Falling for My Mountain Grump

by Zara Knight

I slept with my brother’s best friend and now I’m pregnant.

Harrison Stonehill’s a runaway small-town mountain man turned multi-millionaire.
And he’s here to sell the vineyard I’ve spent ten years running.

He’s grumpy and completely off-limits.
Now he’s living twenty feet from my cottage,
acting like he never abandoned this town.
Or me..

I stayed when everything was falling apart.
He’s built an empire by pretending Cedar Pines never existed.

We fight. Loudly.
We kiss. Accidentally.
We sleep together… not by accident.

Somewhere between arguing over the vineyard
and watching him fix tractors like he still belongs here,
I make the mistake of falling for him.

But if my brother finds out the truth,
I could lose my family, my home,
and the man I never fully let go of.

Because losing the vineyard would break my heart.

But finding out I’m pregnant?
That could destroy us both.

“Falling for My Mountain Grump” is well-written enemies to lovers, small-town story that is full of self-discovery, building trust, heart-felt emotions, and finding romance. The characters are believable and well-rounded. Harry (Harrison) and Chasitity both have focus, although, it is in conflict with what the other thinks and feels. As they move through their “relationship” to try to find common ground, they do develop more trust and develop “a like” with each other. As they find their connection, they do find their happiness. I like how the push-pull dynamic between Harry and Chasity seems really authentic making their story even more engaging. I love how this story is so well-paced, full of wonderful friends and family, and two people realizing they do complete each other making their journey worth the read.

“Falling for My Mountain Grump” by Zara Knight

-A gripping enemies-to-lovers small-town romance. I received a free copy and am voluntarily sharing my honest thoughts.

The story is full of sharp banter and real emotional depth. Harry and Chasity’s attraction/chemistry feels authentic and well earned. The mountain setting, vineyard stakes, and surprise pregnancy add tension and heart. A satisfying, well-paced read about trust, second chances, and home.

Chastity has been handling everything for the vineyard for years. She was taken in by the owner when she lost her parents at the age of fifteen. Harrison had left for college by then and moved to Arizona to open his own business. He’s been very successful and when he inherits the vineyard he decides to sell it. Watch two people bicker, argue, laugh and fall in love. Experience all the feelings both good and bad.
Fantastic read.

🌟 ARC Review 🌟
This is a great small-town romance that works off the inheritance of a vineyard. Harrisons grandma left him the vineyard, and Chastity, who runs and lives in the vineyard, will do everything to keep Harrison from selling. Harrison also happens to be her brothers best friend. Harrison has hard choices to make emotions run high. Trust is on the line. The angst, banter, forbidden love, and chemistry are explosive. I just loved the characters and small-town vibes. I highly recommend

I enjoyed the book. The enemy to lover relationship between Chasity and Harry was something I was rooting for and honestly believed it wouldn’t happen at times. I’m so happy the book ended happy.
