Perfect Grump

The witty banter really made the story fun, but I wondered if it also downplayed some of the emotional stakes. Did the humor work for others in balancing the romance?

The contrast between his grumpiness and his genuine kindness was so well done. I'm curious what inspired this character archetype in Nicole Snow's writing.

The transition from rivals to lovers happened quickly in some parts, but it also kept the story lively. What did others think about the pacing of their relationship development?
