But as River Oakley proves to be so much more than just the bad guy, Gertie has to choose: the ending she thought she wanted . . . or the plot twist she never saw coming.

Reviews:

Praise for Romantic Hero

“Flirty and enchanting.”
—People

“Kirsty has done it again, a total rom-com triumph! I laughed, I cried, I swooned! Five magical stars.”
—Josie Silver

“Greenwood’s happy ending doesn’t compromise all the growth built up throughout the book, which is a rare feat. In this heart-warming romance, Greenwood showsreaders that we can all be the (romantic) hero of our own stories.”
—Booklist

“Greenwood’s newest follows in the footsteps of her previous novel, The Love of My After Life, combining tender warmth, hilarious hijinks, and a touch of the unknown to create a book made for staying up late to finish. While it’s perfect for any romantic comedy fan, this will also appeal to readers of cowboy romances.”
—Library Journal

“A touch of interdimensional magic sets the stage for this fun and heartfelt rom-rom from Greenwood…Witty, winkingly meta, and wonderfully told, this is sure to entertain.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Romantic Hero is a joyful, playful, big-hearted swoon of a novel. Laugh-out-loud funny and knee-tremblingly sexy, it made me feel all my feelings, and I never wanted it to end. A total delight.”
—Laura Wood, author of Under Your Spell

“I adored it. Kirsty is one of the smartest, funniest and most compelling writers in the world, and I was utterly swept away by Romantic Hero. It’s a truly beautiful, special book, and I will be telling everyone I know to buy it.”
—Lucy Vine, author of Seven Exes

“Romantic Hero is a swoony, funny, outrageously delightful jolt to the nervous system. It’s the kind of romcom we reminisce about the moment we finish it, immediately wanting someone else to discuss the characters who have become our beloved friends through the pages of a perfect book.”
—Ali Rosen, USA Today bestselling author of The Slow Burn

“Romantic Hero is a pitch perfect novel, flawlessly executed by the inimitable Greenwood who continues to dazzle with the hookiest of plots and the most adorable characters. Sexy, funny, poignant and packed full of chemistry, as well as a will-they-won’t-they that genuinely has you on the edge of your seat until the last moment. I was fully invested from the first couple of chapters and can honestly say that immersing myself in the world of River and Gertie was the perfect way to spend my weekend. Best book I’ve read this year and the most fun you can have with your rhinestone studded Stetson on. Climb in the saddle, be ready for the ride, and all hail the new queen of cowboy rom-com. An absolute triumph.”
—Nancy Peach, author of The Night Shift

Praise for The Love of My Afterlife

“This madcap romantic comedy may just be the romance novel of the summer, with its unique, funny, and heartfelt tale.”
—Entertainment Weekly

“Kirsty Greenwood’s The Love of My Afterlife is an utterly charming romcom that is as hilarious as it is poignant. Reading this book is like receiving a big hug from a dear friend.”
—Carley Fortune, New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After

“Kirsty Greenwood’s The Love of my Afterlife takes a slice out of The Good Place to create a cheeky rom-com full of light and laughter.”
—Elle

“[O]ne-of-a-kind premise that you’ll want to dive right into…Simply put, it’s a *heaven-sent* book.”
—New York Post

“Greenwood weaves themes of loneliness, grief and self-discovery into a romance filled with laugh-out-loud moments.”
—USA Today

“[H]ilarious…”
—People

“Confident and hilarious, I lost a whole day to it and I don’t regret a second. Gave me The Good Place crossed with The Dead Romantics and The Ex Hex vibes, quirky and romantic and oh so gorgeously memorable – I only wish I’d written it first!”
—Josie Silver, New York Times bestselling author

“If I died in the middle of reading The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood, I hope I’d have the wherewithal to bring it to the afterlife waiting room with me! I had the best time reading this book and NEEDED to know how everything was going to turn out for Delphie. I spent part of the book literally spit-laughing at the witty banter, surprising references, and hilarious hijinx Delphie got herself into; part of the book trying to figure out which side character I’d want to play in the adaptation; and part of the book charmed into a puddle on the floor. I’m going to be telling every person in my life to read this book.”
—Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of Love in the Time of Serial Killers

“It’s funny, warm, and does all the things that a good rom-com does.”
—Yulin Kuang

“I think the challenge in writing rom coms can be to have the laughs interspersed in a story that has real heart – Kirsty does this with aplomb.”
—Sophie Cousens, New York Times bestselling author

“A brilliant tongue-in-cheek romp that turns Meant-To-Be on its head. Complicated, dreamy, and hilarious, Kirsty Greenwood can make a romantic out of death itself. The Love of My Afterlife is Where’s Waldo for soulmates, and it’s perfect.”
—Ashley Poston, New York Times bestselling author of The Dead Romantics

“The Love of My Afterlife is a gorgeously addictive romp of a romantic comedy, with added magic. I adored it.”
—Clare Pooley, New York Times bestselling author of The Authenticity Project

“It’s hard for a romantic comedy to stand out from the crowd these days. But in The Love of My Afterlife, Kirsty Greenwood has delivered one of the sweetest—but not cloying!—love stories I’ve read in quite some time.”
—Reader’s Digest

“[T]he emotions are sweeping, the humor feels straight out of a network sitcom…. Fans of The Good Place should snap this up.”
—Publishers Weekly

“…[I]s ‘quirky’ incarnate—with so much heart and comedy that readers will find it difficult not to laugh while reading.”
—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

“Greenwood offers a charming, unique twist on a plethora of the best romance tropes. Sure to be a favorite of readers who love Sophie Cousens and Katy Birchall.”
—Library Journal

“I smiled throughout Kirsty Greenwood’s delightful The Love of My Afterlife, cheering along at Delphie’s mad-cap romp through London in search of a magic kiss that would, literally, give her another chance at life. An enchanting story of found family, laugh-out-loud chaos, the magic of discovering purpose, and a truly dreamy love story. I adored every page!”
—Uzma Jalaluddin, author of internationally bestselling Three Holidays and a Wedding

“Nobody does smart, sexy, relatable romantic comedy like Kirsty Greenwood. The Love of My Afterlife made me cackle like a maniac, but it’s packed with gut-punching raw emotion too, and so much beautiful truth. Reading it is like hanging out with your funniest and cleverest best friend – I never wanted it to end.”
—Isabelle Broom
