Book Mood: Grumpy/Sunshine

I love me a grumpy hero, especially when he's paired with a sunshiney heroine. "The grumpy one is soft for the sunshine one" is so good, every single time. To the surprise of no one, I've written that sort of pairing more than once. And I'm sure I'll return to it again!

When he's stoic on the outside, but marshmallowy soft for her? SWOON!
