MY GRUMPY SWEETHEART

Sweetheart Escapes Series

by Ray Celar

Release Date: September 15, 2023

Review

My Grumpy Sweetheart is a really fun story between a very grumpy not-a-serial-killer, and a very, very perky romantic.


Nothing says bad date like one that has one of the participants there by trickery and manipulation. Especially one who’s already grumpy to start with! (for the record, like Bailey, I love a grumpy man).


Trapped in an incessantly happy and apple-obsessed B’n’B both Bailey and the apples break through Dakota’s highly reinforced defenses. Until what’s left is a less grumpy teddy bear of a man.


It is sweet and flirty and super cute. It’s perfect if you’re looking for a lighter read with lots of grumpy goodness.

Synopsis

Bailey

Rewarding your own accomplishments is important – and if rewarding myself will also get me a mini vacation and a hot date while I’m doing something for charity? Sign me up. Well, I did. That’s why I’m on the way to a fantastic weekend with a sexy axe murderer. At least he looks like one. Minus the axe – for this trip at least. But he doesn’t need one anyway. If looks could kill, I’d already be dead without even making it to our destination.

I don’t understand why he’s so grumpy since he signed up for this, too, but that’s okay. Some people need a little longer to warm up to me. But in the end, they all do.


Dakota

I didn’t sign up for this and I don’t want to be here. The fact that my friends auctioned me off behind my back, and then guilt tripped me into actually going along with their crazy plan is still eating away at me. I know I’m taking it out on my date and I know that’s not okay, but Bailey is just so… annoyingly bright. No matter what I’m throwing at him to let my frustrations out, he gives it a positive spin. It’s driving me freaking crazy.

I have no idea how to not kill him if we have to spend the whole weekend together. In the most romantic suite the B'n'B had to offer. Sharing a bed.



As two people who couldn’t be more different from another are thrown together by a charity auction and a well-meaning B’n’B owner, tension rises and sparks fly, until they’re not sure if they want to rip their heads or their clothes off.

But they only need to get through the weekend before they can go their separate ways and leave this weird, confusing weekend behind them.

At least if that’s still what they want to do.


My Grumpy Sweetheart is a grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract, only-one-bed mm romance. It is a part of the Sweetheart Escapes multi author series. It can be read as a standalone, but why not grab them all?

About Ray Celar

Ray Celar lives with her husband, daughter and two cats in Southern Germany.

When she was six years old, she proudly declared she’d be an author one day, and that dream never changed. She was declared “most likely to ever publish a book” in her yearbook and only four years after her graduation, this statement and her lifelong dream came true — though she still isn’t sure whether she should send a copy of her books to the teacher who nominated her for that title.


If she isn’t chasing after her daughter through the apartment, she’s probably translating books, writing books or procrastinating doing any of those things by watching too many DIY-videos online — she might even be working on one of the DIY-projects she picked up.

REVIEW: Breakthrough by Ana Ashley (Dads of Stillwater #2)

BREAKTHROUGH Dads of Stillwater - Book Two by Ana Ashley Release Date: October 11, 2022 Review Glad to be back in Stillwater, where the number of gay/bi single dads is high (must be something in the water)! Ana always writes lovely and thoughtful stories of beautiful men with depth. Milo and Ellis are no different. Milo is young and sweet but also strong and resilient. He’s been dealt many blows in life but never gives up. Especially when’s got an infant to care for. Ellis is an older kindergarten teacher. Steady, caring, and always ready to help out. He’s been hurt though, so he’s shy about the idea of dating, especially a much younger man. I loved both of them. They were both kind-hearted and wore their hearts on their sleeves, even if they didn’t think they did. I also loved that despite their ages and the imbalance in their financial situations, they also felt like equals. They both had something to bring to the table. The story has enough twists, turns, and emotions to feel comple...

REVIEW: 7 Minutes in Kevin by DJ Jamison (Games We Play #3)

  7 MINUTES IN KEVIN Games We Play - Book Three by DJ Jamison Release Date: November 10, 2022 Review I’ve really enjoyed this series of young friends finding love at the hands of party games. This third book has been teased in previous stories. That of Kevin and his immense crush on his friend's dad. With a significant age gap, Kevin’s insecurity over his gender fluidity, and Garrett’s job that has him on the road 3 weeks out of 4 every month, these two have a few hurdles to navigate if they want to get their happy ending. Though Garrett accepts his bi-sexuality with relative ease, there is still the need to come out and face how others will feel about it. I didn’t connect as well with these two as I have the others, but they still make for an enjoyable story that I have no doubt folks will love.  Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis 7 minutes in...holy heck, what have I done?! What happens when I return early from a work trip to find my son throwing yet another party?...

  PLAYING DIRTY Miami Piranhas - Book 0.5 by Beth Bolden Release Date: January 12, 2023 Audio Release Date: April 26, 2023  Review Oh my, these two are the definition of cute. Not animosity or rivalry. Just nice guys who want to see someone else do well. In the process of them lifting each other up and supporting one another, they find not just a friendship but a strong love. If you’re looking for something low-angst with two really adorable guys being young men, living their dreams, and finding love, then you can’t go wrong with Playing Dirty. It was also a fantastic audiobook. Narrated by Darcy Stark, he made it highly enjoyable, capturing them both so well. It really made my work day pass a lot faster.

He absolutely does not want Tristan Nicholson. His complete and total opposite. His teammate. His compe...
