I recommend "Dead Boyfriend" because the writing is exceptional, the plot is fascinating, and the characters are awesome. 

In fact, I consider the main characters almost too awesome, so hopefully most of you can still enjoy characters who aren’t "too real for comfort," so to speak.  I think the main characters have very few dysfunctional traits.  I say this because Reagan, Ira, Milly, and even the perfect Mom and the perfect Ex-girlfriend (as in the perfect bad "guy") are all exceptional, intelligent people who add to the story with their every characteristic.  Of course, that’s part of what I love about them.  I mean, what is Reagan’s worst flaw?  Cockiness informed by reality?  Or maybe falling in love with a good vampire?  I don’t know.  But the circumstances these people find themselves in keeps me from obsessing over this too much, or even noticing it most of the time.

Why do I love the plot?  Because it really is a FUN story that hooks you in and keeps up a steady, intense pace by expertly using various conflicting characters’ goals and the eroticism of new love.  In that sense the realism is superb.  This story wasn’t afraid to describe something that made me go "Eww," and laugh appreciatively.  I must admit, only the most extreme and gory stuff makes me go eww, and none of it ever made me laugh before.

If that’s not enough to get you to take a look at it, then this story probably isn’t for you.  But I think a lot of people who appreciate or even just tolerate story based sex scenes will not be disappointed by trying out this story.
