Stuck with the Grumpy Bad Boy: A Small Town Best Friend’s Brother Sweet Romance (Aloha Ever After)
About
My best friend’s getting married in Maui.
But wait...her grumpy brother, aka my secret teenage crush,
is going to be there, tempting my heart all over again.
I left our beach town for a fast-paced career in NYC.
Glamorous, ambitious—until burnout hit hard.
So when my best friend’s wedding invite came,
I didn’t hesitate.
What I didn’t expect?
For her brother to pick me up.
Or for us to be sharing a house.
He’s still broody. Still ridiculously handsome.
Back then, he was a flirt with a new girlfriend every week.
Now, he runs his family’s pineapple farm with a quiet strength I never expected.
One cliff jump rescue, one breakfast in bed, and one slow dance...
I wonder—has he been hiding feelings too?
One kiss...and the best friend code is hanging by a thread.
What if I want the one guy I was never supposed to have?
Loving him risks our friendship and everything I’ve built in NYC.
But leaving might break me for good.
He’s the one risk I’m willing to take...
even if it changes everything.
Stuck with the Grumpy Bad Boy is a sweet, spark-filled escape with plenty of swoon, zero steam, and a heart-melting HEA. Each book in the Aloha Ever After series is a standalone, so you can dive in anytime and in any order. Get swept away to Makakoa, Maui, a dreamy, sun-drenched beach town where the surf’s up, hearts are full, and love always finds its way.
Praise for this book
Kai and Lea's story is the best summer read! With a setting in Hawaii, you can't go wrong! That's just the icing on the cake, though, because you get all the good summer vibes from Kai and Lea! ... I was crying, laughing, rejoicing, and just sitting with warm feelings of contentment. It was the best!!
Stuck with the Grumpy Bad Boy kept me reading until the wee hours of the morning. I just couldn’t put down this book. I loved the characters, the storyline, the setting, the drama, the unknowns, and the feelings in this wonderfully written story ... This story is filled with unexpected feelings, new experiences, changes, a wedding, and maybe a new romance.
I enjoyed this quick beach read. The characters were relatable & the pace felt realistic & not forced. I also liked how the story didn't just end when they got together but continued to show how they grew as a team.
This is a very enjoyable story and makes me want to go read the first book of the series, Stuck with My Enemy Protector.
