“Was she a curvy goddess? Yes. Could I still bench-press her? Also yes.” – 4.5/5 stars!

Attention! This book contains: night shifts, gravediggers, hot showers, cabins, conspiracies, revenge, surprises, and pretty stars in the sky.

Roses are red, violets are blue, Emma’s not dead, and her gravedigger’s hot too. This Valentine’s Day, love claws its way out of the grave in #1 New York Times bestselling author Navessa Allen’s steamy and hilariously dark rom-com.
Louisiana gravedigger Noah Evans’s Valentine’s night shift takes an unexpected turn when his high school crush starts screaming from her freshly dug grave. Whoever tried to bury Emma six feet under is in for a nasty surprise—they should have checked for a pulse because she’s got unfinished business, starting with the hot gravedigger who just saved her life. As they unearth a deadly family conspiracy, Noah and Emma discover that old flames burn even hotter the second time around—especially when someone’s trying to kill them.
Navessa Allen’s Valentine’s Slay is part of The Improbable Meet-Cute: Second Chances, stories for star-crossed lovers and hopeless romantics. They can be read or listened to in one sitting. Let’s do it again.

I’m starting to really love Navessa Allen’s books! First, I read Lights Out last year, and I loved it, and now I found this short story from the same author, and I thought this would be perfect to read on Valentine’s Day… so I picked it up! 

I guess you can describe this as a dark romance because of what happens in the plot/theme of the book, but it’s actually a very light story. It has a crazy, unrealistic, and absurd plot, but I absolutely adored it, and I wish it was a full-length book instead! 

The romance was chef’s kiss, and the smut was well done. I’ve read a few reviews for this book, and I saw some people saying the cabin scene was a little absurd considering the circumstances… and even though I see what other readers mean, it didn’t really bother me that much. It’s all unrealistic anyway!

Loved the writing and the dual POVs, it was light and entertaining, perfect to binge on a random day. For the short amount of pages, we got a fun romance with smut, dark humour, drama, and action. Seriously, what more can a girl want? I will definitely read more from this author. I really like her style!
