What do an undertaker and an art animation director have in common? Nothing! Callum Flannelly is an undertaker. It’s his families business, but in order for him to keep his inheritance, he has to be married by a certain time. However Callum is shy, awkward, and dates don’t go so well for him. Enter Lark Thompson. Girl from Texas in Ireland for work. She rents accommodations next door to Callum. She befriends him and tries to help him find dates so he can wife up and get his inheritance. Lark is bright and colorful, full of chatter. The opposite of Callum. The more time they spend together, the more the attraction grows, but her time is coming to an end in Ireland.
I promise with me, you’re always going to get honest reviews. I did not like the first half of this book. I couldn’t connect with any of the characters, I didn’t really like them. I also didn’t feel anything between the characters. Honestly, I was over it. But I don’t DNF books, and this book is the perfect example of why.
After the halfway point, this book really started to pick up. The characters, since we’ve gotten to know them, are more likeable. I felt the chemistry between Callum and Lark, and honestly, I kept reading because I loved reading about the both of them. Also, lots of spice in the second half of the book, but it is done really well.
I adored the Irish language in the book and appreciated that the author put in translations and phonetic spellings for those words. It really helped enjoy those parts of the book that much more.
This book is out now, so check it out here.
