Girl Meets Grump
by Hailey Gardiner · Kitt's Harbor #1 · 2024
Trent Stewart is sick and tired of spending all his time dealing with the nagging guests who stay at the cabins of Wildwood. The only way he can finish his current build on the property, a tree house, is to bring on a manager. But Trent’s frustration only mounts as he discovers the new hire is someone he’s already met, a guest whose incessant questions and breezy personality had driven him mad during her stay. Sydney Foster has recently returned home to Kitt’s Harbor after a stint in Europe working as a travel blogger. When she finds herself needing a steady job, managing the enchanting cabins at Wildwood feels like the perfect way to satisfy her wanderlust. Too bad the charming haven in the woods comes with a bear of a man who seems doggedly determined to bring out the worst in her. In this opposites-attract, sweet romantic comedy, Trent and Sydney must join forces to turn the tide for Wildwood while stubbornly trying not to catch feelings for each other along the way. Girl Meets Grump is a closed-door, sweet romance that delivers on all the swoon without the spice.

Sydney has finally put down some roots back home in Kitt's Harbor, Washington and has found herself working as the manager at the local retreat. Her main problem? The surly contractor and part-owner who won't stop glowering at her. It's like Trent is insistent on hating her. I thought this was such a cute and fun read, considering I finished it in only 2 days! I really like how Trent's attitude never waivered or that he turned into this likeable guy because of a girl...because that's just not realistic. He kept his personality and adjusted his manners for her. This book had me giggling and so excited for all the little moments they shared together. A great cozy read for the fall!
