Can’t Wait Wednesday #71 – When Grumpy Met Sunshine by Charlotte Stein @Charlotte_Stein @stmartinspress #stmartinsgriffin

Can’t Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the Jill at Breaking the Spine. So let me introduce you my Can’t Wait Wednesday #71 pick! Click on the book’s cover to add it to your Goodreads shelf.

From The Publisher:

A steamy, opposites-attract romance with undeniable chemistry between a grumpy retired footballer and his fabulous and very sunshine-y ghostwriter.

When grumpy ex-footballer Alfie Harding gets badgered into selling his memoirs, he knows he’s never going to be able to write them. He hates revealing a single thing about himself, is allergic to most emotions, and can’t imagine doing a good job of putting pen to paper.

And so in walks curvy, cheery, cute as heck ghostwriter Mabel Willicker, who knows just how to sunshine and sass her way into getting every little detail out of Alfie. They banter and bicker their way to writing his life story, both of them sure they’ll never be anything other than at odds.

But after their business arrangement is mistaken for a budding romance, the pair have to pretend to be an item for a public who’s ravenous for more of this Cinderella story. Or at least, it feels like it’s pretend―until each slow burn step in their fake relationship sparks a heat neither can control. Now they just have to is this sizzling chemistry just for show? Or something so real it might just give them their fairytale ending?

Why I Can’t Wait To Read When Grumpy Met Sunshine:

I love a good opposite-attracts romance and enjoy books about the book writing process. Mabel sounds like a great character and I love books with lots of banter. Although the synopsis notes the book is steamy, I’m hoping it’s not too steamy (or I’ll simply skip those parts 😉).

Does this book sound like one you’d like to read? Or, have you been lucky enough to have already read it? Let me know in the comments!
