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 (Synopsis from Goodreads)

My Thoughts: This gets a thumbs up from me. I love books like this. Cute rom-coms filled with romantic tensions and unexpected situations. Books like this are my candy.

Dani is not someone you want to mess with, that's for sure. Her ex totally deserved her revenge plot though, he's a real jerk. Dani has a lot of anger in her heart when it comes to him, and maybe being so close to him in location isn't the best idea. It isn't helping her to focus on her life.

Wyatt is the grump who ends up saving the day. I really liked Dani and Wyatt's path to love. It was a good time to watch. I love those romance stories where they start off irritating one another, and it eventually grows into something more.

I had a good time with Love at First Spite. I liked the characters, I liked the humor, I liked the love. It didn't disappoint. I can't wait to see what this author comes out with next.
