Queen B’s Decree: There’s something about a grumpy MMC who has a marshmallow interior. I just can never resist. And throw fake dating and forced proximity tropes? Sold.
I loved revisiting Starlight Cove. This sounds like the kind of small town I’d love to move to. A bar named One Night Stan’s?? Pulling up the zillow records as we speak!
The Grump Next Door had the perfect blend of spice, emotional connection, conflict, side characters, banter, and most of all…the grumbly growl. I think I’m gonna need to reread this on audio to get the best experience, frankly.
Brighton, I don’t know how you do it, but another book I couldn’t put down and will love forever.
