He’s grumpy. He’s charming. He wants me to stay with him in the woods.

And the craziest part?

I think I just might do it.

Colt Walker is a charming grump.

Okay fine. He’s a hot, charming grump.

I’ll give him that.

Even though me being stuck out here alone is my own fault.

He doesn’t make me feel bad about it.

Or ask me my why I’m trying to avoid my stepsister’s wedding.

He just scoops me into his arms and carries me off into the woods.

Back to his cabin. Where he lives.

I’m not normally like this.

I swear.

But there’s something kind of nice about being cared for.

Being protected.

And now that he wants me to stay the night

I’m not sure if I’ll ever want to leave…

This novella type audiobook is the first book of the series I have listen/read as well as the first story written by this author I have come across. So I truly didn’t know what to expect.
The plot takes the listeners to a resort owned by a group of brothers, all “mountain type men”. A little rough around the edges but Intelligent and hunky.
Colt Walker is one of these men. He’s quiet and some might call grumpy. But he becomes a knight in shining armor when he rescues Sophie after a fall in the hiking trails.
A hiking trip Sophie would have avoided except she’s there for her step-sister’s wedding and this one of the activities. Their relationship is not great, but for her father, she’s making the effort, even if her step-sister is mean and is constantly putting Sophie down.
Needless to say, the rescue leads to an instalove fest.
I am not a fan of either novellas or instalove, but that said, this was a cute story perfect for an afternoon of leisure.
I was entrusted a copy of this audiobook. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Colt was not any grump other than being tired of the tourists even though he’s co-owner of the resort and does fitness training by appointment.
I found the story to be more sweet than sexy, but first you have to get past Sophia being bullied by her stepsister Jessica and Sophia’s negative body image. Banks was more effective in bringing across those negative feelings than giving the Instalove warm fuzzies. Other than Colt sampling her honey, I don’t recall anything explicit, so that’s also not here.
The narration was fine for the story.

where’s the grump?

He’s charming from boo, whereas she’s curvy girl insecure until the lukewarm nooky at the end.
Not horrible, but nothing to write home about.
The narrators had different pacing, with him fast to her slow.

Zero grumpy, all curvy girl insecurity
