Roasted & Toasted

2021

Roasted coffee beans! Barry ‘Grizz’ Griswold finds himself in love with Mountain Lakes’ newest business owner. He might have a grizzly outer shell but when it comes to Jaqueline ‘Jackie’ Mendoza, he finds that he’s nothing but a gentle softie. He can’t stay away from her coffee shop and is even chugging down the sweet, blended concoctions she whips up for him. Toasted and in over her head! Jackie has a crush on the tatted giant. Who is she kidding? She’s in head over heels about the guy. Growing up with people who never cared about her, she didn’t think love would ever be in the cards, and she learned early on not to wish for fairy tales and only go after things you can make happen on your own. After having front seat tickets to watching his two buddies fall hard for their women, Grizz knows it’s high time to make a move. Question is, will Jackie let herself fall?
