Content Warnings: Discusses cheating, breaking off engagements, and office romances. Describes fires and fire/explosion injuries. Has explicit sexual content.
“Love at First Spite” follows Dani Porter, an interior designer who just broke off her engagement to an entitled, cheating jerk, and Wyatt Montego, an unfriendly (but good-looking) architect that works in the same firm as Dani. When she sees the opportunity to buy and build in the plot beside her ex’s house (that was supposed to be her house), blocking its beach view—she takes it. The only problem is no architect will take her project, except for Wyatt. A serious and critical architect that has lowkey always had a thing for Dani, but she really doesn’t know that. Until she does.
Look, objectively I understand office romances are wrong—but holy, this was so good. All the characters were so likable and the story relatively fast-paced (although the romance not to so much). Dani and Wyatt have great chemistry, although miscommunication was a big stressor here.
The writing was good, but I did see a few plot holes here and there. I don’t want to go into details, but after reading this book, all I am thinking about are those pieces I’m missing.
Overall, I would highly recommend this romance book if you’re looking for a light-ish read that’ll make you go through a great range of emotions in 320 pages.
