Resumen del Editor

I, Tillie Jean Rock, am not in love with my brother’s teammate.

Sure, he might have those biceps and that “I am the grouchiest of grouchy bears” smolder, and he might shovel snow off his driveway next door wearing nothing but boxer shorts and rubber boots, and he might be running a side business feeding all the stray goats in town, but studliness is only skin-deep.

And I might flirt with him every chance I get, but I swear it’s only to annoy my brother.

And him.

Because Max Cole?

Under all of those glorious muscles and chiseled cheekbones and searing glares beats the heart of a heartless devil.

I could no sooner fall in love with a guy who treats me like a kid, and judges me at every opportunity, and sets an army of garden gnomes loose on my yard, than I could fall in love with my grandfather’s pet parrot.

But I can definitely annoy him. I can 100 percent get on board with annoying him.

That’s what you do when you don’t like your neighbor, right?

But you know what they say about love and hate…

It’s a very thin line.

Especially when the real reason I’m not in love with Max Cole—that he’s incapable of love—might not be true at all.

The Grumpy Player Next Door is a fun-filled enemies-to-lovers romcom featuring a ray of sunshine on a mission, an athlete who’s only grouchy around her, and an epic prank gone wrong. It stands alone and comes complete with small-town shenanigans, a goat who’s not nearly as wise as his name suggests, and proof that sometimes, love is the best kind of vengeance.

Laugh out loud funny!

Great for listening while in the car, at work, shopping or anywhere! Can't beat a good Poppa book! 💞

Funny with amusing animals

Funny overall but does address a few personal issues that childhood can create.

Love the parrot !

Tillie Jean finally gets her happy!

Tillie Jean gets her happily ever after and we get more Shipwreck... everyone wins! Tillie and Max's story is a new favorite for sure. Pippa brings us back to Shipwreck to show us how a growly bear pitcher can fall in love with the princess of bright and sunny. Tillie Jean and her family remind us that we can't choose our family but they are always there to support us. Max's grumpy self learns that he's worthy of love despite his past. The antics in this book are exactly what we love in a Pippa book... cursing parrot, bleating goats and the best pranks.

Max made my heart hurt for him and his past which made him the growly bear that he is today. Once he started to show himself to Tillie Jean my heart was so super happy. He is definitely on my Mount Rushmore of Pippa men. This story was able to give us a deeper dive into the inner workings of Shipwreck and the characters that live there. As always I love being able to catch up with previous leading characters from the Fireballs. Now... please... can we have Cooper's book...

Sweet Romance!

This is the third book in the Copper Valley Fireballs Series, a Sports Romantic Comedy set in a Small Town. This is a great enemies-to-lovers romcom and brother's best friend romance. Tillie Jean (TJ) and Max's story is funny, sweet, and heartwarming. I liked the characters, and the humor. TJ's family is amazing. This is a sweet and beautifully written romance. Savannah Peachwood and Wen Ross did an amazing job with the narration. I enjoyed it.

Cooper City Fireballs

A slow burn Romcom that keeps readers laughing and in love. Pippa has a style of writing very similar to my other fave authors and this book lives upto the hype.
Full Of sexy, witty banter, flirtation and pranks, I love the opening Glitter Bomb drop and laughed loudly while walking around my neighbourhood.
Sexy swoony player moves next door to the off limits sister of fellow player and Max has his Pants and hands full of this svelte vixen - Tillie Jean. But brother Cooper has been like a family to max and he can't dip his wand in the family pool no matter how hard TJ flutters her eyelashes or sways her Ass at him
Hilarious situations and some OTT reactions are scattered throughout.
Nice job Pippa!!
4 stars for FireBalls

Max and Tillie!

This is the third installment in this baseball series. I really enjoyed it the further along it got. It doesn't have the same in your face humor we have seen in the last two books. So it took me a little to really get Into these two. What helped were the pranks being pulled. But I came love them as the story progresses

Not my favorite

I love Pippa Grant books but I agree with some of the listeners, this book moves way too slowly, and it was hard to finish. I will continue to listen to her books but again this one was a disappointment. I only kept listening because this book is part of a series.

Exactly what I needed

Pippa Grant is a true master at delivering stories that touch real life issues. Throw in laugh out loud humor and a parrot that almost stole the limelight and this, like all the others I've read, is a true winner. Savannah Peachwood and Wen Ross are outstanding!

funny love story

loved the story and the characters.
laughter all the way to the end.
Enjoyed the siblings pranks.

So much fun

I love the cast of characters that we have met in the town of Shipwreck. Each book in the Copper Valley fire ball series ties the players together but they are just as much fun if listen to as a standalone.
