Mr. Crotchety

By: Rich Amooi

Narrated by: Greg Tremblay

Length: 5 hrs and 21 mins

Publisher's summary

Shoe store owner Roger Hudson has a chip on his shoulder the size of Mount Rushmore. Hiring real estate agent Sally Bright, the most annoyingly positive woman ever, probably isn't the smartest move - but she's the best. Her constantly bubbly nature gets under Roger's skin, but there's an even bigger problem. She's also getting into his heart. And don't even get him started on her dynamite legs.

Roger doesn't fool Sally one bit. She knows his crotchety act is as fake as her best friend's Gucci bag. She's dealt with his type before, but selling his home is proving to be harder than she thought - especially since she's developing feelings for her handsome client. But just when things seem to be going in the right direction, Sally's secret could destroy everything she worked so hard for.

crotchety he is..

What a fun story. Narrator was amazing, too. Rich Amooi continues to write winners.

Very cute

Good story. Kept me entertained! Would love to find out what happens between Porsha and Jeffree!

Reminded me of the Rosie project

Loved this book. I rated it 5 stars cause i would listen to it again. Great characters

nice and sweet

it was a cute short story. I enjoyed the humor and the narrative was good too. I usually can't stand male narrators doing female voices but I enjoyed this.

A Light-heated Feel Good Romance!

Rich Amooi's stories are always a pleasure and fun to listen too! Each plot is clean, sweet, funny, low on the angst, and doesn't leave the listener emotionally drained. I love how he always delivers those heart warming moments that will make you smile and leave you with a feel good feeling. Mr. Crotchety was a nice change of pace from the more serious romance stories I listen too, and I feel it deserves five stars.

Greg Tremblay's performance was awesome! He did an amazing job with the characters, and all the emotions! I don't cry….but I actually had tears in my eyes during the apology and confession of love scenes and it was Greg's performance that brought these touching moments to life. I hope to hear more audios narrated by him.

If you love a good clean fun story with humor and lots of kisses, then you don't want to pass up on this story! I will definitely be listening to another Rich Amooi story in the future.

Crotchety isn't always a bad thing ...

What made the experience of listening to Mr. Crotchety the most enjoyable?

Mr. Tremblay gave a wonderful performance with his narration. He made each character real for me. His inflections for both the male and female characters were spot on. I want to meet some of these people in real life.

Who was your favorite character and why?

While I liked all of the characters, they are well rounded and well developed, I enjoyed Roger the best. It was nice to see the true person inside and listen to him develop into what I would say was his old self years ago.

Crouton was great too. I love a dog with personality.

What does Greg Tremblay bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Mr. Tremblay's ability to show a wide range of emotions was the foundation of this great narration. I can't wait to listen to another of his performances.

If you could rename Mr. Crotchety, what would you call it?

The title fits this book perfectly.

Any additional comments?

I liked that this book was full of characters that were past the age of 30. It's nice to see a romantic comedy with 'older' characters.

Quirky rom com

Yet another fantastic rom com from Rich Amooi. Roger "Mr Crotchety" sends out the grumpy old man vibes. I usually don't like negative characters, but Roger had a softer side and I loved him. His grumpiness came across as amusing rather than annoying and I found myself giggling on numerous occasions. I enjoyed reading a romance with characters in their 50s and 60s and relished the resulting George Clooney massaging my feet fantasy.

I listened to the audiobook edition narrated by Greg Tremblay. He did a fabulous job, speaking clearly and at a good pace. His characterisation was excellent.

Fun Chic-lit

So sweet

Totally sweet and charming feel good romance for over 50 crowd. Hero lost his wife to cancer and meets a very irritatingly happy real estate agent. She is a cancer survivor unbeknownst to him and her happiness and joy of life drives the grouch crazy. HEA
