When GRUMPY
Met SUNSHINE

When grumpy ex-footballer Alfie Harding gets badgered into selling his memoirs, he knows he’s never going to be able to write them. He hates revealing a single thing about himself, is allergic to most emotions, and can’t imagine doing a good job of putting pen to paper.

And so in walks curvy, cheery, cute-as-hell ghostwriter Mabel Willicker, who knows just how to sunshine and sass her way into getting every little detail out of Alfie. They banter and bicker their way to writing his life story, both of them sure they’ll never be anything other than at odds.

But after their business arrangement is mistaken for a budding romance, the pair have to pretend to be an item to satisfy a public ravenous for more of this Cinderella story. And now they have to decide: is their fake relationship all for show or something so real it might just give them their fairy-tale ending?

Review on Captivated

This is a fantastic short story collection. Each vignette is a little peek into a lusty moment and should be savored. Stein’s writing voice is unmistakable and outstanding.

Review on Captivated

A wonderful collection that was a pleasure to read. Sexy, sweet and sweaty (in a good way). One gem broke my heart, which I was not expecting. Charlotte Stein has a unique voice and it shines in these stories. I’ve always loved stories because of their immediacy and not having to tell the entire tale, just a satisfying snapshot. The reader gets to fill in the befores and afters.

Review on Pleasure Keeper

This is a collection of short stories by Charlotte Stein. I haven’t read any of them before this, but I finished them in a day because I couldn’t stop reading (yes I read them while I was at work, and no I’m not sorry). There is a gift that only a few authors have, that they can tell a story, and convey a lot of emotion in a much shorter format than most other authors.
