Morbidly Yours, a story about an American widow and an Irish mortician, made me cry and left me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.
Callum and Lark are complete opposites on paper, she's a bubbly American who just moved to Ireland for her new job and he's an extremely shy mortician who lives and works next door. Even though their connection is instantaneous they decide their relationship can only ever be platonic. Lark is still grief-stricken and guilt-ridden over the loss of her husband and is not looking for romance. Callum on the other hand is in desperate need of a wife if he wants to keep his family business and he only has nine months to find one.
Callum and Lark soon develop a wonderful friendship in which they support and take care of each other in the sweetest manner. Lark’s friendship helps Callum step out of his comfort zone, which he hope will also help him find a bride. However, it's not long before their growing attraction leads to very real feelings and throws a wrench in their friends only policy.
Morbidly Yours was a beautiful, and surprisingly emotional, love story and I loved every word of it. I cannot wait to see what is next for Ivy Fairbanks after such a fantastic debut.
