Piper Bellinger is an influencer who gets sent to the small seaside town of Westport, Washington by her stepfather after she gets arrested. She doesn’t expect to fall in love with the town…or the hot bearded sea captain she finds there.

BRENDAN TAGGART, ladies and gentlemen. That’s it, that’s the review.

No, but seriously, I love me some fictional men, but the immediate and probably unhealthy obsession I developed with Brendan and with this book totally caught me off guard. I could not get this book out of my head while I was reading it, and have a feeling it will stay there rent free for some time to come. Honestly, if a man doesn’t tell me he’ll love me until his heart gives out, do I even want him? (No, I don’t.)

Also, there was a Hannah/Fox moment that nearly made me cry, so I cannot WAIT to read HOOK, LINE, AND SINKER!

If you like romance, please read this one!
