Why you will ❤️ GROUCH-ish …
❄️silver fox fireman
❄️boss’s daughter
❄️snowed-in
❄️grumpy/sunshine
❄️holiday romance
❄️small town swoon
❄️all the holiday spice

Let’s start here. The twelve days of Christmas are actually after the holiday.

And my dad, being the great guy he is, and the battalion chief of the fire department, signs up one of his rebellious firefighters for a retreat because of his bad behavior.

The guy is a total grouch.

But when he misses the bus for the adult redemption camp, Dad sticks the guy with me for twelve days.

Alone.

So, on the dozen days some mysterious true love—which I have yet to experience—should be bringing me gifts, like French hens and golden rings, I’m in charge of this firebird on our pear farm. Being the city man he is, he doesn’t have a clue how to can fruit, mend fences, or milk cows.

But he knows how to kiss . . .

Not that we should be doing such a thing. Only his silver beard is sexy, and his crooked smile kind of sweet. He has this alpha energy vibrating around his well-honed body but underneath the grumpy exterior is a man lonely for something more in his life, like me.

And instead of gifting each other random birds, leaping lords and piping pipers, the gift we give one another is time . . . and our bodies.

But what about our hearts?

Maybe true love will strike after all.

A lot can happen in twelve days.

Grouch-ish by L.B. Dunbar
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I think I’m becoming one big softie because these Christmas themed stories are starting to get to my cold heart.

I’ve become quite a fan of »older« couples. This is my third one story in the last month or so where our MCs are mature, have lived their lives and know what they want or better yet when they don’t want any more in their life.

Both Pear and Brock were dealt with a shitty hand in life. Both are trying to make sense of their lives and are certain that there is no room from love anymore. But when one tardiness sticks them together, they learn that not all is lost and if you let yourself feel you could get a second chance.

This story was filled with great banter, sweet and sizzling moments and all the love one could wish as a Christmas present.
