Summary
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.

Loved it!
Have only recently started reading Pippa Grant books and am loving this series. The Gossip and the Grump is like a warm cup of hot chocolate wrapped in a big hug … the community they live in, the friendships and the pets! Jitter’s epilogue made me smile so much too. Narration was amazing - am downloading the next book NOW!

Grey & Sabrina
4.5 stars
In typical Pippa fashion, we have another winner audiobook. The banter between the main characters is excellent and funny, the feel good factor is over the charts good and we have the animal that always steals the show, in a good way. Pippa writes the best stories and can always pull a laugh, or several, out of me. It also helps that Pippa casts great narrators that really bring the stories to life. Jason Clarke and Callie Dalton were fabulous as Grey and Sabrina.

A Delightfully Wonderful Story & Listen🎧
I loved everything about this delightful small-town enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy, from Pippa Grant’s wonderful writing style to the fabulous characters and storylines she created to the perfectly cast narrators who brought it all to life from the pages to my ears. The two lead characters are amazing, the grump, Mr. Greyson “Grey” Cartwright, and the gossip, Sabrina Sullivan. The two met while in Hawaii to attend a destination wedding, a wedding that never took place. They hit it off and have a memorable one-night stand and Grey was smitten with her, but she ghosted him before he could get her number, heck they did not even exchange real names. That would not be the last they saw of each other, fate brings them back into each other’s lives, but this time he is no longer the fun and loving guy she spent the night with, but a serious grump. Grey, the new owner of the cafe, comes to Snaggletooth Creek with vengeance on his mind to get back at Chandler Sullivan. He was not expecting to see Sabrina again, never mind that she is the one running the cafe, even so, he is not letting her foil his plans. Except Sabrina is determined to protect the town’s cafe and will do whatever it takes to make that happen. I loved how everything played out in this book, the plot, world building, character growth and development are fantastic and the story has it all, drama, humor, a touch of angst, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. The witty back-and-forth dialogue is brilliant and a shout out to my favorite canine, Jitter, a real scene stealer. Pippa Grant, thank you for another fabulous story, the laughs and the emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Pippa Grant cast the perfect narrators to bring her characters and story to life. Jason Clarke and Callie Dalton did an amazing job portraying the characters, giving each their own voice and personality, making it easy to follow along and tell who is who. Clarke aced it as Grey, grasping every aspect of his personality, and Dalton did the same as Sabrina, her more sunny demeanor to his grumpy one. They sent the perfect tone for the story, handled the witty dialogue with ease and landed the humor effortlessly. You could hear how much heart they put into their performance as they capture all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These entertaining storytellers and versatile voice artists and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

Get ready for a treat!
I love Pippa Grant. She always can take me out of my book slump with her sense of humor and trail directly to my heart! This book is so good, it is one that definitely should no be missed! Sabrina is not one to indulge in a one night stand, but when in Hawaii, she sees the gorgeous Grey, she makes an exception. After all, she will never see him again. That is until he shows up, taking over her Mountain Cafe! And not only that, but she has told him all the details of the people in her town. That will teach her never to gossip again. But when she finds out why Grey is in town, trying to take down her cafe and turn it into a kombucha bar, she is willing to compromise. She is the master at finding things out and there must be another way for Grey to get what he wants out of the town. What these two find out is that there are goals and dreams they don't even realize they want! Talk about chemistry! These two have it in spades! And their banter! And the gossip! Small towns are the best for keeping secret until they are not! And Zen is such a great secondary character! And a dog! I loved this fast paced, enemies to lovers story. It's the perfect rainy day, weekend listen and definitely grab a copy when it's released!
And who better than Jason Clarke and Callie Dalton to bring this romcom to life? Clarke brings out all the bitterness and grumpiness that is Grey. He understands him so well, and it's easy to feel he conflict Grey has. Dalton becomes Sabrina in all of her glory. She is secret keeper until you cross her, and Dalton brings all the feels of betrayal, frustration and love as Sabrina deals with her man. This is the perfect team and a listen that should not be missed!

Sabrina & Grey's story
This is the follow up to the excellent 'The Worst Wedding Date'. Although it can be listened to as a standalone, I would recommend listening to them in order, as the story arc does run through both.
This book is laugh out loud funny, and has all of the romance, spice and feelgood elements of all of Pippa's books.
I absolutely loved it, and will definitely listen again and again, just as I have done with the first book.
I am already excited to revisit these characters and listen to Emma's story, when Book 3 comes out.
Fantastic narration by both narrators all the way through, but special mention to Jason Clarke's narration of the bonus epilogue, which is a joy all of its own!! 🤣

Jitterbug the star 🌟
Another amazing story from Pippa Grant. I loved Grey and Sabrina's story and thoroughly enjoyed visiting Snaggletooth Creek. The secondary cast of characters from Zen to the triplets and Mimi along with the group of locals that visit the café were so well described and quirky that I simply can't wait for the next book in this series!

Not so great
Excellent narration but this was a let down following book 1. I guess I expected more compared to similar romance novels but this was my 2nd book by this author and I don't think she is for me. It's very slow burn with hardly any pay out and little to no sex scenes! Both of these are massive turn offs for me. I will give book 3 a chance and that will solidify if I continue other books by this author.

Sadly a bit disappointed
I felt this started off great - fun premise, great banter, hot sexy times.
Then about 10 hours of the same over and over. They want each other but now they don't want to want each other.
Looks, glances, hating themselves and being snarky to each other. Feeling guilty they want each other.
I just felt like my wheels were spinning and we weren't getting anywhere. And this saddens me because I love everyone in this, the cast, the writer. It just didn't keep my attention.
