The Spite Date

A Single Dad Romcom

By: Pippa Grant

Narrated by: Will Watt, Callie Dalton

From USA Today and #1 Amazon Bestselling author Pippa Grant comes a hilarious romcom about an unforgettable revenge date between a famous British single dad and a small-town girl who had to grow up too fast…

I might be the only person not obsessed with Simon Luckwood, Hollywood's hottest leading man and the newest part-time resident of my little hometown.

I don’t trust the way he’s always smiling. No one smiles that much.

And I’m clearly missing something, because I don’t get why the character Simon played on his weird hit TV show is so popular.

But revenge is a dish best served cold, just like the dishes on the menu at the restaurant my ex stole from me. So, when Simon feels guilty enough about his twin teenage boys accidentally getting me arrested that he wants to take me out on an apology date?

I see a perfect opportunity to get mine.

One night, one date, one very loud public scene at my ex’s grand opening, and then I can wash my hands of men forever.

That’s exactly how it has to go. Because my life can’t handle one more plot twist…

The Spite Date is a hilariously fun single dad romance featuring a golden retriever celebrity who needs to get out of his own way, a woman trying to live her best life even if she’s not sure exactly how to do that, and a series of plans gone very, very wrong. It stands alone and comes with a sweetly satisfying happily ever after.

Tropes include single dad, small town, revenge date, summer fling, found family, she raised her siblings, and opposites attract.

New Series

Today I finished reading/listening to this story. My favorite character was Hudson. Nice to see a new series with one of my favorite authors. Enjoyed the journey of Bea and Simon.

Bea & Simon

I loved every single minute of this fake relationship romance. I laughed so much listening to this book. Bea & Simon are perfect for each other. Two opposites with an undeniable attraction that just click. Simon gives Bea the love and support she’s been missing, and she brings out the joy and softness he’s been burying for years. Their chemistry is undeniable, but it was the way they healed each other that really hit me. Callie Dalton & Will Watt are remarkable bringing the characters to life. You could hear how much heart they put into their performance as they captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. They are entertaining storytellers, and their captivating performance keeps you enthralled from beginning to end.

Great start to a new series

Will Watt yes please! The entire audio is incredible but to have Will begin this series is the perfect choice for Simon. Callie Dalton is a classic choice as always and does not disappoint as Bea. This is a great story and each family member makes you fall in love with every one of them. I can’t wait to the rest of the series but I know this one will be a fave bc Simon is swoony and unforgettable.

Loved it

This was an entertaining book that ticked all the boxes for me. This is single dad to twin boys, Simon Luckwood and Beatrice “Bea” Best’s story and what a wonderful story it was.

I love stories set in small towns, the characters are often quirky which adds a layer to the story. This book was a witty, romantic, at times emotional , a little angsty and entertaining story.

From the first to the last chapter, I was taken on a journey that was entertaining with characters who you cannot help but cheer on.

Absolutely Delightful!

The love story is a refreshing, new perspective. I don't remember any book making me laugh out loud until my stomach hurts. There are great secondary characters to add to the fun. Pippa Grant, you are absolutely delightful!
