She agrees to the job due to needing a new job, and she wants to use him to get her script looked at and possibly made into a movie. On her first day they crossed the line in the back of his car and they didn't use protection. Once he realized what happened he didn't call her and tell her to get the plan b, he hoped she would get pregnant so he can have a family. After their encounter his rival Victoria shows up at her apartment with a plan for her movie and she asks Elise to spy on Sebastian and report to her what she finds. Unfortunately Elise agrees so she can get her movie and her revenge on Sebastian. Let's see if she goes through with the spying or if he can convince her that they are worth more together, especially with a baby on the way.
This was another good rekindled romance by Ivy Snow, with great chemistry between the main characters, though they fight their feelings for most of the book, misunderstandings, business rivals, revenge, betrayal, a twist and a sweet HEA.

Sebastian and Elise had an affair in Paris, and he ended it without any reason. They reconnect two years later, and, after a night of passion, he breaks her heart again via a text message. They see one another at an art exhibit, and he offers her a job as his assistant after her friend tells him that she is writing a screenplay and is a fan of his. Sebastian is CEO of a film studio and offers to look at her screenplay.
Victoria, the head of a competing studio and former employee of Sebastian, wants to ruin him because he got rid of her and she is seeking revenge. When Elise was at her lowest because of Sebastian's continued rejection of her, Victoria offers her an opportunity to hurt him and to get her screenplay made into a movie. At the same time, Sebastian desperately wants a family, and he makes a deal with Elise to carry his child.
It's a fascinating story of greed, revenge, third chances, and finding trust. Ivy Snow crafted a wonderful story that gripped me from the very beginning. It's much deeper that what the title is, as Sebastian is so much more than grumpy.

The storyline really only got interesting as she was being treated like trash by the MMC. However, things like her constantly talking about how hairy he is, the fact that he’s in his 50s and she’s 20 (like I’m all for age gap but 🤢), and the fact that the MMC kept treating her like crap even as he was like “oh maybe I shouldn’t have done that.”
Also, he said that if she wasn’t pregnant after their third time having sex since seeing each other, that they needed to have her get checked out. Like- he is mid 50s. If he thinks that’s all it takes to have a baby he CLEARLY (and the author) has never met anyone who has tried to get pregnant. Literally even I, who can get pregnant from my husband just looking at me, once when *trying* to get pregnant took 3 MONTHS. And I’ve had 5 miscarriages.
I don’t feel like either of them grew up during the book. The FMC was always nice- she even said she has never hated someone.

Quite a story. I’ve never loved a story where I disliked one of the main characters. This story was so well written I was emotionally invested in each person. I loved Mary and how no nonsense, you’re my best friend, her attitude is. Victoria was the absolute worse with Jaylyn not for behind her. But Seb, while he kinda redeemed himself in the end, I have no idea why Elise kept going back. I felt like she was a case of not being able to escape abuse. From physical abuse with one to mental and emotional abuse with another. Elise is used and abused by everyone except Mary. Yet, she still remains hopeful. While most of the characters were manipulative and just plain horrible, I had no choice but to become fully invested in this story.

Mr Grumpy Silver Fox had the potential for a steamy, age-gap romance with bite—but unfortunately, it just didn’t hit the mark for me.
The story felt scattered, with the FMC swinging between love and hate so frequently it was hard to stay emotionally grounded. The MMC? Definitely grumpy… but at times, he crossed the line into outright rude. The way he ended things with her and continued to treat her poorly for most of the book made it tough to root for their connection. His sudden redemption near the end felt a bit too convenient.
I almost DNF’d, but I stuck with it hoping for payoff. While it had its moments, the emotional whiplash and lack of consistent character growth made it a tough read.
Still, if you’re into angsty, tension-filled romances with a rough-around-the-edges hero, this might be more your flavour.
Elise was compelled under duress to assist her idol Victoria in obtaining information from Sebastian in an attempt to jeopardize his business. Elise decided to aid Victoria due to Sebastian's mistreatment towards her, feeling it was a form of retribution.
Upon discovering the motivation behind Victoria's attempts to harm his business, she came to the realization that she had erred in assisting her. As she attempted to extricate herself from the situation, Victoria responded unfavorably by releasing a sex tape involving her and her abusive ex-boyfriend.
Will Sebastian forgive her for her betrayal or would he leave her?
Elise is a struggling screenwriter and Sebastian is the much older guy who she had a secret affair with for 6 months before he suddenly breaks it off via text. He also happens to own and run his own movie studio. 2 years later they see each other again and he offers her a job as his personal assistant. Add in the rival studio owner and Sebastians ex lover, Elise's abusive ex (he is also signed to Seb's studio) and a lot of drama.

After the text breakup from Sebastian, no one would blame Elise for rejecting what he offers her two years later. She is stuck, because she needs to accept his offer or his competition will blacklist her (seeing she wants to get Elise to get information on Sebastian). I enjoyed the spark between Elise and Sebastian, although I didn't always like the way Sebastian treats her, and I certainly didn't like Victoria.

Sebastian, the grumpy old man, and Eloise, the young aspiring movie writer. This was the first book I read from this author and I loved it! The chemistry between the two main characters is amazing! I wasn’t able to stop reading! I love when a man think he got it all figured it out but was so wrong. Eloise is strong, hardheaded and a fighter to get Sebastian back. And I love the bad Victoria character! I really recommend this book!.

An age gap story with Sebastian and Elise full of ups and downs, drama, treachery and heat. The MCS were together until he left her heartbroken. Two years later he offers her a chance to work for him and wants her to carry his baby! Plus she’s also offered the chance ( by his enemy) to destroy Sebastian. What’s a girl to do in order to find her happiness. It was enjoyable reading their journey to a hea. I found the age gap quite extensive personally and Sebastian wasn’t a particularly good person at the beginning but it was enjoyable to see him changing for her.
OMG 😱 this was an Awesome book. It was a steamy page turner and the suspense was intense and entertaining. I was on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t even put it down. The chemistry and physical attraction between them was sensational and romance. In one night the rollercoaster of life will change them forever in a surprise moment and unexpected twist and drama.
I definitely recommend this book and you won’t be disappointed. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Trina Jones
3.5-4* This one was a hard one for me to review as I was frustrated with the characters. Sebastian’s treatment of Elise and Elise’s willingness to be a victim (of Sebastian and others) over and over rubbed me wrong. It had a good storyline of greed, revenge, blackmail, heartache, passion, trust issues and many chances at redemption. I do get caught up in the treachery and scheming Elise faced. Overall a good read but for my need for Elise to stand strong in herself. We do get a baby blessed HEA. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
I enjoyed reading this book. Once I started reading Mr. Grumpy Silver Fox, I didn't want to put it down. The characters are great and the storyline hooked me from the start. I don't want to spoil this book for anyone so I won't go into details. Please read the book blurb for some information about the book. I recommend reading this book. I hope you enjoy it!. .

The author has given we the reader a captivating story starting from the first chapter, starring Sebastian and Elise. Years separate the two yet we see enemies to lovers, marriage, pregnancy and everything in between (some good, some bad) The wording and pictures painted in the mind give a realistic view. I enjoyed this story and Ivy Snow needs to be commended on this amazing crafted release. You will want more!
Sebastian left Elise with a broken heart and two years later he wants her to be his assistant and give him a baby. If that isn't enough his enemy offers Elise a lucrative deal to fund her movie if she lends her hand in destroying Sebastian. This intriguing story is filled with drama that had me connecting with both of them and cheering them on as they navigate their path to happiness.

Not your typical age-gap story! It starts with a bang (steamy scene on the first page!!)! This book just wasn’t for me; I got about half way through and realized I was forcing myself to read it. I think there were just SO many tropes thrown in there, it got a bit convoluted for my taste. If you like a complicated daddy story, you’ll love this one!!.

Elise and Sebastian have so much history, and it ended with heartache, so when a chance meeting brings them back in the same path, what can go wrong? Their story is broken and emotionally frustrating for them, which was well portrayed in Ivy Snow's writing. The long way to happiness was much deserved at the end.

Elise loves Sebastian but he's a coward who disappears while she sleeps in a hotel bed. Two years later, Sebastian needs a new PA and asks Elise to work for him. When Seb's ex Victoria blackmail's Elise, she agrees only to change her mind. This story includes some very sick minded people plus lots of romance and steam, ending in a HEA. Very highly recommended.

This was Sebastian and Elise’s story. Two years ago, Sebastian Martinez left her broken-hearted with nothing but a “I’m sorry” text. Today, this grumpy silver fox offers a crazy proposal: Become his personal assistant and… make him a baby? 😮 Then, his arch-enemy knocks on her door with a deal: Ruin Sebastian and she’ll fund her movie. Or be blacklisted in the film industry forever. What will she do? An intriguing read. And voluntarily leaving this review.
Age gap, revenge, grump, surprise baby. It had all the makings of an amazing book. However, it failed to deliver.
Sebastian had the grump silver fox part down. Elise however, fell completely flat for me. Her character never developed for me. She was extremely childish. ‘He hurt me so he deserves this’. It was juvenilely played out.
I was so annoyed at so many different parts, I almost didn’t finish this book.
And can we talk about all this back pain Seb was having with no explanation?
Sebastian was a movie producer. Two years prior he had an affair with Elise. She is twenty plus years younger than him. She is writing a script . After two years she meets up with him again but doesn’t want to have anything to do with him. He asks her to be his assistant. She needs a job but makes him promise that that is all they will be. But the tension between them is thick. So much happens. It is a need to read story!
Elise can feel the floor drop out from under her feet when she gets a break up text from her silver fox Sebastian minutes after being w/ him. Now we jump a few years later and she ends up being his assistant imagine how that goes. This is a entertaining story w/ plenty of steaminess, infuriating characters, blackmail and so much more. You'll be wrapped up in the story in no time.
Holy smokes this book is going to steal your heart and remind you that true love conquers all. I LOVED 🥰 LOVED 🥰 LOVED this book and thought it had you escape into a world of passion, excitement and love even though Elise and Sebastian were not on the best of terms at times. This book is a perfect addition to your kindle library of reads.
Well this book definitely had me feeling all different kinds of emotions, at times I would be very annoyed and angry with the lead male and other times feel very sorry for him, it was still a good book and I did enjoy it I will try more from this author.

I loved the heat and passion between the MCs, especially when they were fighting. You just knew that they would finally get back together and become a family. I liked the way Elise finally took down Victoria and made her pay. I highly recommend this book to all romance readers.
