Meet hotshot sports agent Cole Bennett, the only one of the Billion Dollar Bennett brothers to walk down the aisle. But when he gets there, he gets jilted at the altar, which leads to him returning to his hometown to lick his wounds.

Savannah is a gorgeous ray of sunshine and smart as a whip. But she’s in serious money trouble and quickly drowning. If she doesn’t cough up a huge amount of cash soon, the bank will foreclose on her family’s home.

Cole’s brother Rex asks Cole head up a huge construction project for him. He introduces a large tract of land with the idea that it could be a perfect baseball stadium… if Cole manages to get the locals to support it.

Rex saddles Cole with Savannah, who plays the sunshiney personal assistant to Cole’s grumpy boss persona. With Savannah’s help, they should sail through the hoops set for them by the city’s planning commission.

When Savannah trips with an armful of rolled blueprints, only Cole’s swift reaction saves her from falling and pulls her against his body. The kiss afterward is instinctual… but also stupid, reckless, and thoughtless. So why does it feel so right?

Nothing steamy can happen between this surly boss and his brilliant assistant. Cole’s not planning on staying in town long. And Savannah’s such a good girl that she practically screams relationship material.

Cole and Savannah just have to make it through a few months of close contact without falling for each other. That should be easy enough… right?

If you like billionaire romance, grumpy sunshine plots, steamy scenes, small town girls, office liaisons, slow burn flirtations, or jilted groom flings, you will love this book.

🌩🌞🖤 “Hot boss with a grumpy outlook”!!! 🖤🌞🌩

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2024

For many years I’ve loved Author Vivian Woods’ writing and with THE GRUMPY BOSS AGREEMENT she’s nailed the grumpy-sunshine trope and the sexy single father trope for those who love that as well. Throw in a sports aspect and there are many reasons that you want to be picking up this book to read it!

This is one amazing full on romance. Every sentence, every chapter just breathes romance and I loved it. Ms Wood is one of my original bad boy authors and she’s written some great dark edgy romances so with THE GRUMPY BOSS AGREEMENT with the above tropes along with a Boss-Employee aspect, she’s showing her versatility as an author.

Ms Wood captured Savannah’s loss of her mother in a heartbreakingly accurate way. The feeling of inadequacy in living in the large gracious shadow of a well-known, highly accomplished and respected woman was tough. Her feeling of being so young, not reaching her adult potential hit deep, and this part about not being taught to deal with heavy negative emotions that are experienced as an adult was profound, “The things I have bottled up inside are not the kind of things you say to a celebrated woman, much less to a grassy patch of ground that is all that’s left of her. I want to say things like the fact that she taught me to control my emotions, but not how to safely express them. I can’t find a release valve because my mom didn’t help me build one into the vault of my emotions. She never got to see me as a full, healthy adult. In that regard, she let me down.” Seriously, I cried😭 This scene resonated intensely with me because while my mum got to see me as an adult into my 30’s, our children were so young when the cancer got her that she never saw me or my brother as parents, and we never got to see her as a Gran. Having the kids grow into adults themselves is an amazing experience, and one that she’s missed out on. What would she think of her Grandchildren?

How Cole managed to turn out so stoic and grumpy with a family such as his was a feat in itself, but I envisaged that he was a deep thinking boy who experienced the world through serious eyes. He felt the loss of his mother keenly and was betrayed when brothers became a blended family with a woman his father met not long after. He was that little beast of a child who made things difficult for all. His almost wife was a total piece of work, but as a father, brother and son, I loved Cole’s character damaged character completely. My favourite scene of him with his father and brothers was on the boat near the end. It was poignant and funny, and was just pure reading gold. Annnnnnnd, again I cried 😭

The watershed moment of truth for Cole and Sav was absolutely full of perfect and pure romance containing so much that was special to them, flawlessly capturing their individual characters and relationship and there I was crying one more time before the end. THE GRUMPY BOSS AGREEMENT had alllllllllll the feels!

I’ll finish up by saying that secondary players really put meat on the bones of a book and as such Cole’s entire blended family build a strong hulking story around him and Savannah that I loved. Both of them had the loss of loved ones in their past, yet dealt with them differently, and in the same way that Cole’s family backed him, so did Sav’s sister and grandfather support her. What a pleasure it was to see them both have great family relationships and I’m rapt that Ms Wood has ‘Book 1’ in the title. They’re hilarious and real, and I’m looking forward to reading more. 5-full-on-romance-Stars 🖤🌞🌩

I really enjoyed this book. It’s the first one in a new series by this author and it doesn’t disappoint.. I do love it when you can get lost in a book and that’s exactly what happens. This is Sav and Cole’s series.. After previously meeting one night months ago they meet again when he comes back to town. We find out her is moving back for awhile and helping his brother re-generate the small town. Sav ends up working for him and that’s where the fun starts. Cole’s grumpiness , his desire for her but his desire not to get involved with anyone starts to wane with Sav as she is always sunshine and roses even when she doesn’t feel like it but his constant to-ing and fro-ing had me as confused as she was and I just wanted him to man up, give in and say to heck to everything .
I’m excited to read more about this family and small town …

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2024

I am giving this a 3.5. This is my first Vivian Wood book, and it was a cute one about Savannah (sunshine) and Cole (grump) in the book. They are cute in their fighting their attraction for one another especially since Savannah works for Cole as his assistant. Savannah was an interesting read as she is always the sunshine person even though at times, she is forcing herself to be that person because of how her mother influenced her at times. It was actually a little sad to read at times that she has to force herself to be that way all the time because of these expectations.

Cole was also interesting in reading as he is struggling to be a dad, fighting his attraction for savannah and trying to move on with his life. I will say at times his privilege shows and the comments he makes about her small town were annoying. But I did enjoy their relationship journey and seeing them fight their attraction and also butting heads when she had to put him in his place. I also enjoyed reading the parts with Cole's son and parents.

there were some spicy, funny and witty moments that made this an enjoyable read.

this book is about Cole who is putting his life back together after being left at the alter by his long time GF and the mother of his child. Needing a change of pace, he packs up his son to take him back to his parents' house to regroup while he plans their next move possibly in another country. However, his brother has decided that the nearby small town is the next place for his next business adventure, and he wants Cole in charge and spearheading the project. However, the thing is Cole is not the most personable guy so Savannah a friend of his sister and local is hired as his assistant to help him navigate the people of this town. However, he is not able to keep his mind on this project or on his possible move overseas, instead all he can think about is Savhannah and how she makes him feel. But he doesn't want to cross that line of boss/assistant and after what his EX put him through, he has put himself on a no relationship/spicy hiatus for a year. So instead, they keep butting heads and fighting this attraction until things come to a bang.
