When Grumpy Met Sunshine by Charlotte Stein
3.25
Book #19 read in 2024
The synopsis of this hooked me right away and so did the first couple of chapters. I actually guffawed at some of the early interactions between Mabel and Alfie. I loved the clear sexual tension between them, and it was subtle and sweet. Then BOOM... about halfway through this turned into a totally different book. It was page after page of sex so steamy that I was actually uncomfortable and found myself skipping ahead. It was like the sweet relationship developing between the characters was only about their physical needs and attraction. If I wasn't so invested in seeing how it ended, I would have DNF'd it. The end (last few chapters) brought it back around to the way it was in the beginning, but it was too late for me. If you are all about the steam -- this might be the perfect read for you!
