Über diesen Titel
Tilda
I have a new house. Well, new to me. Just like living in my own place on the top of a mountain, rather than in a city apartment, is new to me. But it’s mine now because my Great Uncle Jack passed away, and he left me his freaking house. In Colorado. On the border of Lonely Peak State Park.
But that’s not all he did.
He also left a series of letters. A scavenger hunt of clues that leads me back to Vegas. To his lawyer’s office. To the reading of his will. Where I learn I must marry in order to keep my sudden inheritance out of the greedy hands of my family. And since they’re the worst, I only have one option.
Ask the grumpy park ranger I just met to be my husband.
Ethan
Jack never lied. Not outright. But he did omit some things. Like the fact that his grandkid Matty is actually a fully grown woman named Matilda. And the fact that she looks like a walking, talking mountain fairy with her long purple hair and a wardrobe of lust-inducing dresses.
He also failed to mention that he was setting us up. That he was setting all of this up. And now, when the woman I unwittingly agreed to watch out for stands before me, asking me to marry her, there’s only one answer I can give…

That said, Mountain Grump didn’t land quite as well for me as the first two books in the series. I usually love Tilly's books and most of them are 4-5 stars for me but sadly this one did not hit the mark.
Let’s start with what I liked:
Ethan is a very likable and layered MMC. Despite the title, I didn’t find him that grumpy—he’s intense, yes, but the grumpiness is more situational, mostly when he’s on the job. The story took a surprising turn midway that I didn’t expect, and I appreciated that each book in the series feels fresh and different, even though the FMCs have some common traits.
Now for what didn’t work:
1️⃣ Too many short chapters. Hearing “Chapter 121… Chapter 122…” mid-spice scene (or any other intense scenes) breaks immersion and kills the mood. This format continues to be very frustrating.
2️⃣ Tilda’s character arc felt inconsistent. She’s introduced as a shy, clumsy, anxious woman with lots of insecurities, who can’t survive ten minutes outdoors—yet she suddenly transforms into a dominant praise (Good Boy)-kink alpha female? It felt forced and out of sync with her earlier portrayal. “Good boy.” This line during an intimate scene was cringe. And Ethan being all of a sudden submissive! It didn’t fit the moment or the dynamic.
3️⃣ Not much really happens. Most of the book is Tilda hanging out with a duck at the cabin, unpacking boxes, and overthinking. No ambitions, no friends in her life. Considering that she is a 30 year old woman, it was actually sad to see no character development. Ethan on the other hand surprises with his many talents and jobs. He goes to work, but we don’t see much of it. The only actions are a short emergency landing and a wilderness trip. And the rescue from Tilda's evil family.
No connection to the rest of the series! Tilda doesn’t interact with anyone outside of Ethan. She has no friends, no support system—it made the story feel isolated and flat.
4️⃣ Only 1,5 very short cameos from previous characters.
5️⃣ Over-descriptive writing. Every small action and background is described in detail, which dragged the pacing and made the book feel longer than necessary.
6️⃣ Terms of endearment were overused. “Starlight” was sweet at first, but got repetitive fast. And the constant use of “husband” and “wife” in nearly every scene—especially during spice—crossed into unintentionally funny. “I’m coming husband.” 😂
7️⃣ The third-act breakup felt unnecessary and hypocritical from Tilda. Her jumping to conclusions and not even giving Ethan a chance to explain felt unfair—especially after everything he’d done to show her he was all in.
Overall, the narration kept me going, but the story just didn’t deliver the same emotional pull or romantic payoff as the previous two. The spice fell flat, and Tilda wasn’t a strong FMC for me. Ethan, on the other hand, was a solid MMC—he deserved better.
A+ narration kept me going, although...
