About this listen

He's the last man I should've picked for a one-night stand.

See that guy over there? The insanely tall, broad-shouldered, dark-haired, scowling, “I don’t drink coffee” suit? Surprise! He’s the new owner of my family’s mountain café. The café that has been my life purpose since I was born in the kitchen there almost 30 years ago. The café that he’s planning to completely gut and renovate for revenge against my family.

He’s also the funny, charming, irresistible guy I spilled all of my secrets to last week. During the hottest one-night stand of my life.

As my dog would say, woof me.

Secrets and gossip keep getting me in trouble, and I swore I was done with both, but now my family’s café is on the line. It’s time to use every last trick I know to uncover every secret this man is hiding.

I don’t care how much I liked him our first night together or how much I keep seeing glimpses of that man beneath his gruff exterior. One of us has to go. It won’t be me.

The Gossip and the Grump is a one-night-stand-to-enemies-to-lovers rom-com featuring a woman desperately trying to unlearn everything she knows about everyone, a grumpy misfit hiding a secret heart of gold, an unfortunate incident with powdered cheese, and the world’s biggest lap puppy. It is a stand-alone, but you wouldn’t go wrong listening to The Worst Wedding Date first.

I needed the many laughs this book had to offer

Pippa Grant never lets me down. I was in need of a good rom-com after a few darker books. This was perfect! Seriously, PG books guarantee laugh out loud moments. I think Sabrina and Grey’s story was even better than Lanie and Theo’s. Loved it!!

but she's no longer a gossip... right???

I just LOVE when a one-night-stand turns into a future boss!!!

The Gossip and the Grump, is the PERFECT blend of world’s colliding, vengeance gone wrong, a heroine who isn’t afraid to put someone in their place (because…you know…THEY DESERVE IT!) but also likes to gossip (wellllllll…not anymore, she says), and a deliciously hot man to spill said heroine’s guts to!

This book was a hilarious, hot read, full of everything that makes a romantic comedy…exactly that! Author Pippa Grant has written a perfect second book in the Three BFFs and a Wedding series that make you want the next book in this series like I do! I absolutely fell in love with these opposing characters (Sabrina and Greyson), their coffee shop, the town, and the revenge plot!

I absolutely recommend you read book 1 (The Worst Wedding Date) first…because the author has written the perfect lead into the second book. You will definitely enjoy it more (plus, you get THAT much more PIPPA! This light-hearted, LOL book was exactly what I needed to brighten my day!

**AUDIO REVIEW**
Jason Clarke and Callie Dalton were perfection as Greyson and Sabrina!!! Jason Clarke can do no wrong…yes, I know that is my opinion, but I said what I said…and Callie Dalton was a new-to-me narrator who I absolutely loved as Sabrina! Their narration took this romantic comedy to a whole new level! LOVED it!

Loved

I loved the journey of Sabrina and Grey. Callie and Jason are the perfect duo to bring the characters to live. Love Pippa’s writing style. I would say it helps to read the first story in the series before this one. You enjoy the story more knowing the backstory. Love the sweet banter between all of the side characters. The trio brings the story to the next level.

Let's Give Them Something to Talk About!

Classic Pippa Grant! I never thought I’d want to live anywhere else in the Pippaverse other than Copper Valley, VA but I’m ready to start packing to move to Snaggletooth Creek, CO! Full of Pippa’s signature quirky characters, The Gossip and the Grump hits all the right notes of hilarity, heat, and humor. Sabrina (the gossip) and Grey (the grump) are perfectly imperfect humans doing the best they can with the messes life deals them. Jitter the tweenage St. Bernard puppy is the latest in the line of animal characters that could easily steal the show but instead are the perfect complement to the story.
As always, top notch narration. Jason Clarke is perfection and Callie Dalton shines. I can’t wait for the next story in the series and hope we come back to Snaggletooth Creek again and again as we travel the Pippaverse.

Cute Story

This story was super cute. Great start, great ending. I think it drug on a bit in the middle with all of the “I don’t want you” “I can’t be with you” back and forth.

The way that Grey finally got his peace from Chandler’s actions and his ex best friend’s actions was very poignant!

This was narrated by Jason Clarke who is a top fave of mine and Callie Dalton who has a lovely voice with a cute little lisp that is barely noticeable at times and super noticeable (but doesn’t deter from her performance) at others.

I really enjoyed them both and Jason NAILED the dog POV Epilogue!

Small-Town Workplace RomCom

A recovering gossip unloads her town’s secrets to her one-night stand, fudging the key details, the last night of vacation. She ghosts him the next morning, never expecting to see him again.

Boy is she surprised when she later discovers he’s the new owner of her family’s small-town café.

At a glance:
- Dual POV
- Workplace (boss/employee)
- Neighbors
- Grump-sunshine
- Small-town setting and all the quirks that go with it
- A bit enemies-to-lovers
- Winter in the mountains (with a man not built for the cold)
- A Saint Bernard that likes to go everywhere with his human

Make sure to stick around for the bonus epilogue; it cracked me up. It’s especially fun on audio.

This is the second book in the Three BFFs and a Wedding series. While you could read it as a standalone, I highly recommend reading The Worst Wedding Date first.

I listened to the audiobook version. I adored Jason Clarke’s narration. He always does a fantastic job capturing the humor, emotion, and swoon-factor of MMCs. Let’s be honest: I could listen to him all day, every day. Callie Dalton does a decent job as Sabrina, but, in my opinion, if you have listened to multiple audiobooks narrated by her, you’ll start to notice that her performance doesn’t vary from book to book. 4.5⭐️ for the narration

This is such a fun series, and I'm excited to read Emma's book next!

I received a copy of the audiobook from the author. All review opinions are my own.

So much Fun!

Loved this audiobook. The story was deep and serious at times, but with lots of warm and caring moments too. There was plenty of great banter and no one writes animal POV’s like Pippa Grant. Jason Clarke was awesome as Grey, giving him such warmth, s3xiness and delicious grumpiness. Callie Dalton as Sabrina also did a wonderful job. This was a great story and I highly recommend it.

Drama in the Tooth

After meeting most of the cast of characters in Hawaii during “The Worst Wedding Date,” it was nice to see them in their natural habitat. The Tooth was everything I dreamed it would be and more. Everyone was so sweet and just the right amount of crazy. It was exactly the kind of small town you’d expect. Sabrina was so amazing. I’m a little bit in love with her. Sure, she’s a gossip. But that’s because she takes the time to talk to people and get to know them. Grey was hot and cold. He was so amazing when he was being himself. Unfortunately, his walls were pretty high, which made him unlikable at times. Luckily, Sabrina was able to bring out the Grey we knew and loved from Hawaii. Also, Zen and Mimi were my favorite new characters. I can’t wait to read Emma’s book now because I need to know her story, like, right now.
