Prepare to fall in love with this uplifting and laugh-out-loud grumpy sunshine romcom! Perfect for fans of Ali Hazelwood and Tessa Bailey. Dr Hannah Havens is successful, independent, but as prickly as a hedgehog in a blackberry bush. And definitely not looking for love. When she returns to the small town where she grew up, the last thing she needs is to crash into Teddy Fraser, the infuriatingly gorgeous guy that she once snogged. He is most definitely a ladies’ man, the biggest flirt she has ever met, and someone she should avoid at all costs. But, despite her best intentions of keeping Teddy at arm’s length, he keeps popping up. Hannah’s patience with his overtly cheery disposition is wearing thin, but her boss has warned her to improve her people skills. Who better to test out her new patience with than Teddy Fraser. With his affable and charismatic personality, surely Hannah can't avoid his charm forever… Small TownGrumpy x SunshineForced ProximityHe Falls FirstSpicy 🌶️🌶️🌶️‘Reads like a classic rom-com movie; I laughed, I cried, I swooned.
