Tessa Bailey has been very hit or miss for me. While I really enjoyed It Happened One Summer, this one just didn’t do it for me. I wanted to like Hannah and Fox’s story but unfortunately I was so bored. This book started off at a good pace but soon fell down hill. I think part of my issue was just how hard the author was pushing for them to be a thing. This is a romance book, I know it’s coming, but why did we have to push the character to try and fulfill Fox’s “player” role. I would have much preferred to see the friendship they had been building since the first book really take center stage and form into a relationship, instead of what we did get. I also found some of their interacts to be very cringe. Some scenes were just tuff to get through. The only reason I made it through this was from skimming the last half. I really wanted to love this, it just didn’t work out that way.

this book could’ve been soooooo good but this author can’t write a steamy scene to save her life???? Examples include referring to the leading lady as a sex kitten and “petting her cl*toris” because ummmm what ?? also “molding her buns in his hands” like how in the world is that supposed to be hot/sexy/seductive. like who is she writing that for ?????? im actually shocked i had to put the book down for good measure lol because i absolutely hate how authors can throw around the words “d*ck” and “c*ck” without a care in the world but just can’t say “v*gina” or “p*ssy” like why the double standard??? instead we get shit like “intimate flesh” LIKE FLESH??? god it’s so bad i wanna cry i feel robbed of something… because why is it
“pulling his tongue through the split of femininity”
instead of “pulling his tongue through the folds of her c*nt/p*ssy/v*gina”
… like i just don’t appreciate synonyms and metaphors during steamy/smutty scenes it’s cringey and weird but hey that’s just me personally. After reading “milking his thickness with her femininity” i skipped the rest of the s*x scenes because it was seriously diminishing the characters in my head. because WHO APPROVED THAT

Second Book in the Series. Another fun lighthearted romance. I definitely enjoyed Brendans and Piper story a little more in It Happened One Summer, but wasn't disappointed in Hannah's and Fox's story in Hook Line and Sinker. I definitely relate more with Hannah than Piper and really liked the role of music in this story.
