He’s the last man I should’ve picked for a one night stand…
See that guy over there? The insanely tall, broad-shouldered, dark-haired, scowling, “I don’t drink coffee” suit?
Surprise! He’s the new owner of my family’s mountain café.
The café that has been my life purpose since I was born in the kitchen there almost thirty years ago.
The café that he’s planning to completely gut and renovate for revenge against my family.
He’s also the funny, charming, irresistible guy I spilled all of my secrets to last week.
During the hottest one-night stand of my life.
As my dog would say, woof me.
Secrets and gossip keep getting me in trouble, and I swore I was done with both, but now my family’s café is on the line.
It’s time to use every last trick I know to uncover every secret this man is hiding.
I don’t care how much I liked him our first night together, or how much I keep seeing glimpses of that man beneath his gruff exterior.
One of us has to go.
It won’t be me.
The Gossip & The Grump is a one night stand to enemies to lovers romcom featuring a woman desperately trying to unlearn everything she knows about everyone, a grumpy misfit hiding a secret heart of gold, an unfortunate incident with powdered cheese, and the world’s biggest lap puppy. It stands alone, but you wouldn’t go wrong to read The Worst Wedding Date first.
Sabrina was so much fun in Laney and Theo’s book, I knew her story would be good and it was great. She’s a sometimes-reformed gossip who’s traumatized from playing an inadvertent role in her BFF’s wedding implosion. Sabrina blames herself for her friend’s heartache and sets out to do good deeds to balance her karma. In the midst of her acts of kindness mission, she meets a handsome stranger and they share a magical night together. For one more night, she can ignore the guilt and block out the knowledge that her worthless cousin Chandler sold the family business right out from under her and he isn’t even sorry about it.
It was fun while it lasted but when it’s time to get back to non-vacation life, Sabrina has no regrets about her vacation fling. In fact, she’s glad she did it. Until she walks into her family’s former café to meet the new owner and he’s her hot Hawaii one-night stand. Who bought her family’s legacy and he’s going to turn it into a kombucha brewery or something. Suddenly, they’re enemies. There’s no other option and this is war.
Grey and Sabrina’s story is funny and heartfelt and super slow-burn and I loved every minute of it. I’d like to thank the author and Give Me Books for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This is on my list as well. Glad you liked it. Loved your thoughts on it.
I just commented on your post, lol
