Handy (Four Bears Construction #8)

AHHH! A brand-new Four Bears Construction book! K.M. Neuhold is fabulous for revisiting this town! Here's "Handy."

["My new neighbor may be grumpy but he's also hot, and very good with his hands…

I definitely overestimated my own handyman skills when I bought this fixer-upper. I have to say, the view from my new place is worth it though. Especially around seven o'clock every morning when my big, furry bear of a neighbor drinks his coffee shirtless on his back porch.

He's dedicated to the bear thing too. Growly, grumpy, and as it turns out, he really likes belly rubs.

Am I a sucker for a touch starved grump? Yes. Am I sorry about it? Absolutely not.

Getting Griff into my house and into my bed is the easy part. Convincing him I'm actually interested in him is so much harder.

I didn't mean to turn myself into his secret admirer, but if sending him anonymous presents and notes is the only way to wear down his gruff exterior, then that's what I'm going to do.

Sooner or later he’ll realize he’s more than just my grumpy handyman, right?"]

I looooooved how grumpy Griff was, and I loved even more how Ledge called him "grumpy bear" and "baby bear" and "my big bear." *Swoon* They were adorable as hell and utterly perfect for each other. I mean, who else could 'tame' a big grumpy bear of a man than a sunshiny park ranger?? 

Quote of the Day (Ledge): "I wore my practically see-through tank top, blatantly flirted, and hit him with tons of excellent bird facts. If Griff isn't seduced yet then I really don't know when else to do. Maybe a few more bird facts just to be safe?"

I honestly NEED to know something. Out of ALL of the posts I've seen on FB so far about this book, how come NO ONE has mentioned the butter!?!?!? It's fucking iconic! Thank you for bringing that gem back to us, KM. Griff? Not so much: "I've never had an existential crisis before, but I'm pretty sure I'm having one right now. I've made choices Stone has made, and something about that feels very wrong on a cellular level."

Speaking of iconic, I'm obsessed with the sheer about of call-backs we got in this little book. So many couples, pets, sexcapades, silly stories. So much love and friendship. Seriously! Soooooooo many series were covered as little teasers and highlights in here! It was like K.M. was hosting a reunion special! :D
