Love at First Spite by Anna E. Collins
3.0

It was cute but I didn’t feel the swoon-y feeling that I do with other rom-coms.

Dani’s wedding is called off when she finds out that her fiancé was cheating on her with their realtor. So she decides to buy an empty lot, build a vacation home, and call it the Spite House. Everything about the building will piss her ex off.

Wyatt is a co-worker who agrees to help with the build (not as a job related build because ethical flags are flying). And they fall in love.

Their banter was cute, the spice scenes were enjoyable (definitely not too much & borderline smut) and of course something happens that causes a misunderstanding that is later resolved with Wyatt helping save the day!

I felt that the resolution was too quick and sort of unrealistic. Cute book, but I wasn’t feeling the giddiness that I do with some stories.
