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.
Rating: 5 stars
Review: Gossip gives me hives, so I was a bit skeptical that this would be a 5-star read for me. How silly of me to worry, though. I momentarily forgot that everything Pippa writes is rom-com gold. I don't know how she does it, but I envy Pippa's ability to weave a captivating story while also making the reader snort-laugh throughout.
This is book 2 in the Three BFFs and a Wedding series, and it picks up the story that began with Theo and Laney in book 1. Some readers have said that this one can be read as a standalone without reading the first book, and while I agree, you would be well-served to read that one first. It's a great story, and you'll understand a lot more about how Sabrina and Grey have gotten where they are when this book begins.
Once the story takes off, it's a wild, fun ride with Sabrina and Grey as they battle it out toward their ultimate HEA. I won't spoil anything and tell you how they get there, but rest assured, you'll have a blast reading (or listening) to their story as they do.
Pippa readers know that an animal usually steals the show, and this book is no different. While I liked Sabrina and Grey just fine and was most definitely rooting for their HEA, I ADORED Jitter, Sabrina's Saint Bernard puppy who is the best boy in the whole wide world (you gotta read that part in puppy mama voice).
Again, if you haven't read the first book in this series, start there for full enjoyment. If you like rom-coms, don't miss out on this book and this series.
