Gabe Gatlin hates Christmas. Actually, he hates the whole season from Thanksgiving until New Year’s. It’s no wonder. His sister’s holiday plans are always torture for him. Dani Latham doesn’t trust men. It’s no wonder. When she was 16 her professor seduced her, got her pregnant, then told her he was married with three children, and threatened her if she didn’t terminate the pregnancy. Guiding the Grouch by Shanna Hatfield brings these two people together in Summer Creek, a small town in Oregon. Dani ended up there by default, and the town embraced her as one of their own. Gabe, the billionaire owner of Daniels Realty, went to Summer Creek to find out about a property the company owned and maintained, and nobody knew why.
Guiding the Grouch: Summer Creek Book 5 by Shanna Hatfield is a heartwarming story of two people, one who loves Christmas and the other who hates it. The effect Dani has on Gabe starts making him less of a grouch almost immediately. Dani has no idea who Gabe really is, believing him to be simply an employee of the real estate company. Will she be upset when he tells her the truth, or worse, if she finds out from someone else? I really enjoyed this book and was rooting for Dani and Gabe the whole time. The book includes some bonuses: a recipe, a reader’s guide, and a preview of another book. This would be an excellent Christmas present for any romance novel lover on your list, including yourself.
