Grumpy the Bear by Marika Ray

medium-paced

4.0

I love me a good grumpy/sunshine romance. When I came across this book and it had “Grumpy” in the title I thought it would be perfect. How is this man a grump? If anything the FMC is the grump. Okay, let me be honest she’s a real b***h in the beginning of the book so of course he’s going to be a little grouchy around her. I wouldn’t call him a grump though. As I got more into the book I started to really love their dynamic. I’m always a sucker for a single dad, even though he’s only been one for 6 months, I thought he took to the role very well. I also love a good neighbor romance and this has that as well. Paisley’s dad is very critical of the career she has chosen. I absolutely love the way Gannon supports her in all things especially her career and the way she chooses to live her life. The way Gannon stood up for her at one point in the book really sealed the deal that he is perfection. Once they made it official he made it clear that it was forever 🥹 This book was funny, had me feeling emotional in the epilogue and the steam was pretty good. If you’re in the mood for a spicy romcom pick this one up!
