The last thing I need is to be trapped in a snowstorm with a pretty girl who can barely stand me … while I’m wearing an elf costume.
The elf thing started at birth, since my parents portray Santa and Mrs. Claus for our family business every year. You could say being an elf is in my DNA, and everyone in our small town knows me that way.
Except, I’m so tired of it.
I mean, did my mom really have to give me the elf name of Elfie Tinselbottom? Not terribly masculine, if you ask me.
To make matters worse, my very existence seems to piss off the newest elf—a gorgeous girl named Lydia who’s just moved to Arcadian Falls. She’s as sunshiny and filled with Christmas cheer as everyone else—except when she’s with me. I seem to make her as frosty as an icicle.
But an off-site party and a snowstorm traps us alone at the event space. How are we going to survive a whole night stuck together?
Will I be able to break through the cold exterior she keeps up only around me? Or will I be doomed to be Santa’s grumpiest elf forever?
The Grumpiest Elf is a low angst Christmas rom com featuring a grumpy elf who just wants to be a normal guy and the new girl who cures him of his Grinchy ways. Light and fun and full of all the holiday feels!

Dylan is the grump of the story he works at his family business as an elf and hates it. The family hires a new employee and it’s Lydia who is the complete opposite of Dylan, she’s happy and in the Christmas spirit mood. They had a rocky start, but they were able to find their way and apologize for the misunderstandings that happened. This is a good book to get into for this holiday spirit.
