Grumpy Sunshine

Content Advisory, Book 1

By: Lani Lynn Vale

Narrated by: Raven Rose, Gideon Frost

The first day that she walked onto the surgical floor that Chevy Clayborne spent most of his time on, he knew that he’d do anything to make her his.

For two years, he played the long game.

He slowly insinuated himself into her life, and the moment that she needed him, he swooped in like the knight in shining armor that he only pretended to be but most assuredly wasn’t.

He’s no real knight.

In fact, he’s the villain in everyone’s story but his own.

He lives life the way he wants to live it, and damn anyone and anything that gets in his way.

He may appear like an upstanding anesthesiologist at work, but the moment he gets out of those scrubs and into his jeans, biker boots, and leather cut with the Truth Tellers emblem at his back, he morphs into his alter ego.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ain’t got nothin’ on him.

He’s been putting on a front for two years, and just when he has Aella Cowan right where he wants her, he closes down every possible avenue of escape.

He thinks he has a future fight on his hand, but Aella proves that she’s not quite as sheltered as Chevy thinks. She’s perfectly happy being the old lady of one of the scariest members of the Truth Tellers Motorcycle Club and couldn’t care less if he spends his nights doing questionable things to despicable people.

As long as she has breakfast with him every morning, what does she care how he spent his night?

Another AWESOME read from LLV!

I’ve read/listened to every single LLV book that’s been published. She’s one of the only authors that’s catches my attention in EVERY SINGLE book and this one was no different. The book published prior to this one lead me to believe Chevy’s story would go a certain way, but I was pleasantly surprised. I loved how he looks out for his “pretty baby” and how she comes out of her shell. It was a FANTASTIC read & as always, I can’t wait for the next one!

Chey and Aella

A remarkable introduction to a new series. This story was incredibly engaging and kept me captivated from the very first page. It was wildly fun and unexpected. Chevy and Aella are clearly two people who were meant to meet. They embark on a hypnotizing journey filled with suspense, thrill, chills and of course romance. There was a tangible pull between them from the beginning and I loved that they developed a deep bond before anything steamy happened between them. Lani Lynn Vale never ceases to amaze me. I cannot wait to meet the other Truth Tellers and see what escapades they take us on. Fantastic story.

Good book

I liked the store line the people I like how the Carters were brought into store. I like how this had a storyline and it wasn’t all about sex.

Loved it!!

What an amazing start to a new series! I loved this one so much! This book has everything you would expect in a LLV book! A bit of suspense, close knit families, and a great romance! I was hooked immediately and didn’t want to put it down! I got the audio so I didn’t have to! The narrators were great! They brought so much life to the characters! If you’re in the mood for a fast paced, motorcycle club, workplace romance look no further! Grumpy Sunshine is a must read!

Another A+++ story by LLV!

Loved the story line and the characters! Would recommend! Can't wait to read the rest of this series!

Great start to a new LLV series!

The main characters are interesting and likable and their relationship is non-traditional, but still believable. A few familiar characters from previous series showed up. Plus new side characters who I hope will be part of this series.

Side note: I am a nurse and usually avoid any fiction with medical professionals because it’s usually so unrealistic. LLV must have some medical professionals in her life because she always gets it right. Thank you!

Narration is also fantastic!

Great listen

Can’t wait for the next book in this title! I loved that you included past characters, such as Ford and Ash and little Chevy! 😃😀 plus the other families. Also glad things were cleared up about Chevy and his big brother’s ex. Thank you for the amazing stories you spin!!! 🥰

Adorable 💕💕💕

This was an adorable book. I liked that it wasn't love at first smexy. I really loved the strong FMC. So many books these days are written with weak and stupid FMC😡 and it's not very enjoyable. This FMC was also strong for the MMC, yet vulnerable towards him as well. I loved the MMC he was straightforward and protective. I loved how he looked out the FMC.
Was this worth my credit? YES!!! Can't wait for the next book 📖
Happy hearing/reading 😄

Narrators

Loved the story, HATED the narrators. they make or break a book. I think if I see this duo in future books I avoid the audiobook and just read it. the male narrator did NOT sound sexy or bada$$, he sounded constipated and very stiltled. its a shame because I listened to his regular speaking voice before purchasing and it was great... got the book and he was crap!

Amazing!

I’ve listened to for years! And this may be my favorite book yet! I can’t wait for the next one in the series! #booktokboyfriendgoals
