  COMFORTING THE GRUMP Forestville Silver Foxes - Book Five by Nora Pheonix Release Date: January 17, 2025 Review There is always something about someone finding love later in life, which is why I love this series.  And it’s extra special when that someone has spent a lifetime believing they are not worthy, discovering they absolutely are.  Marning and Ennio may seem like an unexpected pairing; the sunshiney romantic and the grumpy playboy but what they share is loyalty and balance.  Marnin’s cancer scare gives him a fresh perspective which helps to open him to Ennio’s presence and the prospect of love. What they both discover is a person who will be there for them through anything (and some really good sex!). It’s a thoughtful and warm story that has a lot of depth, and it was wonderful to finally get their story.
