About this listen

I love my job. So, when a grumpy grouch wants to shut us down, I’m ready for the fight of my life. I was heading for serious career burnout until my dream job came true. Making pralines for a living has been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. So, it comes as quite a shock when I find out that the owner wants to shut down the LeBlanc-Broussard confectionery because it’s not profitable. My hope is that I can win him over. Once he realizes how integral the confectionery is to the city, to the very makeup of New Orleans he’s bound to agree, right?

Wrong.

Xander LeBlanc is a grump, and it’s questionable whether he has a heart at all! Though I’m ashamed to admit I was blindsided by how hot he is — definitely a 10+. Unfortunately, his personality is a zero. All he’s concerned about are profits and not the charitable work the business is known for.

But suddenly, Xander begins to show up at various events we sponsor. When he arrives at the children’s hospital where I hand out treats during the holiday season, I see an entirely new side to him when he starts playing The Grinch for the kids! When he takes me home later that evening things between us escalate. He confesses that he's been attracted to me from day one and let’s just say, the man has hot skills in bed.

But the inevitable closing of the confectionary still weighs heavy on my mind and I don’t know if I can separate the two. Can I love a man who wants to take away the only joy I have in life? But the bigger question is…

Can I melt the ice around his heart and find my way inside it for longer than a few nights?

Irresistible temptation.

Hagen brings the flavor to romance. From sweet romance to spicy attraction, The Grump is an irresistible temptation. Bailey and Xander bring on all the feels. The emotion just won't quit. Heartstrings are on full display to ignite the senses. Soulful, storytelling with heartwarming tendencies spells unforgettable.

The Grump

This was a great book for this time of the year. Xander was not just grumpy but he was also kinda of grinch as well. While Bailey loves the holidays and even plays Christmas music in the confectionery. Since Xander is all about numbers, any part of the conglomerate that is in the red has to go. The confectionary is one of those businesses. I loved the banter between Xander and Bailey, and of course the grandmothers and their lilac. I am beyond ready to see what Zachary is about to get into in the next books as well.

Loved it

Having read the previous books in the latest series from Layla Hagen I could not wait to read Xander LeBlanc and Bailey’s story.

A well written, entertaining story that ticked all the boxes for me set in New Orleans.

This was a fabulous read that had me swooning and laughing and left me with a smile on my face.

There was so much more to grumpy Xander and I loved that Bailey was the one to peel his layers back.

Teddy Hamilton and Samantha Brentmoor did a fabulous job with their narration. Bringing the story and character to life that Ms. Hagen created. Their voices are easy to listen to and they brought romance, passion and humour to their performances.

Another wonderful story

This is a wonderful story in this series about a grinch getting his heart. I like this series set in New Orleans. The family is close and take care of each other. I especially liked the grandmothers and their matchmaking. The narrators were perfect.
