Taming the Grump: Book 1
By Ada Stuart
()
About this ebook
What do you do when an ill-mannered grump stands in the way of your best friend’s happiness?
Straight-laced Emmie has the perfect solution: Distraction, play dumb and a lot of fake support calls. Easy-peasy.
There’s only one downside: Emmie has to put herself directly in the line of the fire, making Jake turn his attention to the shy termagant ruining his day.
But what happens when Jake sees through her shenanigans and decides it’s payback time? Particularly when he turns his revenge into a sexual battle, leaving Emmie so hot and bothered that she can’t see straight.
Still, losing is never an option. Even if Emmie must step out of her comfort zone and use every dirty trick she can think of.
But in the end, will she be able to tame the beast – or will he tame her?

'Ada Stuart' is the pen name of a Scandinavian reader that has turned writer - since no one else seems to be writing what I like to read.I simply adore strong-willed heroines and stories with lots of sexy dialogue, so basically, that's what I write.It all started as a challenge from my husband – and that challenge has so far resulted in 50 novels and shorter stories, most of which can be found on Apple, Google, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords and Kobo under my pen name. So, feel free to stop by for more stories.You can find me at:Author homepage: https://adastuart.com/Amazon: I've recently been banned from this site due to the erotic content in my storiesApple Books: https://www.apple.com/apple-books/Barnes and Nobles: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/bought-ada-stuart/1136278200?ean=2940163454860Kobo Books: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/search?query=ada+stuartGoogle Play Books: https://play.google.com/store/books/author?id=Ada+StuartInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/authoradastuart/Interested in FREE stories?

A few words from the author
This story has a special place in my heart. I’ve always loved to write, but for many years, life simply got in the way. Then, in 2019, I decided to play a new computer game called ’Anno 1800’. I’ve always loved world-building games, and this one in particular. But in order to play, I had to buy a new laptop. So I did. But when it arrived, I discovered the game wouldn’t be released until one month later. Bad luck, eh?
So, while I waited, I decided to write a short story. Inspired by some personal experience working in the IT industry, I created the first version of this story and called it Seduction
. It was published chapter by chapter on Literotica, and I received many useful comments and a lot of praise. I also discovered another thing: How much I love to create stories.
Since then, I’ve continued writing and tried to improve, thanks to the enormous help from readers, editors and friends. Therefore, I want to dedicate this story to all of you who inspired me to keep doing what I enjoy the most.
And to those who dream of writing a story but haven’t started yet: Just give it a try. You never know if it will become your favourite hobby or a new way of living.
I still prefer writing over gaming. And I’m forever grateful to Ubisoft for not launching the ’Anno’-game sooner. Thanks, guys. I owe you one (or several, to be honest).
Take care,
Ada
