My Grumpy Valentine

by L.A. Remenicky

Ashley Sweet was living her dream—baking cupcakes and making plans to expand her bakery—until Thorton Hodges walked in with an offer she could, and did, refuse.


Dismayed at her refusal of his client’s offer, Thorn briefly wonders what the pretty young baker’s lips would feel like beneath his before immediately dismissing the idea. After all, fate only grants a man one true love.


Both Ashley and Thorn are hesitant to acknowledge the growing attraction between them until a near-disaster puts Ashley in need of Thorn’s help. Will Thorn be Ashley’s Grumpy Valentine or will he walk away?

My Grumpy Valentine by L.A. Remenicky is a quick but awesome novella. It is a perfect read for Valentine’s Day or any day when you need a quick story of spice and love. It is an age gap romance. Ashley our FML owns a bakery and Thorn our MML wants to buy her recipe and bakery for his client. I am sure you can use your imagination to figure out how things go from there.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a quick, entertaining, age gap romance. Thank you for a fabulous and engaging read!

My Grumpy Valentine was a sweet, nice read. It was too short in my opinion though. I enjoyed Ashley & Thorn's story. I did feel that the 'grumpy' part lacked. Thorn came off as your typical businessman. Nevertheless, a good, slice-of-life story.

This is a short sweet love story. There is a little conflict, little drama and a little steam (could have been more in my opinion). I would love to get recipes for the tasty cupcakes mentioned. Overall good read.

I really enjoyed this grumpy-sunshine, age gap romance. Ashley unintentionally wins Thorn over after he shows up to try to buy her bakery and recipe for a client. Thorn doesn’t think anything will work out because she’s so much younger than he is, but eventually, he changes his mind. The spice is good, and the characters end up being perfect for each other.
