Comforting the Grump

Forestville Silver Foxes, Book 5

By: Nora Phoenix

Narrated by: Michael Dean

I don’t do emotions or romantic entanglements.

My life is simple: I work hard and I play hard, with anyone willing. I’m not discriminatory. And then I go home…alone.

Until my body decides to stop cooperating. Nothing is stirring anymore, and it scares me to death.

While navigating this issue, support comes from an unlikely source. Ennio, my best friend’s little brother, is sweet and sassy but also stubborn in his decision to be there for me. He’s the vibrant glittery sunshine to my grumpy black heart.

I don’t need him, of course, but I can’t deny it’s nice to have him around to comfort me. He has his own challenges to deal with, and somehow, we become friends. With excellent benefits.

But I’m not the right man for him. I’m too old, too dark, too set in my ways, Right?

Comforting the Grump is a small town, age gap MM romance in which the grumpiest grump falls for his best friend’s sunshiny little brother. This gay romance novel is the fifth book in the Forestville Silver Foxes series, a contemporary small town MM romance series featuring hot silver foxes and the men who fall in love with them. Each book can be listened to as a standalone.

My MOM and I Love it

Nakita Thomas I love Comforting the Grump from the start, because I have the other series on my audible app. Thank you Riley for another good book.

The bond between friends as well as the caring of parents raising other peoples children

I did not find anything in this book that I disliked there are some segments of the book that kind of whip off in another way, but all in all it was a great book

I love this series!

I was waiting for this one. I also didn't want it to happen. I knew early on Marnin would be the last one, but I love these guys and didn't want the series to end.
This was such a good one! And I'm so glad he's calling him Dad. That conversation needed to happen decades ago :)
He and Inio are perfect for each other.
I kinda wish the series could go on with the second generation.

What a great story!

Such a tender story of how love makes all the difference. I wondered how this would go and was so glad not to have all the possible angst. Michael Dean did a fine job with narration. Can’t wait to listen to the series again!
