The Mistletoe Kisser

By: Lucy Score

Narrated by: Lila Winters

“Just because I don’t run around with a stupid grin on my face all day every day doesn’t mean I’m grumpy.”

Ryan Sosa, grumpy former corporate accountant, has had it up to here with surprises. He didn’t see getting fired coming. And he certainly didn’t anticipate flying across the country to the world’s hippie-est, happiest, most annoying town to save his great-uncle from some mysterious emergency.

Not only is there actual snow on the ground, it also appears that elves on psychedelics have decked Blue Moon’s halls. But he doesn’t have time to be snarky about the impending Winter Solstice and Multicultural Holiday Celebration—whatever the hell that is. Not when he’s got a farm to save, a free-range sheep that he may or may not have nudged with his stupid microscopic rental car, and some small-town veterinarian telling him she can’t take the animal off his hands.

Dr. Sammy Ames has a practice to manage and a fundraising crisis to attend to. She doesn’t have time to deal with a big-city grouch who doesn’t remember being her first kiss ever. Especially not since he wants to dump a sheep named Stan on her. So not happening. No matter how cute—and pantless—Ryan is when he’s drunk.

Besides, as soon as he solves his uncle’s problem, he’ll be on the first flight out of Blue Moon, never to return again.

It will take a Winter Solstice Miracle or perhaps some matchmaking interference from the Beautification Committee to get these two to see eye-to-eye under the mistletoe…unless he’s the wrong Ryan after all.

Wonderful finale for the blue moon series

Really enjoyed the entire series, it was fun to see characters develop, and evolve over the course of the eight books. Hoping that there are more in the future or that Lucy has another series that holes at the heart strings just as much as the blue moon series did.

Grumpy Sunshine ☀️

Loved it. Funny, laugh out loud, grumpy shine, small town rom com. I really enjoy Lucy Score books and this one was a good fun read.

Good Score

Possible Spoilers:
More Blue Moon madness with the Beautification Committee playing matchmaker to its quirky citizens.
Almost 15 years ago, Samantha Ames received her first kiss in the Mistletoe Grotto during the Solstice Festival. Ryan Shufflebottom was briefly in town to visit Great Uncle Carson Shufflebottom with his mother.
Years later, Carson calls his family with an emergency but when Ryan arrives, he is out of town. Ryan flew in from Seattle while still trying to recover from being fired by his accounting firm after a client’s embezzlement was exposed. He’s still emotionally reeling from having his life and all his plans detonated. Then this grump keeps being thrown into contact with veterinarian Sammy Ames and the townspeople of Blue Moon who keep chipping away at his loneliness and isolation. It isn’t long before he sees how wonderful Sammy is and how she’s always doing for others at her own expense. It isn’t long before Ryan is expressing his Love Language of Doing for Sammy. They just have to get past the Beautification Committee and that he’s Ryan Sosa, Carson’s nephew, but not the Ryan who gave Sammy her first kiss. Kudos to Stan/Edgar for his performance.
Winters was just ok as narrator. I strongly urge more practicing before recording again.

Every town needs a grump…..

I have binged this series in a week and OMGOSH…… this is my favourite of them all!!! I love a grumpy/sunshine book but this one was extra special. I love all the characters in this little hippie town and all the animals that have shown up in each book! Lucy Score makes me cry, laugh and swoon in all of her books! 🩷
I’m also a HUGE fan of Lila Winters narrating, she brings this grumpy / sunshine to life!! I’m going to go listen again… right now!! Haha

Voices are perfect

Loved all of it. Story line was great. One of my favorite books of all. …………….
