Emma volunteers at a children’s Christmas play. But she ends up trapped in an icy car wreck and is r escued by the one man she never the grumpy single dad and smoking hot firefighter Luke Sinclair. Who also happens to be the ex she never got over. Talk about a Christmas miracle. Luke has sworn off women. He’s happy being grumpy and alone with his kids. But he can’t help but be drawn to Emma. Trapped alone together until help comes, the holidays start getting steamy as they remember just how badly they used to want each other. A Grumpy Single Dad for Christmas is a steamy second chance holiday romance novella of 10,000 words.
I wanted to love it, wanted to get into the scene. I struggled though. Spoiler alerts possible I guess. Luke has one daughter yet mentions ‘girls’ implying more than one. Happened in the beginning of the book and the end of the book. Then I like to picture the scenes as they are described. ‘Took my panties off and tossed them in the pile of clothes’ but on same page Luke is then moving her panties to the side implying they’re still on her. ‘His hands on my stomach and moved down to my breast’ -isn’t this moving up the body? At one point they’re on the couch then suddenly a mattress but waking up on the couch.
I thought it would be a bit more spicier but beggars can’t be choosers. This was a cute short story! This is my first Marie Holiday and it was adorable.
