SHE'S NEVER BEEN KISSED. HE'S NEVER FELT THIS WAY ABOUT ANYONE.

Paige has ticked off everything on her senior year bucket list except one tiny thing — she's never kissed anyone. And her best friend, Grayson Darling, is to blame.

Grayson is the school hockey team's notorious enforcer, and he's been scaring away any eligible bachelors that so much as look in Paige's direction. With time running out, she demands that Grayson stop defending her honour. Instead, he'll become her dating coach, training her to win the guy of her dreams.

But Grayson has plans of his own. He's been in love with Paige since they were kids, and his clock is running, too. Coaching Paige might be his last chance to show her how good they'd be together. After all, practice makes perfect.

Alexandra Moody's BookTok sensation continues with Darling Devils #2: Grumpy Darling — perfect for fans of Hannah Grace, clean and wholesome low spice romance, and slow-burn fire on the ice!

Readers are DESPERATE for Grumpy Darling after reading Book 1 in the series, Rival Darling!
