Story Blurb
Falling for the wrong person? Bury your feelings.
Painfully shy Callum Flannelly would rather dive into an open grave than take a stranger to dinner. But he can only inherit the family undertaking business under one condition: He must marry before his 35th birthday. Texan animator Lark Thompson moved to Galway, Ireland, to restart her life and career, not be reminded of losing her husband by moving in next to a funeral home.
But when she learns of Callum’s dilemma, Lark’s certain she can help him find The One, even if she’s sworn off love herself. Though as the dating project progresses and Lark spends more time with straight-laced, sarcastic Callum, he starts to crack the ice around her grieving heart. And the more joy that vivacious Lark brings to Callum’s grey existence, the less he can imagine letting her return to Texas.
If they think they can ignore their connection, they’re dead wrong.
My Thoughts/Opinion
If you've read any of my previous reviews, you know I'm a HUGE Abby Jimenez fan. So when she blurbed this book, I knew it was a one-click for me. And I am SO glad I trusted her. This book is really well-written and both main characters are quirky, and quirkily (?) perfect for each other. This book has all the feels, you guys. Callum reminded me so much of Jacob from Yours Truly, and Lark's backstory...sigh. I rooted for them both so hard. The premise may seem a little unconventional, but trust me, you won't regret picking this one up!
