A very enjoyable, very quick read.

Sexy, heartfelt, and funny. A happenstance meeting between a sunshine girl from Texas and a gloomy, demisexual undertaker turns into a friends-with-benefits romance, as the clock races toward the deadline of his 35th birthday, and his goal to find a wife.

Um, honestly? I loved that this book didn’t end how I expected it to. I loved that Lark decided to get grief counseling, and choose happiness. I kind of wish that I hadn’t read the epilogue, because it was more fun to IMAGINE where a slower, more loving romance might take this pair, but it wasn’t a deal breaker and I imagine some readers needed the confirmation that these two did in fact finally wed one another.

I just liked the idea that her happy ending wasn’t tied to a marriage ultimatum.

But! At the end of the day, Callum deserves to be happy, too, and I’m glad they both found each other and fell in love.

I was pleased by the demisexual and aromantic representation! This book took me by surprise. A pleasure to read, and surprisingly earnest. I will definitely check out more from this author.

I picked this book up on a bit of a whim and it was so good, I finished it in one sitting. There was nothing about this I didn't love. Both main characters are so three-dimensional and endearing, and their individual arcs are just perfect. The romance between them was believable and it developed very naturally, in a way that had me on the edge of my seat waiting for the next big moment. I did not want this book to end, and I cannot wait to read more from this author!

ugh, i wanted this to hit for me but it fell short, which makes me sad because i LOVE this cover, the tropes, and the title soooo much. there were moments i was really invested, but they didn't come until like 60-70% in. i started to get really irritated with the tiptoeing around what happened to lark's husband, and then the reveal??? just made me want to throw my kindle. not my favorite, but it wasn't horrible either.
