Summary
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.

Here goes back to Shipwreck with even more glitter
A flawed hero meets his ideal woman but can't take that step..
I love it when it looks impossible at the start but you see that spark and gradually over time things turn around and love blossoms.
Set in Shipwreck, a crazy madcap town that I'd love to visit wherever meet the characters we met in earlier books. This time it's Tillie Jean's turn, the pranks with her brother continue, Long John Silver the badly behaved parrot and Sue the goat are around causing havoc as usual.

Frienemies to lovers sports off season romance
I love Pippa Grant and her wacky sense of humor. I love these characters. Things to expect in this book: pranks, siblings fighting and standing up for each other, struggles with anxiety, lots of flirting, lots of laughs, family interference, lots of glitter, the list could go on but I’ll stop there. The narration is wonderful. I definitely recommend this book. 🎧 Audiobook obsession

grumpy
Brilliant dual narration from Savannah Peachwood and Wen Ross. Perfect
Ahh a grumpy hero. Max is not ready for Tillie Jean! I loved these two! The denial of feelings, the serious sexual tension, and I was so here for it because the wait was all worth it!

Fun! Fun! Fun!
Pippa Grant always brings a smile to my face! She has so much humor laced in her books, it makes them fly by and keeps me engaged in the story. This third book in the Copper Valley Fireballs is enemies to lovers, brother’s best friend and a sports romance too! All things I love included as we get to know Tillie Jean and her grumpy neighbor, Max. She has had a love hate relationship with him since he came on the Fireballs, and she just cannot figure out why. When he walks into a prank meant for TJ’s brother, our fun begins. If it can happen between these two, it does, creating an awkwardness that is just the right amount of foreplay. But no matter the situation, this slow burn romance is keeping the embers low as Max keeps holding back. The question is why? What will happen if the two get involved? Will try team be ok with it? And TJ’s brother? And what is really the reason he Max is hesitant? Chemistry, pranks, glitter, sassy parrot, family and that small town feel, Grant has us laughing and falling in love. It’s fun and flirty, frustrating and hysterical. And the characters are lovable. You can’t help but love this one, it’s my favorite of this series!
Narrated by Savannah Peachwood and Wen Ross, we are treated to a team that knows exactly how to bring humor and love alive. Peachwood is perfect as the independent, stubborn, yet lovable Tillie Jean. Ross has a warmth in his voice that I love, but he can create that standoff feel that Max definitely puts out. Incredible comedic timing and a great complimenting of voices, this team is a fantastic casting and a wonderful listen.

I absolutely love Pippa Grants books. Always plenty of fun banter that makes you laugh out loud, with some good sizzling goodness thrown in!
The prank wars in this book are truly epic, and really hope that we hear more on them in future books.
This book was a bit more slow moving then usual for Pippa’s books but I still really enjoyed it!
