About this ebook

One by one, these grumps will fall.

Welcome to Teddington, West London—where the men are broody, the women are luminous, and happily ever afters are hard-fought yet inevitable.

In this scorchingly hot collection of opposites-attract, instalove romances, you’ll meet Jack, Sean, and Keith: three men who’ve never believed themselves worthy of forever… until they spot the one. But love is never that simple, and each of them must learn to stop self-sabotaging before they ruin the best thing that’s ever happened to them.

Each story stands alone, yet together, they create a cozy small-town world of found family, late-night pints, early-morning coffees, and the kind of steam that’ll fog up your reading glasses. Along with all the deliciously messy grumpy/sunshine vibes your heart desires.

Alice and the Grump

A broody celebrity chef meets the curvy café manager he accidentally ruins—and the only woman he’s ever been tempted to fight for. This silver fox might save her business… and lose his heart in the process.

All My Heart

A burnt-out comedian, a gorgeous young drifter, and one impossible age gap. He thinks she’s too bright for his darkness—until her laughter becomes the only spark he can’t live without.

Roommates with Benefits

He wanted a quiet male roommate. He got Sam: sunshine in tiny tank tops. Forced proximity turns to slow-burn longing as a reclusive, self-loathing man discovers what it means to protect—and be loved by—the woman who sees straight through him.


What are you waiting for? All three of these grumps could be yours today and ever after.

Each of this trio of interconnected standalone stories is dual POV, well written, and a sweet and steamy, opposites attract, instalove, contemporary romance. I enjoyed the character growth and development, as well as the support from those around them. I enjoyed the building intimacy and the happy endings. I received a complimentary copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I've read a lot of books written by L. Moone; she is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books. This is a three-book boxset. Each book is a stand-alone book with interesting story lines and characters.

This is a set of steamy romances with big, cuddly cinnamon roll guys telling how they fell for their special lady. These books capture real emotions and the uncertainties we all face when building relationships with partners. I have read these books several times, and I will definitely do it again! Excellent set of books with plenty of steam and the best happy endings. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
