Hart is a marshal, tasked with patrolling the strange and magical wilds of Tanria. It’s an unforgiving job, and Hart’s got nothing but time to ponder his loneliness.
Mercy never has a moment to herself. She’s been single-handedly keeping Birdsall & Son Undertakers afloat in defiance of sullen jerks like Hart, who seems to have a gift for showing up right when her patience is thinnest.
After yet another exasperating run-in with Mercy, Hart finds himself penning a letter addressed simply to “A Friend”. Much to his surprise, an anonymous letter comes back in return, and a tentative friendship is born.
If only Hart knew he’s been baring his soul to the person who infuriates him most – Mercy. As the dangers from Tanria grow closer, so do the unlikely correspondents. But can their blossoming romance survive the fated discovery that their pen pals are their worst nightmares – each other?

My Thoughts:
I didn't expect a book about a zombie hunter and an undertaker to be completely adorable but The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy is incredibly sweet, has an interesting fantasy world, and is a wonderful romance.
I really liked that Hart and Mercy both needed someone to confide in and their letters found each other. A grumpy man who is just covering up that he is a softy is my personal kryptonite and Hart pulls off the role well. I loved that Mercy gave Hart a home and he gave her someone who always put her first.
I really like fantasy but I like it to be in a romance book structure. This book was a perfect example of that. There was a non-romance plot, but the romance got equal focus if not more focus. I think this is a good romantasy book for romance readers who like fantasy but want to keep the romance plot structure.
🌶️🌶️- This book includes a couple of detailed steamy scenes but there isn't a ton of sexual tension outside of those scenes.
