Beauty and the Grump

by Emma Blake

Billionaire. Ranch owner. Single dad.
And now this infuriatingly hot bull-riding grump is my boss.

All I have to do is care for his adorably wild 6-year-old son until he can find a new full-time nanny.

Easier said than done…

Resisting the urge to touch this arrogant DILf’s body long enough for me to make money so I can move back to the city seems basically impossible.

But when he spitefully offered me a huge bonus - enough for me to get out of here and back to the city - I couldn’t say no.

We have to keep things professional at all costs.

This “country way of life” is going to kill me. Literally.

Now the worst tornado of the century is overhead and we’re trapped in a storm cellar together.

We have no choice but to get close. Real close.

There are only two things that can happen now that we’re stuck together:

Hold up this professional charade or let him have his way with me…

Love Changes Everything -
When Brooke accepted the nanny job from her brother’s best friend, it was supposed to be a stop gap job until she could move to the city. However, the more time she spent with the little boy and his father, made it difficult for her to leave. Ross had sworn off women since his last disastrous relationship, but he felt an inexplicable pull towards Brooke from the moment he laid eyes on her and spent time getting to know her.

Even though the sparks continued to fly between them, it took a natural disaster for them to finally acknowledge their feelings towards each other. Unfortunately, they were still weary about revealing their relationship to Brooke’s family, but they soon found out their worries were unwarranted, which gave them the opportunity to work together towards the life they wanted. I really enjoyed reading this heartwarming story. It is a definite must read book.

I received an advanced copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️

I love short and spicy with a good plot line. This book had it all and more. Brooke’s brother Geoff sends her to Ross house to watch his son Joey. As his last nanny left with no notice. Ross offers her a lot to keep her for a month for his son till he can find someone full time. I love a good brothers best friend romance. This shorty is so good. Can’t wait to read more from Emma Blake.

OMG where do I start I love it. NEVER HAVE I EVER WANTED TO BE STUCK IN A STORM BUNKER SO BAD.🤪🥰 opps did I hit caps? Yes I did cos I shouted that out cos that's how good it was. I really wish there was more of there story but it was still nice where it ended. It still left you wanting more.

Great read

Ross and Brooke make the perfect couple. Ross is Geoff’s best friend and Brooke is Geoff’s sister. In a pinch, Brooke starts to nanny for Ross and ends up falling in love with him. The only thing that I didn’t like was that it felt rushed. There was a lot of back story, but not much after they gave in to their attraction. I wish the story had more.

With a title like “Beauty and the Grump” I had assumed it would have some Beauty and the Beast retelling. That wasn’t it. Quick insta lust/love story. One or two grammatical errors, that I had to re-read to make sure I read it right.

Very good book. Extremely short loved it thoogh

[Rennea Burley · Rating 3 out of 5]

The description doesn’t state this, but it is a novella.

I liked the plot, but was expecting more after reading the synopsis.

*sort of spoiler*
Ross isn’t really all that grumpy.

A brother’s best friend/ forced proximity romance. It was a short and good read in which I enjoyed.

[Mandee Kirkpatrick · Rating 4 out of 5]

Such a cute story. I do wish the story was longer. But love the passion they have for each other.

[Stace · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very typical brother's best friend love affair and falling in love with the nanny. It flowed well from start to finish and had good character chemistry with all the characters.

[Ciara Hartman · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not sure why, but I just couldn’t connect with any of the characters. The storyline was ok. A bit of spice towards the end of the story. Spice level 2/5.
