About this listen

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.

I absolutely adored this book. The story was funny & heartwarming, with lots of Pippa Grant's trademark humour and shenanigans all the way through. With Bea having three brothers and also her best friend, Daphne, I definitely smell the start of a brilliant new series with this book! 👏👏
Both narrators were fantastic, and extra kudos for using a British male narrator to narrate the British MMC, Simon 😊

I loved Bea & Simon's story ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pippa Grant always delivers the most hilarious audiobooks. Her books are a treat to my years. In this revenge date go sooo wrong but right, full of laughs and found family and banter galore we find two souls making the best of what life gave them.
Callie Dalton brought the sweet and sassy Bea to life. Her voice was the perfect match. Will Watt narrated the Brit turned every one’s famous actor Simon with his effortless smile and you could definitely hear it when narrating.

Single dad? Small town? Yes, I am all in for a new series by Pippa Grant! This is a fabulous listen with a story that not only kept me captivated but had my heart the entire time. Meet Bea. She has had it tough, taking care of her siblings and making sure they had everything they need to be happy in life. Now they are grown, and she has no idea what she wants. Simon is an actor, staying in town for the summer with his twin boys for some of it and he has taken a liking to Bea. That love hate relationship turns into a fake date to satisfy a guilty conscience and drive Bea's ex crazy. Where does it go from there? I can't tell you all the details, but there is hilarity and feelings, good food and sibling threats and a dog, I can't forget the dog. It's a listen that just made me happy and started my weekend off with a smile and warm heart.

Will Watt and Callie Dalton narrate this gem in duet and together they create magic. Watt is Simon, a definite romantic, a people pleaser and all around great guy. Watt plays the emotions like a well tuned guitar, and made me fall for Simon much sooner than Bea did! Dalton is amazing as Bea. Full of attitude, carries a weight on her shoulders and pain from her ex, the emotions are high. I loved these two together and enjoyed the listen.

This pushes all the right buttons!
