My first Tessa Bailey book and it was fun! The writing was so easy to slip into and made the characters so fun. The story felt like a Hallmark Movie but tailored for millennials.
And that spice?? I was not prepared. I need a Brendan. Like now, please.
I will definitely be reading Hook, Line, and Sinker.

It was funny and cute fish-out-of-the-water love story, with some very unrealistic but charming parts. I'm not a fan of insta-love. I kept getting pulled out of the story, probably because I kept yelling in my head "you've only known each other 5 weeks, how can you know?!"
The multiple smut scenes were spicyyyy.

I enjoyed this book some scenes had me kicking my feet and giggling and others had me cringing this book is spicy with a happy ending no cliffhangers no cheating and no love triangle i thought this book was cute Piper did get on my nerve’s towards the ending though that miscommunication/misunderstanding at the ending i feel was a little unnecessary but i did love the male main character every scene that he was in i enjoyed so much this book follows a rich daddy's girl getting in trouble so her stepfather sends her to a small town where she lived as a toddler but her mother moved her to LA when she was four because something horrible happened and when Piper and her sister Hannah go return to this little small town as punishment for piper thats where we meet the male main character who is a widowed big and tall fisherman i did find some scenes pretty annoying in this book are main character Piper did have a whole lot of problems within herself that i feel she brought into her relationship with Brendan which cause some unnecessary bickering between them I don’t want to say to much and end up spoiling the book and this book also has Enemies to Lovers,Opposites Attract,Small Town Romance,Grumpy x Sunshine and it’s a Slow burn overall i rated this book 4 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’d never picked up a Tessa Bailey book before this one, but the high praise on social media had me interested. Unfortunately this didn’t live up to all of that hype for me. I am a lover of romance books, especially cheesy histroms but for some reason this book just felt…clunky. The dialogue was so u realistic I was cringing after every sentence. I will say though that Bailey really understands what the girls want. Brendan isn’t your classic romance novel boyfriend, he’s gruff and masculine in just the perfect ways. Talk about female gaze. No matter how wonderful he seems the problems created in their relationship didn’t make me want to root for them with all of my heart. Sure I did like them together but seriously? His whole spiel changed once Piper actually became invested. No way the decided and tenacious captain would just give up just like that. I found it hard to suspend my disbelief. For all its faults I still enjoyed the book and am really intrigued by Fox and Hannah. I just love a reformed player (rakes in histroms lol).
