Morbidly Yours by Ivy Fairbanks

Set against the misty charm of Galway, Morbidly Yours tells the story of a bubbly Texan who strikes up an unlikely friendship—and eventual romance—with a shy Irish mortician. Both characters carry personal struggles that make their journey toward each other tender, awkward, and ultimately life-affirming.

Sunshine and Spice by Aurora Palit

Naomi and Dev’s story is the quintessential grumpy-sunshine romance, filled with fake dating antics that spiral into very real emotions. What begins as a way to appease cultural and familial pressures soon turns into a genuine exploration of trust, vulnerability, and joy. I picked this book because it captures the best of the trope—fun banter, heartfelt moments, and sizzling chemistry. For readers who enjoy Jasmine Guillory’s romances or The Love Hypothesis, this novel is a must-read. It made me laugh, swoon, and ultimately root for love that’s both tender and passionate.
