💃 Romance Recommendations
 | Morgue to LoveThis is one of the most original romances I’ve read. Dr. Soula Smythe is a medical examiner in Nashville who just had a one-night stand with Detective Waylon and now wants nothing to do with him. If you like workplace romances, this is for you. The entire Last Responders series is worth checking out. |
 | The Undertaking of Hart and MercyMercy is an undertaker doing everything she can to keep her business going, even as she deals with the insufferable marshal Hart. They start writing anonymous letters to each other and a friendship is born. Even if you aren’t a fantasy reader, you will find yourself rooting for them. |
 | Casket CaseNora Clanton has just returned to her small town to run her family’s casket business when she meets logistics coordinator Garrett Bishop, who just so happens to be at the scene of all the deaths happening in town. |
 | Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her MatchWho hasn’t gotten frustrated by dating and wanted to invent their own perfect man? When Angelika Frankenstein resurrects her dream man, she thinks she’ll get an instant love match—but she ends up helping him discover his identity and fights with a second suitor. |
 | Morbidly YoursShy Irish mortician Callum Flannelly has to be married by 35 to inherit his family’s undertaking business. Widow Lark Thompson’s not ready for romance, but she’s sure she can help her next door neighbor find someone to love. |
