This book is everything I love in a romance book: it's funny and a lil cheesy, it's steamy, the angst is strong, the characters are loveable, and the is character growth is visible and admirable.

What I consider the perfect test for this holy grail is "Can the author deliver a cheesy/cliché line that has me grinning, rather than cringing?" - and Tessa Bailey knows how to deliver. I don't think there was a single moment in this book that I wasn't either hooked (hehe, get it?) or giggling along while reading. One aside, though, is that I would love this novel even more if it came with a Spotify playlist that has all of the music Hannah and Fox reference on it. Not necessarily to go along with the book, but I feel like that playlist would be epic.

Hook, Line, and Sinker is a fun, breezy sequel in the Bellinger Sisters series. When reading, I didn't have a single critical thought enter my mind - it was pure vibes and fun energy the entire time. I would recommend it to fans of Tessa Bailey's other works, anyone who loves a good romcom movie or book, or really anyone who's down for an easy and delightful story.
