Tropes: Grumpy-sunshine opposites attract romance between a rich influencer (FMC) and a grumpy deep sea fisherman.

At first I really did not like the FMC and found her selfish and vapid, but her personal growth and character development were both very deep. The MMC was someone I liked from the start - his stoic, practical, routine-driven personality was appealing.  I did not buy the InstaLove here, but the relationship gradually became more believable as it unfolded.

The sexual content in this was absolutely gratuitous and took a lot away from the story. I skimmed / skipped it all.

The plot was good, but the illicit parts were over the top. It made characters relationship seems mostly sexual based, not true love.

This was a fun, very spicy read that was pretty well written. There was definitely cringey dirty talk and if I had to hear the words “Recharging Station” one more time I would’ve screamed. Piper had a solid character arc and Brendan needs anger management/therapy. There was also a point when I yelled out loud, “Does no one text!?” But I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a romcom/beach read and would be willing to check out Bailey’s other books.

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⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
