Thank you both Ivy Fairbanks and Penguin Group for a copy of Morbidly Yours. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

OH MY GOSH. This book is awkwardly adorable from front to back. I give it a 4 star rating cause I just couldn't put this down. The characters, the setting, the vibes, storyline was all chefs kiss. The book is a cozy, fun read that makes you laugh one moment and screaming at the slow burn the next moment.

Callum is an awkward, shy, soft spoken MMC that also is a fantastic dirty talker. He's an undertaker that doesn't socialize with people very well and is tasked with the impossible....marry before he is 35. With only 5 months left he has to book it and get the job done. Lark is an American who wants to start over after the death of her husband. What better place to do that than none other than Ireland. The irony, she gets a house right across the street from a funeral home. None other than Callums funeral home.

The slow burn in this book was so worth it, cause once the burn finally ignites the fire these two produce is out of this world. Also I enjoyed how they truly became friends first, it helped make the storyline more believable especially with Larks loss. To watch these two grow as individuals and get where they were was bitter sweet. I enjoyed how Ivy took the story of you can love more than one person in your life and how she allowed Lark to realize that as well. The book does bring up some heavy topics and Ivy navigates them beautifully with her writing. Overall this was an amazing fun story that made you feel so many emotions in one ride. I highly recommend!

Heartbreaking while also heart-mending. I’ll be recommending this one to my patrons for a while. Highly recommended.

A charming and poignant romance about finding love in unexpected places. I loved the chemistry between Callum and Lark and it was a slow burn from friends to lovers. The story has both moments of humor and sorrow which makes it heartwarming
Many thanks to PENGUIN GROUP Putnam and to Netgalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion

From the setting to the characters to the tropes, I enjoyed Morbidly Yours. It was a fun and quick read, would definitely recommend.

This was unexpectedly charming. A cute premise, good dialogue, a grumpy love interest, and decent emotional weight. Will recommend and be looking forward to future releases from this author

i loved this book. i love irish men, men with accents! it was such a fun read, a good romance book. they were so sweet and adorable. THE SLOW BURN WAS SLOOW I WAS KILLING FOR THEM TO KISS.

This was a fun and cute story. I really enjoyed the representation in this book. It was a beautiful grief story.

I found myself rather charmed by this Ivy Fairbanks book.

Lets start with the pros: Ireland. New start. A real lover boy. Grief. Excellent chemistry. So much charm

Cons: Repetition. Lark getting in her own way. A quick resolution.

I think this is a very cozy romance that is quick paced and yet sometimes, too slow. I feel as if this book had another pass through, it would have been near perfect, but the writing felt off at certain parts.

I still enjoyed myself and I give the book 3.75 stars!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review! As always, all opinions are my own.

Wonderful story, great character development, great writing! Highly recommend this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it

An adorable Irish romance! This book was lovely and lighthearted, while also dealing with serious topics like grief. I loved Callum, and how hard he fell for Lark was swoon worthy. The two of them were adorable together, and I'll always appreciate a man will to throw down for his girl.

They had me at Galway, Ireland as the setting. The vibe of the setting really set the mood for the story. I really enjoyed the grumpy sunshine trope and while I’m not usually the biggest fan of friends to lovers it really worked for Lark and Callum. The book explores hard topics like grief but wraps them in a sweet story of new friendships, reinvention and healing.

Very sweet love story with some Irish ties. It was about 75 pages too long, but I liked it. I’ll likely read the next in the series too.

Callum is an undertaker for his family's funeral home. He has just a few months to marry in order to keep said family business per his grandfather's will. When one day he gets an interesting new neighbor.

Lark is an animator from Texas who accepts a job in Ireland after the loss of her husband. After that loss, Lark swore off love and little did she know her move would open more doors than she planned.


This was such a stinking cute read. BUT just be prepared it is a slow burn.

I am not a particular fan of slow burns. I like mid burns. There was a lot of edging (I can't think of a better way to describe how it felt to me) to the reader with the relationship of the characters. The back and forth and almost kissing or taking the next step made it feel like a miscommunication trope. I say that because they both want each other, but they go back and forth in their minds on wanting each other. Like I said, push and pull.

OKAY. I love Callum and Lark with my whole entire heart and soul. I really enjoyed the entire premise of this book. Accidentally moving next to a MORGUE?! After running away from home due to DEATH. I'll eat that right up.

This book was an unexpected delight, blending mystery with a heartfelt romance set in the charming streets of Ireland. The setting is beautifully described, making you feel right at home in the small-town atmosphere. The characters are well-developed, with a perfect mix of wit, depth, and emotion that pulls you into their world.

The mystery at the heart of the story kept me guessing, and the pacing was just right—slow enough to build tension, but fast enough to keep things moving. The romance between the leads feels natural and adds a warm touch to the darker elements of the plot.

Overall, it’s an engaging read with a perfect balance of mystery, romance, and small-town charm—highly recommended for fans of cozy mysteries with a bit of heart.

3.5 stars. This was such a sweet romance. I think the pacing made it slow down in parts and caused it to lull, but I loved the arc the FMC had.

Morbidly Yours is an absolute mood! This book is like a healing love letter to those who are grieving after the lost of a loved one. The chemistry between the Callum and Lark is everything—it's sizzling, mysterious, and absolutely irresistible. It was also incredibly funny and quirky. They were two people who just got each other (unless it was about their feelings of course.) Morbidly Yours is your new obsession, promise! I can't wait for the next one!

This was a cute romance. I loved how prominent the opposites attract was in this one. She is from Texas and he is from Ireland! She is outgoing and he is very much an introvert. They are both artistic…her being an animator and he an undertaker.

I loved that this book also took place in Ireland. I like a change of scenery in a book.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loved contemporary romances.

3 1/2 stars! I am mad at myself for not reading this sooner! It was so cute and such an easy read! I loved the friends to lovers troupe with Lark and Callum. Both characters had baggage and were able to help each other figure things out. Grief was a major part of the story, but handled very well and in a healthy way. I would recommend this to others and I cant wait to read more from Ivy Fairbanks!

In general I really did like this book. I liked the characters, the slow burn was decently done, I thought the demisexual rep was ok. I enjoyed the morbid humor.

It was a bit of a slog to get through. The pacing was off, for me. I hated the “must get married” trope in this as it felt very unnecessary as well as the coworker drama. It had the potential of being a really great love story developing through working through grief and trauma, and learning to live and love again. Trust me, that’s enough drama for any story.
