Perfect for you if...

You love slow-burn romance where the chemistry builds through banter and shared history rather than insta-attraction.
You're after wholesome YA that doesn't shy away from genuine tension and steam without losing its heart.
You're a BookTok romance reader who appreciates a grumpy-protective love interest with real depth beneath the brooding.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced romance where feelings are declared early and the plot moves beyond the central couple's dynamic.
You want darker or edgier content; this is fundamentally sweet and emotionally safe.
You're not interested in sports settings or hockey culture as a backdrop for the story.

About this book

Grumpy Darling is the second book in the Darling Devils series. Paige has completed nearly everything on her senior year bucket list except one: she's never been kissed. Her best friend Grayson Darling, the school hockey team's enforcer, has been scaring away potential romantic interests. When Paige demands he stop, she proposes an alternative: he becomes her dating coach to help her win the person of her dreams. Grayson agrees, but he has his own agenda. He has been in love with Paige since childhood, and coaching her represents his last opportunity to show her they could be good together. The story follows their slow-burn dynamic as they navigate romance, hockey, and first kisses.
