4.5 SMOOCHES!
* * * * * * * * * *
SYNOPSIS:
One guest house. One week. One slow-burn disaster waiting to happen.
Dean Whitaker has zero interest in weddings, fairy lights, or the perky woman currently turning his guest house into a scented-candle crime scene.
He’s a divorce attorney. He thrives on prenups, logic, and not getting glitter on his suits.
Poppy Monroe is a wedding planner with a checklist for everything—except how to survive living next door to a hot, brooding, tightly wound lawyer—aka the groom’s brother.
They’re opposites in every way—except for the undeniable chemistry neither of them wants to talk about.
Their mission: survive one week of wedding chaos.
Her vibe: sunshine and glitter pens.
His vibe: whiskey and restraint.
Opposites attract. Then they combust.

REVIEW:
A light-hearted and charming enemies-to-lovers romance, Kendall Ryan’s The Grump Next Door captured the irresistible tension between a brooding heart and a sunny soul. Poppy, the effervescently cheery wedding planner, arrived to organize a lavish wedding on the stunning property owned by Dean, the perpetually scowling divorce attorney and the groom’s older brother. Their clashing personalities ignite a war of witty banter, sizzling tension and simmering frustration.
Ryan used the forced proximity of the wedding preparations to strip away their defenses and transform their initial annoyance into a magnetic chemistry that felt both inevitable and electric. The slow-burn build-up of their relationship was filled with laugh-out-loud moments, heartfelt vulnerability and undeniable attraction. I devoured this grumpy-sunshine tale in a day. The Grump Next Door by Kendall Ryan gets 4.5 smooches from me!
