Synopsis

Falling in love is the ultimate payback in this delightful, breezy romcom about an interior designer who teams up with an enigmatic architect at her firm to get revenge on her ex the only way she knows how: by building a spite house next door

“Filled with sizzling chemistry and delicious revenge, Love at First Spite had me smiling from start to finish. This is one debut you don’t want to miss!” —Kate Bromley, author of Talk Bookish to Me

They say living well is the best revenge. But sometimes, spreading the misery seems a whole lot more satisfying. That’s interior designer Dani Porter’s justification for buying the vacant lot next to her ex-fiancé’s house…the house they were supposed to live in together, before he cheated on her with their Realtor. Dani plans to build a vacation rental that will a) mess with his view and his peace of mind and b) prove that Dani is not someone to be stepped on. Welcome to project Spite House.

That plan quickly becomes complicated when Dani is forced to team up with Wyatt Montego, the handsome, haughty architect at her firm, and the only person available to draw up blueprints. Wyatt is terse and stern, the kind of man who eats his sandwich with a knife and fork. But as they spend time together on- and off-site, Dani glimpses something deeper beneath that hard veneer, something surprising, vulnerable, and real. And the closer she gets to her goal, the more she wonders if winning revenge could mean losing something infinitely sweeter…

“Rollickingly, fast-paced… Fans of Emily Henry’s tales will enjoy Collins’ imaginative rom-com.” —Booklist

“Wyatt is the perfect grumpy romance hero with a heart of gold. An enemies-to-friends-to-lovers story that’s sure to delight rom-com fans.” —Kirkus Reviews

4 ⭐ The truth is that I had a great time with the audiobook, I think it made me enjoy it more. Dani is a super fun and honest character, and I found Wyatt to be a sweetheart (except for some scenes in which he seemed like a rather cold character to me). In general it keeps you hooked all the time sin......more

rep: love interest with Ménière's disease, lesbian side character Actual rating: 1.5 (lowered it after reviewing because I felt angry again). This title is highly misleading. Does the book have spite? Meh, sure, there’s some spite, mostly towards Dani’s ex, as you’d expect since he cheated on her.......more

Goodreads review by Shannon on October 04, 2021

3.5 This was a mixed bag for me. I loved the beginning where we meet Dani and her cousin Mia as they’re playing paintball on what was supposed to be Dani’s wedding day. The girl gang with her cousin and her spunky elderly landlady was amazing. But I wasn’t a huge fan of just how extreme Dani’s reveng......more
