Snowed in With the Grump: A Grumpy Sunshine Christmas Romance

Rate this book
Snowed in With the Grump (Book 1: Snowball Falls Series)

He’s got firewood, bad manners, and he’s one gingerbread emergency away from falling in love.


When Holly Morgan gets stranded in a blizzard, she has exactly three freeze, walk three miles in sparkly mittens, or knock on the door of her brother’s best friend, aka the town’s grumpiest carpenter who ever lived.

Caleb Dawson has a cabin full of firewood, a very judgmental cat, and absolutely no interest in holiday cheer. But when a snowstorm traps them together with a hundred cookies to bake for the town fundraiser, sparks fly, and not just from the fireplace.

It’s sunshine vs. sawdust in this feel-good Christmas romcom, where a snowstorm romance turns into something warmer than either of them expected. A grumpy-sunshine holiday romance with cookies, second chances, secret softies, and the magic of staying, all wrapped up in a sweet romantic comedy.

This is the sweetest Christmas book I have read. Holly the sweetest Kindergarten teacher who loves everything Christmas. Holly gets stranded on the road when the blizzard hits. Her only option is to walk 3 miles to town, freeze to death in her car or walk to the grumpiest man in town Caleb. She decides to walk to Caleb’s he will let her in.

When she knocks on his door he has a grumpy look on his face like he wasn’t expecting company. Caleb has a warm place to stay, a cat who may or may not like her and kitchen full of items to make Christmas cookies and lots of sprinkles which Caleb is not a fan of.

But, what happens when the snowstorm traps them inside his house. It’s the girl who loves Christmas and the guy that won’t let anyone get close to him because he’s had his heart broken before. Can these two become friends or even more.

Love a grumpy sunshine book

I wasn't sure if grumpy sunshine was my thing, but I really enjoyed this snowed in story of forced proximity making two people see the importance of each other. Thank you Robin for this wonderful heartwarming story of finding your One and not giving up on him.

Needed an editor

Too many inconsistencies to enjoy the book. Someone should have waited to publish until it was edited or at least some beta reader let the author know how many errors there were.

Sickeningly sweet. But if you like really sweet, innocent, extra clean (2 kisses maybe), holiday puns, miss sunshine and a grump then You’ll love this. The third person narration kinda killed it for me, but again that’s personal preference.
