Grumpy Darling

The Darling Devils Series, Book 2

By: Alexandra Moody

Narrated by: Cecily Bednar Schmidt, Dallis Seeker

She's never been kissed. He's never felt this way about anyone.

Paige has ticked off everything on her senior year bucket list except one tiny thing—she's never kissed anyone. And her best friend, Grayson Darling, is to blame.

Grayson is the school hockey team's notorious enforcer, and he's been scaring away any eligible bachelors who so much as look in Paige's direction. With time running out, she demands that Grayson stop defending her honor. Instead, he'll become her dating coach, training her to win the guy of her dreams.

But Grayson has plans of his own. He's been in love with Paige since they were kids, and his clock is running, too. Coaching Paige might be his last chance to show her how good they'd be together. After all, practice makes perfect.

Alexandra Moody's BookTok sensation Darling Devils continues with book two, Grumpy Darling. Perfect for fans of Hannah Grace, clean romance, and slow-burn fire on the ice!

depth of characters

I love the depths of the friendships. how they stick together and have each other's backs. a great book for high schoolers.

How chapters were intruding into others it was nice to see both perspectives of the characters

How slow they read through the chapters it just kinda bored me the book was good though

Dynamic Characters

A clean romance novel with dynamic characters. A great second novel in the Darling series. It’s a joy to follow the characters from one book to the next and watch them take their time in the spotlight.

Heart Attack

I swear this book almost killed me with the tenderness and Grayson’s sweetness. I am in love with these characters and the relationship of Paige and Grayson. Thank you Alexandra for this incredible book.

The well developed charicter of the 3 Darling brothers. Their dynamic with each other.

Excellent and clean to read and listen to, which is a fairy in romantic modern stories.
