Kissing The Grump

I SHOULD be taking this time to catch up on incoming ARCs instead of catching up on new TBRs...Should be. Here's Baylin Crow's "Kissing the Grump."

["Forrest Grump is the most confusing man I’ve met in my life.

No, that's not his real name, but the nickname is fitting. For reasons I may never know, he seems to dislike me on sight and purposely makes my job at the coffee shop more difficult than it needs to be. By some cruel twist of fate, he's also my new neighbor so running into him is inevitable.

He annoys me. He makes me nervous. He also makes me want to kiss him. Maybe it's because he's attractive and I've never been kissed. But maybe it's more."]

Okay, this book didn't have the right of being so damn cute! Forest was grumpy as hell (but secretly sweet and protective). Elliot was shy as hell (but also so flipping sassy and outgoing). They shouldn't have worked, for sooooooo many reasons, but they did!

This short story could have been much longer and it still would have worked out soooo well. Honestly, I think a little bit more and it would have been even better. ;)
