 This was cute but I did roll my eyes quite a bit. Everything just ended up perfectly which was a bit nauseating, to be honest. And parts were just over the top. The narrator was great and it was fun and plenty steamy! I don't really care for slow burn though.

So cute. Hannah and Fox are both major catches. Their love is adorable and steamy. The story was pretty fast-paced but somewhat repetitive, particularly regarding Fox working through his issues. Third person limited, dual POV.

Spice: 4/5, very explicit sexual content, although only in a few chapters.

She did it again. Every time I read a new Tessa Bailey book I think to myself „surely, it can’t be that good again.“. But yes, yes it was that good again. I loved to see how Fox‘s story got told. And it made me so sad to see that he had to struggle with the playboy imagine so much. I will never judge someone for being a playboy ever again.
-.25 points only because Fox‘s dirty talk made me cringe at times…

Tessa Bailey has done it again. Hook, Line, and Sinker is a 5 star follow-up to It Happened One Summer. Fox and Hannah have amazing chemistry and great tension- and the pining! This book has Tessa’s signature balance of sweet and spicy, highly recommend to all.
