Grumpy Old Man: An Age Gap Rancher Romance

by Kitty Barstow

She's a young, energetic photographer from a small town ready to take a chance on love, but can she convince a widowed rancher to do the same?A wedding photographer and a cowboy enter a bar... Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke. I thought I was funny when I ordered a Grumpy Old Man cocktail for the jerk sitting next to me at the bar. How could I not when he badmouthed my profession? He might've been the hottest cowboy west of the Mississippi, but we photographers must stick together. Only the joke was on me. Little did I know, Mr. Grumpy was the single father of my latest client, and I was already half in love with the guy after all the hero-worship stories from his son. I had decided long ago to make my move on the man once he flew into town for his son's wedding, and we finally met. During the wedding, I scored an invitation to his ranch for a photoshoot to spruce up his website. Game on.Buy now and take a chance on love!

One Grumpy Old Man for a sexy grumpy older man

Grumpy Old Man is a funny, entertaining and engaging short story that has some definite heat. Rebecca is a photographer who specializes in nude or partially nude portraits. However, she does do other jobs and is photographing the wedding of Jess and Rick, as a paid favor because Jess's parents live next to hers and she just to babysit Jess. The night before the wedding Rebecca is at Naughty Nights having a drink with her friend Olivia when a very hot and sexy older cowboy walks in and sits on the bar stool next to Rebecca. After a phone call with his business partner in which he blasts photographers and also the one that is "robbing him blind" for the wedding photos Rebecca realizes that she is the photographer and he is Cal Blakely, father of the groom. Rebecca had ordered a Grumpy Old Man drink to match his grumpy old man attitude be sent to him before she realized who he was. From this introduction their story is plays out in a funny and entertaining story. I enjoyed reading the story of Cal and Rebecca as they galloped around each other until they finally fell hard and went all in for a HEA.

This short and sweet insta-love story is a must-have, must-read, it shows that love not only comes when you least expect it but that it's never too late to find that person you can spend the rest of your life with.
