Title: The Grumpiest Fireman Next Door
Author: Maggie Blume
Date: 2025
Quote: "I'm not even supposed to be here...inches from colliding with the rear bumper of a fire engine."
Luke, whose name apparently flashes into Emilia's mind before he's told her it, has reasons not to fall in love with Emilia the minute she steps out of her car and admits she's been distracted while driving. It takes a few days. But this is a sweet romance with some kissing, so you know how it's going to end.
It's a short, cute, wholesome small-town romance with not room for much beyond the progress of the couple's attraction to each other. They have time for her to decide to stay in the small town and get to know him.
Maggie Blume's e-mail about a new romance in her "The Grumpiest" series caught me during a phase of resolution to cope with the e-mail. I agreed to read an advance reader's copy of the book that's due to launch next week. The advance readers' copies ran out before I got to the e-mail with the link to open mine. No worries. I expect they're all more or less alike. If you can forgive the misuse of "grumpy" to mean "polite, even when the person has reasons not to be, but not instantly infatuated with Wonderful Me," the series should be nice stories about nice, reasonably cautious, levelheaded people finding each other.
