About this listen
Let’s start here. The twelve days of Christmas are actually after the holiday. And my dad, being the great guy he is, and the battalion chief of the fire department, signs up one of his rebellious firefighters for a retreat because of his bad behavior. The guy is a total grouch. But when he misses the bus for the adult redemption camp, Dad sticks the guy with me for twelve days. Alone.
So, on the dozen days some mysterious true love—which I have yet to experience—should be bringing me gifts, like French hens and golden rings, I’m in charge of this firebird on our pear farm. Being the city man he is, he doesn’t have a clue how to can fruit, mend fences, or milk cows.
But he knows how to kiss . . . Not that we should be doing such a thing. Only his silver beard is sexy, and his crooked smile kind of sweet. He has this alpha energy vibrating around his well-honed body but underneath the grumpy exterior is a man lonely for something more in his life, like me. And instead of gifting each other random birds, leaping lords and piping pipers, the gift we give one another is time . . . and our bodies. But what about our hearts? Maybe true love will strike after all. A lot can happen in twelve days.
In a new tradition from L.B. Dunbar comes another holiday hottie certain to heat up your holidays.

With the name Holliday, you’d think I’d be all about the Christmas season. Most years, I am, but this one not so much. Between my ex being a real Scrooge-in-the-backside, re-entering the workforce, wrangling my two children, and evading my eight-year-old’s questions about Santa’s existence, I’m struggling to believe in the magic myself.

Hallie knows how to lose your best friend in one easy step. Offer him your virginity, then watch him reject you. But that was four years ago, and now she knows better. Working at Hunt’s Bull Riding School, there’s no shortage of hot young cowboys to keep her entertained. There’s no need to think about Nate Mathews, especially since he’s off on the pro bull riding tour. Out of sight, out of mind. Until Nate walks back into her life, four years older, four years hotter, and with four years of regrets behind the blue eyes she once fell in love with.

In truth, it probably didn’t help that I showed up dressed like an elf but that’s a story for another time. Our start was rocky at best which is why it’s so frustrating that I can’t stop thinking about his sexy British accent. Or the way his chest and arms fill out his suit. Or his perfect hair with that single streak of grey at the front.

As your paralegal (and ex), I have to be honest: You’re a horrible lawyer. Honestly, the worst I’ve ever seen. You never communicate, you pile on overtime, and you’re constantly in a bad mood. Now, about those panties on your desk. No, that wasn’t a desperate cry for your attention. It was the result of a lost bet with my roommate. But if you were even half the lawyer you claim to be, you’d have figured that out without all the ego-tripping.

Tall, tatted, and edgy, he looked more like a biker than a man who makes baked goods. I hardly knew him other than taking a tumble in a rainstorm in front of his shop... and then tossing myself at him after he rescued me. We shared a moment, but it’s not what you’d think. Months later, he delivered my baby among his cookies and cakes. Talk about a second chance encounter.

I used to fantasize about meeting a masked madman who would love me endlessly and obsessively. He would look after me in a world where no one else did. He would manipulate all the strings that held up my life until I had exactly the one I wanted. And then one night, I met him. Only he wasn't the hero I always imagined he would be. When we left the forest together that night, I thought I'd escaped the villains relatively unscathed, but my true villain was the man whose arms I felt safest in.

Then I find out we’re competing for the same job. Next comes the realization that we have to spend a week together on a ski vacation because of some six-degree-of-separation nonsense. The real kicker is when I find out the two of us have to share a villa. A very small, very cozy villa.

I never planned to give my V-card to a gorgeous stranger I met at a bar. But for once I didn't let myself overthink things. In the few hours we spent together, he managed to push me outside my comfort zone. And I loved every second. I never expected to see him again. Let alone sitting at the head of the boardroom table during my architectural firm's pitch to design his new hotel chain.

I made a deal with my brother a long time ago to never date his teammates. Technically, Rowan Landry, the hot as hell center for the Chicago Falcons, is no longer my brother’s teammate. Or his best friend. Their college days are long behind them, and they barely talk now. Also, I’m not dating him—we’re just sleeping together. There’s a difference.

That's right, after a lousy interview that could have changed everything for me, I headed over to the local small town bar to sulk when the one man I shouldn't want walked in.

If I had known how irrevocably my life was about to change, I would have walked the other way after talking to my coach. I should have taken any other route out of the Toronto Terror head office. But I didn’t and now–everything is different. At first I didn’t recognize the woman doing a victory dance down the hall when she thought no one was watching. Until she turned around. And that beautiful smile was aimed at me.

Story
No one but me knew why I was actually in the California desert that day. Nestled deep within the desolate, rocky area was a recording studio. When a door suddenly opened, a man mistook me for someone he was supposed to be interviewing for a job. The next thing I knew, I was whisked inside. The position? An assistant on the upcoming tour for one of America’s most famous rock bands. Pretty exciting opportunity for a twenty-two-year-old, just out of college. Not surprisingly, I bombed the interview.

Why didn’t anybody tell me that Grouch-ish was #3 in terrific author L. B. Dunbar’s Holiday HOTTIES series??? I have some make-up reading to do, but first, let’s talk about this book. It is fantastic. I always expect a great read from Dunbar, and with Grouch-ish she’s done it again.
Brock Madison Scroggs is a grumpy guy. He’s probably always been a little gruff, but he sure hasn’t mellowed with age. At 45 he’s a prime example of a silver fox, except you’d have to get past the attitude to notice. Not sure when he’s really at his best, but the holidays are not it. He’s cranky and bitter and being a Chicago fireman is about all he has left. And he’s on the verge of losing that, just like he lost his wife 5 years ago (to his best friend – ouch!). He has one more chance – attend the annual retreat his boss, the battalion chief of the fire department, conducts for firefighters that are rebellious, struggling, whatever. Kicking and screaming (inside at least) Brock agrees to go – except he’s late to the farm and the bus leaves without him. Oh, oh.
Paradise – Pear – is Battalion Chief Krause’s daughter. She’s just made some major changes in her life and has come home to surprise her dad for the holidays, and maybe get a little TLC and comfort while she tries to reboot her life. Except her dad is leaving in 5 minutes for that retreat. Oh, oh again.
Pear decides to just spend the holidays at the farm and relax, or think, or she’s not sure what but she’ll think of something. When Brock shows up, being his usual abrupt, just short of rude self, she can’t wait to see him leave. Which is what he fully expects to do. Yep, he’s late, yep, he just ruined his last chance at the fire station. And yep, his brain is taking a little detour when he first sees this attractive 40-ish woman, but he needs to shut that train of thought down. Imagine their shock and dismay when the Chief – Frank – tells Pear to keep Brock there, he’s a good guy at heart who needs time and perspective, and some chores around the farm, to hopefully get his head straight. Wait . . . what? Pear hasn’t seen the good guy side yet, just Mr. Angry. Is she supposed to be responsible for him? Where is he supposed to stay? She doesn’t want him there and she also feels a little abandoned by her father. Brock feels like he’s being treated like a child with a task list. But between the impending storm and what really is likely his last chance, not to mention the baffling allure of this women, he decides to stay. So Pear makes a list and they begin The Twelve Days of Christmas together, happy, snug, and warm in the ranch house. Well, not happy, but two out of three . . . .
Brock was blindsided by his wife’s affair with his best friend. The marriage may not have always been great, but darn it, he liked being married. With the home, the kids. Maybe it wasn’t all of the dream but he wanted that life. And now he’s alone in his house with nothing to do but brood. Pear has a cheating, lying ex-husband who took all her money, left her in debt and told her she was getting fat, has just left a job with a shady employer and has nowhere to go but up. It’s only been her and her dad for years now, since they lost her mom and sister. She doesn’t know what she wants or needs or where to start but anything has to be better than what she just left. Twelve days on that farm is probably going to feel like twelve years to both of them.
Except there’s something between them. Yeah, a lot of it’s hostility, but there’s also some easy banter and humor. Their age gap is small, and neither one of them is bright-eyed nor full of youthful innocence. They’ve been hurt, been through things they didn’t expect. But even though they have that in common, their outlooks couldn’t be more different. Brock is Mr. Doom & Gloom. Pear is Merry Sunshine. Makes for a bit of friction at the start.
Grouch-ish rolls smoothly along and as the twelve days count down you start to wish it was twenty days, or forty, or maybe a year, because you don’t want the time with Brock and Pear to be over. Whatever is happening with them is strong. Maybe not plan a future strong, but they begin to open up and share and trust. Under that scowl and beard is a sweet, crooked smile. Brock is actually considerate and thoughtful if he’s just let it out. Pear is wary and bruised by life but funny and empathetic and fearless. And just in case you were wondering, oh, yes, there is lots of smolder between these two – and wait for that smolder start to flame! BTW, Dunbar is really good at those scenes.
Grouch-ish was fun to read; romance at this age is special. Pear and Brock have endured so much that you can’t help but hope they are able to heal each other, because if they haven’t figured it out yet, we already know they are meant to be. The big reveal will have you worried and wondering and wishing. A totally satisfying story by an author who is on my auto-buy list. I received an advance copy of Grouch-ish. I voluntarily leave this review; all opinions are my own.

The heroine, Pear, ends up at her father's farm to get away from heavy things in life. Brock, the hero, is a firefighter who is required by his boss to attend a retreat. But, he missed the bus. He ends up staying with Pear, his boss's daughter. She finds odd jobs for him to do around the farm. Lots of good backstory in this book. Pear and Brock are both healing from life events. They grow to get to know each other over the next 12 days after Christmas. There was great character growth for both the hero and the heroine and good emotion to keep me glued to my ear buds. The author did a fantastic job. This book will definitely get any romance lover into the holiday spirit.

I loved these two together and the way Pear managed to see through Brock's grumpy exterior. Despite Brock being there for his own self improvement, Pear had her own issues to deal with, and I loved how they both managed to help heal each other. This was such a lovely story that really warmed me from the inside out and got me in the holiday mood.
Stella Hunter and Teddy Hamilton absolutely nailed this audio! They are some of my absolute favorite narrators, and this fun story was just another feather in their caps. Stella's voice is always so pleasant to listen to, and she certainly brought the emotion and sass and fun to Pear. And Teddy...he does broody, sexy, silver fox so well! They made this such an enjoyable audio.
I had so much fun with this story and can't wait to read more from this author. Thank you so much to L.B. Dunbar and Home Cooked Books for an ALC of this book.
