Gravedigger: A Blue Collar Grumpy Sunshine Instalove Romance (Dirty Boys Do It Better Book 1) Kindle Edition
Brooding doesn't even begin to cut it.
Ex-soldier Clint ‘Gravedigger’ MacGregor is cool among the tombstones. Tilling the earth by hand, he’s King of Oaklawn and likes it that way. No annoying folks in his face, and plenty of solitude to muffle the PTSD noise upstairs. But once he spies a tousle-haired angel visiting a chunk of granite every Saturday, it’s time to rejoin the land of the living, stat. Here’s hoping his Sunshine doesn’t mind a little mud…
She’s been lost, but now she’s found.
The death of her twin has gutted Casey Rae Kent. Turning hermit, weekly plein-air grieving sessions are the sum of her social life. But a thwarted attack and subsequent rescue by a taciturn Viking lookalike have her shaking off the stupor. Is this spade-wielding hero a gift from the heavens? Can Mr. Badass and Brawny be her sweet salvation?
Two troubled souls, zapped by the lightning bolt to the heart. All’s fantastic until fate lobs more mega-grade grenades in their path.
Hell, who says love is easy?

About the author

It’s all Rhett and Scarlett’s fault.
(Talkin' the grand staircase scene, people.)
Stung by the literary lovebug at a tender young age, JC has been devouring steamy romantic fiction
ever since. Seriously… What could possibly be more delectable at the end of a rough day than a
big, bad, moody male brought to his alphalicious knees by a gorgeous, sassy-talking heroine?
Well, besides Tom Hardy showing up
shirtless on your doorstep with car trouble.
Penning “I wish” fantasies while slogging through the woefully Rhett-scarce world, JC invites readers to indulge in decadent escape through her foulmouthed and passion-saturated tales.
Uh. You did hear foulmouthed, right?

- Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2025I loved this story, I really got caught up in the characters. Always wanted them to be together. Story kept me keep reading did not want to put it kindle down!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2022Gravedigger by JC Jaye has been in my TBR pile for sometime. I’m so glad that I finally read it! I found the aspect of the Hero working in a cemetery to be unique and offered plenty of conflict opportunities. The slow burn between Casey and Clinton was fire! Clint’s dirty talking was on point! I’d have loved a bit more background on Casey’s life, but it isn’t really necessary for the story. Overall, I enjoyed this story and the fire between Casey and Gravedigger!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2022First, let me say I've been wanting to read this series for a long time. And finally, this one becomes free, so I scooped it up, eager to devour it. Now I'm a bit let down and glad I can save my money not buying the others.
While there were a few things I loved about this book, there were things I felt disappointed in. First, I LOVED the man himself. Big, sexy, dirty gentleman. Hell yeah. Love him playing hero and saving her. The sex scenes were steamy, even when it wasn't sex. If I could give 5 stars for those things, absolutely. And I love the setting. A boneyard and a dirty man cave .... Hell yes!
But then there were some issues. First, I hated her. Innocent, virgin, judgemental, shattered.... I'm all good for a broken MC but this girl was annoying. There was also the massive plot hole. Keep teasing that Gravedigger has an issue, but then never show it? That right there should have been the main conflict. Then there was the language. Not the dirty talk, that was hot. But the big "I'm educated and need fancy words" language that slipped through. If our MC had been the only one using them, fine. I'd just chalk it up to her being stuck up. But our caveman Clint dropped a couple. That didn't seem in character.
My final pet peeve, it's dual single POV. This story would have been better told in third person.
All in all, a fast easy read. I'm sure it will gets lots of 5 star reviews. Most readers will love it. I'm sad I didn't. I'm disappointed I don't think I want to read the rest. If you're looking for a poolside read to get you worked up, this is it. Just don't think too hard about it.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2024I do believe Clint MacGregor has blasted his way to the top of my favorite filthy-mouthed MC list one disgustingly erotic word at a time. This was an exceptional book full of sizzle, internal banter that gave me the 'squirmies, and loads of fun to read. The big galoot had me at page one, and Casey brought so many smiles as she wise-cracked her way into Gravedigger's life and heart. The author is a genius with her descriptions...they cracked me up, had me thinking I should take a cold shower, and left me craving the next round of the 'love language' relentlessly swirling inside Clint's brain and tumbling out of his beastly mouth.
A REALLY fun story. Oh, and anything VIKING has my panties...never mind.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2022I have to say I really liked this story about Grave-Digger “Clint” and Casey. Clint is an ex solider and has issues dealing with thinking he isn’t good enough for anyone. Casey is dealing with her twin having had died. Read and find out if they get together.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2021This book is by a brand new to me author. I'd not even heard of this author before I received her book, but decided that the blurb sounded interesting enough that I'd give it a chance! And I'm really glad I did. This story isn't your typical romance, the characters aren't your typical hero/heroine. What they are is real. Realistic characters, with realistic problems, realistic jobs. I found that I quite enjoyed that....
Casey Rae has just had her world turned upside down, suffering a tragedy no twin ever wants to experience. And her life just isn't the same. She doesn't know how to move forward, and her life is falling apart. A chance encounter at the most unlikely place helps her put things back into perspective, and take a chance on an unlikely hero!
Clint (Gravedigger) has struggled with the aftermath of war since he got out of the military. But he has found his own ways to cope, as unusual as that might be. And just when he has resigned himself to a life alone, Casey Rae catches his eye, and he just doesn't know what to do about it!
This book started out kinda stalkerish, kinda awkward (the characters, not the writing!) But really, that was just the characters. Clint is a real man, with real problems, not the polished hero we usually get in romance novels that seem to good to be true. And Casey Rae is the perfect woman for him. I enjoyed this story, and the imperfectly perfect connection between Casey Rae and her Gravedigger!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2022Casey, or Sunshine, is in mourning when her Viking in dirty armor comes charging into her life. Little did she know he was just what she needed to start living again.
Clint, or Gravedigger, is just a real man with real problems and just trying to mind his own business, going through the motions of life. Until he sees the girl who brings sunshine into his life.
What I really liked about this story, is how real life the characters are. Casey is so adorable and I love how awkward she can be. Clint struggles with PTSD and believing that he deserves something good in his life.
The steam is off the charts! There is an immediate attraction between Digger and Sunshine, that either of them can deny.
While they did take things slow, it didn’t stop all of the teasing and dirty talk.
Can’t wait to get to the other dirty boys in this series!

4.0 out of 5 stars Hot stuff!!
Prepare to have your panties melted off!
Casey, aka Sunshine, is visiting her twin sister's grave when she's attacked by a would-be rapist. Very fortunately for her, Clint, aka Gravedigger, looks forward to Casey's regular visits and just happens to be watching her that day.
Once they've officially met, these two can't stay away from each other! The sexual tension between them will have you turning the pages until the very end. If slow burns are your thing, this one's for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gravedigger
This was a bit of a slow burn, the plot of the story was excellent. Clint Military Veteran that likes his own company, Casey aka Sunshine is struggling with the loss of her Twin. But sparks fly when Clint comes to Casey rescue. Loved the fact that Clint looks tough he is still a Gentleman

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Friday Night Read ♥️
So this happened! I needed a quick, easy, super smutty Friday night read and Gravedigger fit the bill quite nicely. Clint is a tall glass of dirty talking, alpha, viking male. He’s a gravedigger by day, slob by night, but you’re going to love him anyways. Casey a.k.a Sunshine is a sweet, sassy, driven woman. Once she sets her sights on Clint she goes balls (his) to the wall to bring her dream man, Thor lookalike, to heel. This book was hot, sexy, sweet, with an element of suspense. Gravedigger gets the judy.ann.loves.books stamp of approval. TBR and Enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dirty, funny, filthy, adorable
I saw this recommended in social media and or did not disappoint. It's a gorgeous love story between two heart broken cuties who find each other in a cemetery. Which sounds weirder than it is.
The hero is stunningly foul mouthed in the best possible way (do not lend this book to your maiden great aunt) and the heroine is a quirky, loveable, intelligent computer nerd.
The book loses half a star because as a Brit, the conversational way it's written had me wondering what the devil are the talking about. There's a lot of slang which after a while got a bit annoying and I suspect non US readers and ESL readers may scratch their heads a few time trying to figure out what Gravedigger and Sunshine are talking about.
The story is full of pure love, pure filth and pure steam. Gravedigger is high quality book boyfriend material and Sunshine is a great heroine.
4.5/5

5.0 out of 5 stars Gravedigger
Really enjoyed this story, sweet and funny. A hunky, muddy hero with a funny inner monologue full of dirty thoughts. Casey was a good character too, funny and horny with her attempts to get Clint to give in to temptation.
