Blurb
A runaway bride. A grumpy bookseller with a heart of gold. A friends-with-benefits deal doomed from the start.


Hideaway Harbor was supposed to be a quick detour—one cozy Christmas job, then I’d be back on the cruise ship, far from my powerful ex and the mess I left behind.

But thanks to a tiny mix-up, my “accommodation” is a storage room with a creaky daybed and no plumbing.

Enter my neighbor Fredrik: a broody bookstore owner with a decent bathroom and the social skills of a cactus.

He’s everything I shouldn’t want—grumpy, reclusive, and allergic to holiday cheer. Yet he keeps showing up for me. Saving me. Heating up the sauna...

And suddenly, we’re tangled in something neither of us is ready for.

We’re just friends. With excellent benefits. Until the lines blur.

I should keep running, but this small town is starting to feel like home.

And Fredrik... he might be the reason I finally stay.



The Holiday Grump is part of the Christmas at Hideaway Harbor series of six spicy romantic comedies. The books are interconnected standalones and can be read in any order.



Noelle's running from her wedding and has landed in the small town of Hideaway Harbor, where they love Christmas. She does too, so it's perfect she's landed a temp job managing a pop-up Christmas store. She never expected to meet a grumpy, adorable bookseller who has the heart of a teddy bear inside his grinchy, nerdy professor vibe giving facade. When Frederik proposes a temporary fwb arrangement, who is she to say no? She wants him and his elbow patches, and can have him, while she's in town. She'll just need to make sure she doesn't give him her heart along the way.


Frederik's been frozen in a wall of grief and guilt since his wife passed. He's become the town grump that no one talks to about his grief, but everyone watches over and is concerned about. Then a sweet, no filter beauty named Noelle stumbles into the space next to his bookstore, and his heart starts beating again. But he can't seem to tell her how he feels, so a fwb arrangement is proposed. He's just hoping he can convince her to stay forever so he can show her how he really feels, show her she's not the person her fiancé gaslit her into believing she is.

Noelle and Frederik are my favorite Hideaway Harbor couple, by far! They make the cutest, sweetest, most adorable couple - he with his elbow patches and professor vibe and grumpy face just waiting for his adorable, no filter Noelle to come along and capture his heart. Gah, so stinkin cute! My holiday reading streak is so much better after having read this sweet couple. I wish a whole series would be written about them now.

Review: Waiting for You by Kate McBrien

Review of Waiting for You by Kate McBrien Justin and Lucy are apart, but for how long? Lucy's staying with her parents, but knows she needs to get out and start living her life again. But when she gets a chance to go to London, it just may be her chance to reunite with the man whose soul has been entwined with hers for centuries upon centuries. But first, our two fated lovers will have to not only reunite, but stay together, beat the odds and the people and/or forces who are trying to keep them apart. Waiting for You is a great followup to Discovering You. Justin and Lucy's story is exciting and passionate, and the mystical/fantasy/paranormal aspect just adds another interesting layer to their already wonderful connection. I normally don't read a lot of paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi romance anymore, but I loved it here in Waiting for You. It's subtle, but ever present and as I said, just makes their story all the more intriguing. I can't wait for the conclusio...
