Love at First Spite by Anna E. Collins
3.5
funny lighthearted relaxing fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was a very cute book and a quick read. Even though I read the synopsis, I wasn't sure what I was getting into with this one, but I had a good time reading it. Wyatt and Dani were definitely a cute duo and I'm a sucker for a workplace romance. Dani's idea for the Spite House was a great one and every little thing she did to take it to the next level to get on her ex's nerves was hilarious. I'm always down for a little petty revenge scheme. Wyatt's explanation for why he was so standoffish, made sense, especially given what he experienced. I think, given their histories but also what they learned about one another, they should've given each other the benefit of the doubt. I'll be honest and say the conflict between then seemed a bit forced. I know emotions tend to run high, especially in romances, but Wyatt assuming Dani didn't want to be with him or was lying to him because of his vertigo when their first real emotional interaction had been centered around that had me puzzled. Like wise, Dani's bullheadedness when dealing with both Wyatt, the build, and her cousin also left me scratching my head a bit. Some of it, I guess I see the purpose of, but on the other hand it seemed thrown in just to add in more conflict. All in all, I enjoyed myself, which is always the goal.
