Reese has been driving Nick for over a month before he realizes she is a woman。 Then he tries to apologize and just goes over the top。 He invites her to be his date to a charity gala。 His ex-girlfriend accosts them and says things that make Reese think she is only there to make the ex-girlfriend jealous。 She is mortified and freezes Nick out。 Then when she gets terrible news about her sister， Nick is there to pick up the pieces and help her get things situated for her sister and niece。 Reese and Reese has been driving Nick for over a month before he realizes she is a woman。 Then he tries to apologize and just goes over the top。 He invites her to be his date to a charity gala。 His ex-girlfriend accosts them and says things that make Reese think she is only there to make the ex-girlfriend jealous。 She is mortified and freezes Nick out。 Then when she gets terrible news about her sister， Nick is there to pick up the pieces and help her get things situated for her sister and niece。 Reese and Nick slowly move out of the ice cold no-mans land she put them in。 The more Reese needs Nick the more he steps up。 One night their relationship turns physical and they are electric together。 There are more surprises for Nick and Reese as they negotiate her sister's problems， caring for her niece and his ex-girlfriend stalker。 I loved this book and burned through it， barely putting it down。 Lots of action， drama and of course hot and steamy times。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

Nick and Reese come from different worlds but when these two connect it’s undeniable chemistry！ I loved the storyline and the characters。 I am voluntarily leaving my honest review after reading this arc。

Although Nick is a successful businessman it is the way that his life plays out in the media that garners the most attention。 His past has made him guarded， and he doesn’t allow many people close but there is something about Reese， his driver， that draws him in and when she needs help there is no place that he would rather be。 Working as a driver for Brandt Ideas is not only a job Reese enjoys but it also allows her to financially help her sister and her niece and there is nothing she wouldn’t d Although Nick is a successful businessman it is the way that his life plays out in the media that garners the most attention。 His past has made him guarded， and he doesn’t allow many people close but there is something about Reese， his driver， that draws him in and when she needs help there is no place that he would rather be。 Working as a driver for Brandt Ideas is not only a job Reese enjoys but it also allows her to financially help her sister and her niece and there is nothing she wouldn’t do for them。 She may be attracted to Nick， but she is also well aware of his reputation however the last thing she expected was that he would be the one she could count on when she needed someone the most。Both Nicky and Reese have overcome less than idyllic pasts and are facing a lot of serious challenges in the present。 They have been denying their attraction to each other for a while but seeing them work together and open their hearts to each other is everything you could ask for and more。 。。。more

I enjoyed Perfect Grump， but it had quite a few twists and turns， and it got to be a bit tedious。 Maybe life is that way。 Not sure。 To be honest， I found Reese at least as grumpy as Nick。 He could do no right at times。 Yes， he was over the top and couldn’t stay out of the tabloids， but he didn’t come off as a grump。 He also seemed so willing to help her it was amazing。 He tried repeatedly to shake his problems， to the point he almost sacrificed everything。 As in Ward’s book， the grandmother save I enjoyed Perfect Grump， but it had quite a few twists and turns， and it got to be a bit tedious。 Maybe life is that way。 Not sure。 To be honest， I found Reese at least as grumpy as Nick。 He could do no right at times。 Yes， he was over the top and couldn’t stay out of the tabloids， but he didn’t come off as a grump。 He also seemed so willing to help her it was amazing。 He tried repeatedly to shake his problems， to the point he almost sacrificed everything。 As in Ward’s book， the grandmother saved the day。 The time frame jumps in this book made sense mostly。 At the end， though I usually look for more info on how a couple does after they get together。 In this case， there was a bit more than i needed。 The book had already seemed to stretch for an eternity。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

Really enjoyed this next installment in the grumpy series。 Like with the others， you don’t need to read the other books but it will help you get more involved with the secondary characters。Reese is the company driver for the executive team at Brandt Ideas and and loves her job but not all of her passengers。 Nick pushes all of buttons and of course helps run the company。 Thankfully they get past the awkward beginnings and until the first big obstacle and then the next。Really enjoyed the character Really enjoyed this next installment in the grumpy series。 Like with the others， you don’t need to read the other books but it will help you get more involved with the secondary characters。Reese is the company driver for the executive team at Brandt Ideas and and loves her job but not all of her passengers。 Nick pushes all of buttons and of course helps run the company。 Thankfully they get past the awkward beginnings and until the first big obstacle and then the next。Really enjoyed the characters。 How the story showed their personalities and the journeys they went through to become who they are and who they hope to be。 My one negative was I was waiting for something terrible to happen later in the book。 So my anticipation was worse than what actually did happen。 Most likely not a problem for most， but it was for me。 Hope to read more about the characters in this world soon。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

I love Nicole Snow she always does so well with the Grumps。 Spoiled rich boy has no idea his driver is a female， Reese。 Their relationship starts slow。 There are many factors that prevent their relationship from being easy。 It is a good enemies to lovers read which is one of my favorites。 A well written book as usual from Nicole Snow。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。

This book was a bit slow at times。 It takes place over a long span and there is a lot of build-up to Reese and Nick's relationship。 It was nice to see how they built up their trust and comradery。 There would be little hurdles that would push them along。 And then more and more things just kept happening。 But then it would feel a bit bogged down again。 But overall I really liked the story。 I liked that so much of the story was about family， and they both had complicated backgrounds。 I don't think This book was a bit slow at times。 It takes place over a long span and there is a lot of build-up to Reese and Nick's relationship。 It was nice to see how they built up their trust and comradery。 There would be little hurdles that would push them along。 And then more and more things just kept happening。 But then it would feel a bit bogged down again。 But overall I really liked the story。 I liked that so much of the story was about family， and they both had complicated backgrounds。 I don't think Nick was really that grumpy but there were definitely times I wanted to chuck my kindle at him for being an idiot。 There were also some added mystery type elements which added some teeth to the story。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

It Comes To Reese， Who Stubbornly Challenges Him To Up His Game。ABOUT THE GRUMP SERIES:This workplace romance is part of the Chicago-based billionaire Grump series of related standalones。 To date the series includes:1。tOffice Grump （Magnus Heron & Sabrina Bristol’s story）2。tBossy Grump （Ward Brandt & Paige Holly’s story）3。tPerfect Grump （Nicholas Brandt & Reese Halle’s story）In Office Grump， Magnus and Brina’s enemies to lovers romance will have you in stitches！ The slow burn turns tender when a teenage boy named Jordan enters the mix。 It is a story about family and grouchy billionaires with golden hearts。In Bossy Grump， Sabrina’s roommate Paige gets her own story with a different Chicago billionaire。 Note that Sabrina and Paige attended college together and roomed together after graduation until Magnus came into the picture。 In Sabrina’s story， she had attended the University of Chicago。 Bossy Grump has the girls attending Northwestern together。 In this story， Perfect Grump， Ward’s wild younger brother Nick gets his own story with their driver， Reese。 Their story was hinted at in Bossy Grump; here readers get to see what was really going on between the pair。 Although both books are standalones， since they both revolve around the Brandt family and Brandt Ideas， much is gained from having read both。 Fans will appreciate references to other series by the author sprinkled throughout， including Heart’s Edge and Knights of Dallas。 Paige is cousins with Olivia， the heroine of book three of the Enguard Protectors series。 Liv is an author who finds love with Riker Woods in Still Not Yours。FROM BOSSY GRUMP:Brandt Ideas Inc。 is an esteemed Chicago architecture firm。 Started by the legend Beatrice Nightingale Brandt and her husband Godfrey Brandt， the company’s designs are highly coveted。 Godfrey passed away seven years ago， but Beatrice， in her seventies， shows no signs of slowing down as the creative genius behind the company’s success。 She views architecture as an art form。 Her designs have become known for her unique ability to combine design and nature with a modern eye for style and a sustainable green imprint。 Her home base is known for its iconic Arboretum Office， which is both an office and a greenhouse。 A replica is included in the Nightingale Brandt exhibit housed at the Art Institute of Chicago。 Beatrice and her husband shared the dream of one day winning a contract with multi-billionaire Ross Winthrope to build a fabulous new hotel that graces the Chicago skyline。 Beatrice just might have the opportunity to fulfill that dream as Mr。 Winthrope is finally getting serious about the project。 Despite the stellar reputation of Brandt Ideas and Beatrice， the family’s reputation is far from squeaky clean。 Victor and Giselle continue to grace headlines from time to time， apparently not having learned their lesson back during the Dylan Parnell incident。 Nicholas is routinely featured in the gossip columns with models and actresses， and the bachelor enjoys playing the field。 Ward， too， has been the subject of some stories that paint him in a negative light。 Roland Osprey of The Chicago Tea is always game for running stories on the troubled Brandt family。Ward Brandt， thirty-two， is the straight-laced Senior Partner at Brandt Ideas Inc。 Ward assumes personal responsibility for both Brandt Ideas and the tarnished Brandt family reputation。 His younger brother Nick seems to do his best to keep the family in the gossip rags。 Ward spent four years in the Army， where he made good friends， developed great discipline， and enjoyed a sense of purpose。 That last deployment to Iraq， however， had left him jumpy。 He returned home a little lost， but went to college while working at Brandt Ideas。 He attended Northwestern and earned two degrees。 He is a tireless workaholic and poised to one day take over as CEO。 He hasn’t had time for dating in a few years – not since that disastrous breakup with his ex-fiancée， Maria Duchessny。 The tabloids ate up his heartbreak with stories about his playboy ways。 It seems he will never live down his family’s scandalous past。 Ward knows it is his job to protect his family and the company that his grandparents built。 The company is especially vulnerable with him and Nick in leadership roles。 Though they are both well-educated and practically grew up in the company’s offices， some will forever associate the Brandt boys with the sins of their parents。 Determined to maintain a sterling reputation both personally and for the company， Ward works hard and follows the rules， and expects nothing less from Brandt Ideas employees。 This unfortunately makes him come across as grouchy and hard to get along with。 His employees call him The Warden。IN THIS STORY:Note that this story opens a few months before Ward and Paige’s story， which begins when Paige begins her new job as an executive assistant at Brandt Ideas and sometime after Nick has finally taken a closer look at the new driver。 At least eighty percent of the story takes place after Ward and Paige are married， meaning most of the story takes place after Ward and Paige’s story comes to a close。 Nick and Reese’s romance is thus very slow to develop over time and takes well over one year to play out。 Nicholas Brandt， thirty， thinks everything is a joke。 The billionaire bad boy plays hard。 He is the easy-going Brandt brother。 He isn’t the one people turn to when they need help – that would be his older brother Ward。 His whole life he has followed in Ward’s shadow。 It doesn’t stop him from being useful， though。 He knows how to work hard。 Like Ward， he grew up in the Brandt offices and does have a good work ethic。 Ward had joined the Army， and Nick chose to go into the service as well， serving in the Navy。 He accumulated so many credits while he served that it only took him just over a year after ETSing to graduate with two degrees – one in business and the other in architecture。 Nick lives in the fast lane， all chronicled in the gossip rags， in particular The Chicago Tea。 Roland Osprey seems to take sick pleasure in trashing Nick’s reputation。 Nick learned a long time ago that it doesn’t really matter what he does because he cannot escape his past。 His own parents’ antics were so notorious that he and Ward didn’t stand a chance at getting fair press。 And Nick had made more than his fair share of mistakes， leaving behind a trail of heartbroken models， influencers， and actresses。 All of his antics are documented for posterity。 He has been defined by the press， and he has lost control over his reputation。 With a hungry press looking for dirt on him， it makes trusting people rather difficult。 The public doesn’t know who he really is， but reality doesn’t matter。 So he enjoys himself， living the high life – drinking， partying， and enjoying plenty of women。 He even puts his propensity to party to work by entertaining clients that like to have a good time， too; Ward cannot say much about it when it ends with a lucrative new contract。 Reese Halle， about twenty-three， has always enjoyed driving。 It destresses her。 She even considered skipping college to get her commercial license。 She had moved her way up to working as a chauffeur when she was assigned to drive Beatrice Brandt， the well-known billionaire architect。 She must have left a good impression because a few weeks later， at Beatrice’s suggestion， she applied for the position of driver for the management team at Brandt Ideas and landed the lucrative $90，000 per year job。 That job is a godsend， making it easier for her to help out her sister Abby and three year old niece Maddie。 Abby and Reese lost their parents when they were six and two， respectively。 After that， they were thrown into the foster system。 Abby struggled a bit in her transition to living independently – something not so uncommon amongst former foster kids。 She had gotten into drugs briefly， but those days seemed long gone。 Ever since she had Maddie over three years ago， Abby has been a devoted mother。 But being a single mom is taxing， and she does tend to be short on money， no thanks to Maddie’s deadbeat father， Will Frisk， who barely shows interest in his daughter。 Reese occasionally helps out， and she enjoys showering her niece with attention。 Reese’s new job is always interesting。 Beatrice is absolutely wonderful in a grandmotherly way。 Ward is very stiff; he is hot and cold and incredibly grumpy。 Nick is so egotistical that he hasn’t even noticed that she is a woman。 Reese wears a bulky winter coat and a hat， granted， but he seems convinced she is just one of the guys。 He rambles on and on to her about women and going out。 It certainly is a hit on her self-esteem， but Reese isn’t about to complain。 She needs her job。 It takes about two months for him to realize she is a woman， but then his endless attempts to make it up to her only grate further on her nerves。 He isn’t particularly good with boundaries， and Reese is determined to keep things professional。 His Jekyll and Hyde personality is hard to keep up with – grumpy one day and too friendly the next。 As the Windy City billionaire bachelor， she knows he is out of her league and enjoys playing the field， so nothing good can come from a dalliance， which is all it would ever be despite their insane enemies to lovers chemistry。 One day the pair actually spends some time together。 The two begin to bond and form a friendship， but the peace is short-lived。 Carmen Seraphina has had an on again off again relationship with Nick for years， although it has been mostly off for a while now。 They grew up together， and she eventually went on to become a Hollywood actress。 When Carmen causes a scene and publicly humiliates Reese， Reese decides she has had enough of the bad boy bachelor。 She is stubborn and unforgiving， and the temporary truce turns into a cold and emotionless work relationship。As the months pass， Nick begins make some changes in his life。 Ward marries Paige， and Nick wouldn’t necessarily be opposed to living the dream himself。 In a way， he is growing up。 Nick slowly begins to consider putting toxic relationships and his drinking days behind， but he remains fatalistic。 The problem is that he still cannot escape his past。 Between Carmen and Osprey， he knows there will be more scandal in his future， more headlines to hurt the family， the business， and his personal reputation。 There is no statute of limitations on airing his mistakes， and no woman would voluntarily be put through the grinder of the harsh public spotlight that he has dealt with his entire life。 Things between him and Reese have stagnated， but when Reese is suddenly faced with a personal crisis， Nick won’t stand by idly。 The story turns much more serious about twenty percent in。 Nick steps in to help Reese when she takes over Maddie’s care in the wake of Abby’s arrest。 Reese is fiercely independent and tries adamantly to shew him away， but Nick finds a patient strength within， determined to do the right thing even though he knows a relationship with Reese isn’t in the cards for him。 Even though a life with her is exactly the kind of life he now wants。 But the couple faces considerable challenges。 Reese must adjust to taking in her four year old niece and all the strains of essentially being a single parent。 Her sister， meanwhile， won’t work with her attorney。 The idea of a speedy release seems dim， and in fact Abby’s incarceration could be considerable unless she stands up for herself。 Nick faces an imminent PR crisis thanks to Carmen， who is a loose cannon。 And Osprey just won’t give it up。 Things only get more complicated from there。 The couple eventually earns a happy ending。Nick and Reese’s story begins as an enemies to lovers romance， but that is very short-lived。 Abby’s arrest brings them together after months of drifting apart。 It turns out there is a Prince Charming side to Reese’s perfect grump bossman。 He can relate a little to some of what she has been through。 Nick might be a billionaire， but he knows a little something about losing parents。 His parents abandoned him and Ward by choice; Reece’s parents had died in an accident。 Nick learned to appreciate the family he had left – his grandparents and Ward。 Reece has only Abby and Maddie， and they are the center of her world。 Ward and Nick may have been lucky they had their grandparents， but being famous brought its own problems。 Nick learned that he couldn’t trust people。 He didn’t put up walls in the same way Ward did; Nick’s walls are more subtle。 He indulges in fun in order to escape his troubles， to rewrite his own story。 It just doesn’t work out very well for him。 Reece has constructed walls to keep people out， and she stubbornly enforces those barriers。 She wants to keep her relationship with Nick strictly professional。 Both are afraid of being vulnerable。 Reese knows that her humble background doesn’t measure up。 Nick’s world is way out of her league。 But Nick feels tarnished by his past， no good for someone like Reese。 He would only bring her down with him。 Both want to avoid heartbreak， and therefore they hold back instead of taking a chance on love。 Nick is a complex character。 He and Ward were essentially raised by their grandparents， which certainly had an impact on them。 He is driven by the Brandt curse， but he has given up on the idea of escaping it himself。 It worked for Ward， but Ward hadn’t made all the mistakes Nick had。 Nick， his family， and Brandt Ideas/Brandt Designs add depth and detail to the story。 They make it feel real and tangible。 Beatrice is brilliant and sweet， much like a grandmother might be。 Reese’s situation with her single mom sister is more relatable perhaps for the ordinary person。 Worries about the legal system， custody， and the day to day concerns of a single parent help to balance out the billionaire aspect of the story， making it feel more real。 Don’t forget to download the free Flash Forward via the link at the back of the book！ Nick and Reese get their own story in this slow burn。 It is an enemies-to-lovers story about a grouchy bad boy Chicago billionaire trying to escape his troubled past。 Nick can’t seem to do anything right when it comes to Reese， who stubbornly challenges him to up his game。 The story is unrushed， and the end feels complete。 It takes a while to get through。 It is well-written。 My ARC copy had just a few typos， but I anticipate they were caught in the final draft （they usually are）。 The plot is somewhat simple。 The characters are thoughtfully developed。 They are three dimensional。 The story is written in first person。 The POV alternates between Nick and Reece。 I rate this book 4。5 stars。I received an advance copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

I received this ebook ARC， from the author， on the condition that I write an honest review。Nick is the youngest son of the Brandt family， and is a spoiled， rich， CEO playboy。 He is driven to his different meetings， and club visits by the company driver。 He talks to the diver， the whole time， but is unaware that the driver is a female， because he never allows a response from the driver。Reese is the driver for the Brandt family， and has grown a dislike for Nick， after hearing all about his party w I received this ebook ARC， from the author， on the condition that I write an honest review。Nick is the youngest son of the Brandt family， and is a spoiled， rich， CEO playboy。 He is driven to his different meetings， and club visits by the company driver。 He talks to the diver， the whole time， but is unaware that the driver is a female， because he never allows a response from the driver。Reese is the driver for the Brandt family， and has grown a dislike for Nick， after hearing all about his party ways。 She just keeps quiet and does her job。Nick finally realizes that Reese is their driver， when he spots her at the annual party held by the Brandt’s， for their employees。 He apologizes profusely， but she ignores him。 This leads him to repeatedly attempt to apologize， with the same results。 Finally they gain an understanding between them， and they become friends。 Feelings begin to get involved， and a slow relationship develops， but Nick has several outside problems affecting his life。 The main problem is an obsessive ex-girlfriend， the secondary problem is a reporter， who appears to try to destroy Nick’s reputation。Reese has her own problems with a situation that has befallen on her sister， resulting in her having to care for her niece。 Nick attempts to make life easier for Reese and her situation， and this results in Nick and Reese falling in love。Several incidents occur， that causes Neck to separate himself from Reese， but an unexpected surprise causes him to return to Reese’s side。 They reunite， and through the help of family， they finally reach their HEA。I’ve read several books written by Nicole Snow， and always enjoy getting lost in her writings， they always have a great male hero， with a loving female， and some suspense to blend in the story。 The characters are always very well developed， and the story flows beautifully。 。。。more

Should she run him over or jump him。。。。what a dilemmaPerfect Grump is the third book in the "Grump" series and is the story of Reese and Nick Brandt， who is the brother of Ward， and his story is in the previous book。 This story had me laughing at times， blushing from the sizzling sexy passion and then enjoying the romance。 I will not lie as I did want to box Nick's ears on more than one occasion but eventually he got a clue and smartened up his act。 Reese is a young woman who is working hard but Should she run him over or jump him。。。。what a dilemmaPerfect Grump is the third book in the "Grump" series and is the story of Reese and Nick Brandt， who is the brother of Ward， and his story is in the previous book。 This story had me laughing at times， blushing from the sizzling sexy passion and then enjoying the romance。 I will not lie as I did want to box Nick's ears on more than one occasion but eventually he got a clue and smartened up his act。 Reese is a young woman who is working hard but enjoys what she does and was not a pushover， which I liked。 Overall this was an enjoyable book。 I received a copy of this book and am leaving my honest review。 My opinions are all my own。 。。。more

Sweet as cotton candy！I've read enemies-to-lovers stories before， but never one like this！ Reese and Nick get off to a very rocky start， which is followed by a disastrous evening that cements their incompatibility and nearly destroys their working relationship。 It's not until much later， when Reese is needing a helping hand， that Nick finally has the chance to redeem himself。My heart was breaking for these two wonderful people。 Despite the animosity and misunderstandings， neither was truly wrong Sweet as cotton candy！I've read enemies-to-lovers stories before， but never one like this！ Reese and Nick get off to a very rocky start， which is followed by a disastrous evening that cements their incompatibility and nearly destroys their working relationship。 It's not until much later， when Reese is needing a helping hand， that Nick finally has the chance to redeem himself。My heart was breaking for these two wonderful people。 Despite the animosity and misunderstandings， neither was truly wrong or set out to fuel the feud between them。 The author did a fabulous job of developing these characters and chauffeuring them through their various conflicts。 Once the romance takes off， my heart was in constant swoon for Reese and Nick。 They're so beautiful together， and each one really brings out the best in the other。 I loved the family connections on both sides， and I love the direction the author took the Brandt company with Nick。 It was wonderful to see Ward and Paige again， and I was thrilled to see them so integral to Nick and Reese's story。 I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves contemporary romances。 Nicole Snow's stories are the very best in billionaire romance and I highly recommend them all。 I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book。 。。。more

Perfectly entertaining grumpaliciousness with a squishy sweet heartPerfect Grump by Nicole Snow is a wonderfully well written romance and a perfect example of this author’s art form of creating likable broken billionaire bad boys and the amazing women who inspire them to change， heal and love。 Yet again， she has created a flawed alpha bosshole， Nick， who has blundered his way through life in the past， making mistakes and poor decisions that just won’t let him go or be forgotten。 Everyone makes m Perfectly entertaining grumpaliciousness with a squishy sweet heartPerfect Grump by Nicole Snow is a wonderfully well written romance and a perfect example of this author’s art form of creating likable broken billionaire bad boys and the amazing women who inspire them to change， heal and love。 Yet again， she has created a flawed alpha bosshole， Nick， who has blundered his way through life in the past， making mistakes and poor decisions that just won’t let him go or be forgotten。 Everyone makes mistakes seems to be the repeated theme for this book。 Nick is not the only one who makes mistakes and deserves a chance to set things right。Times change and so does Nick。 Enter Reese。 She is tough， strong willed， confident and personable。 As the featured couple in this book， Nick is totally the billionaire bad boy with flaws and on the path to do better and its mostly because of Reese。 If only he hadn’t blundered their meeting， first impression and “fake” date。 These two begin as employee-employer to reluctant， professional friends， then enemies and finally lovers。 For me， Nick is endearing and I can see how these two would be great together so the tension build up is utterly captivating and once that tension reaches the breaking point。 Reese does a good job resisting， but as Nick helps her over and over， without being asked， resistance becomes futile as feelings become engaged。 Nick and Reese smolder， burn， spontaneously combust all the while falling deeper， creating something meaningful and long-lasting。 The plots are so engaging too。 Nick’s past becomes present drama and at his own doing， kiboshes the only thing he ever wanted; forever with Reese。 Then there’s the massive undertaking of Reese’s sister’s arrest and caring for little Millie。 This little munchkin is beyond adorable and steals the scenes with laugh out loud antics at times。 Four year olds are very entertaining indeed！ While everything is getting resolved， heartbreak reigns。 Nick， in his alpha protector lizard brain way of thinking， lets Reese go to “save” her from the circus that is his life in the tabloid media spotlight。 Surprisingly， it’s all for nothing。 But！ Groveling Nick is super sweet and swoon-worthy in all his charming glory！！Overall， this final book of the series gives the reader and fans an extra special detailed HEA for all the wonderful characters and most especially Nick and Reese。 It’s spectacular and this reader/Nicole Snow fan absolutely loved it！I read an ARC of this book and voluntarily share my review。 。。。more

You know you are going to enjoy a story when the male character royally screws up bigtime。 Calling "dude" to someone who is obviously female and then not realizing the error for over a month takes the cake。 But then apologizing in one of the most drunken ways possible。。。 this enemies to lovers， slower burn story just has it all。 You know you are going to enjoy a story when the male character royally screws up bigtime。 Calling "dude" to someone who is obviously female and then not realizing the error for over a month takes the cake。 But then apologizing in one of the most drunken ways possible。。。 this enemies to lovers， slower burn story just has it all。 。。。more

Perfect Grump was a great story。 Nicole Snow did a wonderful job o the book， the plot was strong， it was written well。 Nick and Reese were strong characters， both were head strong， they're path may have had it's ups and downs but they were meant for each other， they were drawn to one another， their chemistry was off the charts。 I enjoyed Reese and Nick's journey， it was a bit of a rollercoaster but they were good together。 I'd suggest reading this story， it was great。Thank you， Nicole Snow。 Wond Perfect Grump was a great story。 Nicole Snow did a wonderful job o the book， the plot was strong， it was written well。 Nick and Reese were strong characters， both were head strong， they're path may have had it's ups and downs but they were meant for each other， they were drawn to one another， their chemistry was off the charts。 I enjoyed Reese and Nick's journey， it was a bit of a rollercoaster but they were good together。 I'd suggest reading this story， it was great。Thank you， Nicole Snow。 Wonderful work :）5 Stars！ 。。。more
