Fell apart for me, unfortunately

**2 Stars**
+Possible spoilers in this review+

Honestly it kinda pains me to rate this lower. I was really loving this book. I was smiling so much. It was sweet and sexy and adorable and had its funny & charming moments. It's the first time in a long time my kindle battery died because I was glued to it too much to go upstairs to put it on charge.

This book was absolutely gonna be a 5 star read for me and that made me excited then it started to dwindle. Look, first of all what soured it for me early on and then returned later on was something that is possibly spoilery so... [ Brendan is a widow but the way he talks of his deceased wife is such an easy out. "We didn't love each other. I didn't have intense feelings like I do for you." Like why can't it be both? He wears a wedding ring for someone long after they are gone, and yet he is so dismissive about her. It's a cheap tactic in my opinion.] It probably won't bother many other people but it bothers me when this is done. The other thing that just ruined it for me is that Tessa Bailey really fell back on some weird norms of masculinity and femininity, I think this is showcased in what is perceived as man = grunty, big and possessive and woman = small, dainty and reliant on him. There was "a real man!" comment or two. But that's a whole other conversation, but the gendering didn't stop. There was masculine back muscles there were "he's so male/ smells so male." There was a "feminine message" and yes I spelled that right. A feminine chair. Etc etc

Then there were lines like:
“It was like a movie poster, with the male lead curling his big, hunky body over the swooning, feminine lady and taking his fill.”

“folds of her femininity,”

“Looking at her across the table with rare male vulnerability,”

I'm not trying to mean I'm really not, I really like Tessa Bailey and her writing but this was too much and at some point it starts to feel like a point is being made but what?? And why??

I had to skim from 70% on because the things I mentioned ruined it for me. And I loved Piper and glad she got her HEA. I absolutely loved her relationship with her sister, honestly some of my fave moments. And yes Piper and Brendan are this lovely mismatch together that works so well. In the end though it feels like Piper gave up herself so she can be someone that Brendan gets to protect.

It's a pity because this book had feelings of pure joy, I was genuinely having a great time reading this! I loved Piper because I loved Alexis Rose's character and growth in Schitts creek but I'd go in with a expectation of very loosely based on Alexis because the growth with Alexis is long and this is naturally a little more sped up where Piper is concerned. Also if Alexis ended up with more of a Mutt type than a Ted type. And if you're expecting a more diverse set of characters, this book is very hetero-normative. I do have to say there's extra layers of depth in this book that I wasn't expecting especially with Piper and her family's past, that added extra emotion to the book.

I wanted to love this and was loving it but it fell apart for me which suuuucks.

It happened one summer

@tessabaileyisanauthor was a new to me author last year... thanks to bookstagram! Our TBRs just seem to get bigger and bigger the more we get to know you guys. I was really looking forward to this after loving Tessa’s Hot and Hammered series.

The story follows “it” girl influencer Piper on her journey back to her parent’s seaside home town where she meets the rugged sea captain Brendan.

At first I found it really difficult to get on with Piper I actually didn’t like her much at all. She acted spoiled and as if everything and everyone was beneath her i.e. the law?! Eventually though I started to warm to her throughout what became her redemption story and I loved the arc her character took to find who she truly is and what really matters to her

The story is told in a dual POV and I really enjoyed this dynamic between Piper and Brendan. I felt like Brendan almost didn’t know what to do with her but in the end his fast and true nature tamed her. Both characters are polar opposites so if you love the enemies to romance trope you’ll enjoy this!

Dishy fisherman had me feeling all at sea

4.5 stars

The plot line in one line: After being arrested, “it girl” Piper is banished to her pokey little birth town where she meets the gorgeous but grumpy young fisherman Brendan who – despite his best efforts not to – develops the hots and a heart for her.

The good and the bad: So, turns out fishermen are hawt. And grumpy. And big-hearted, passionate and very good in bed! Brendan was certainly “catch of the day” in this book.

I wasn’t expecting to like a vacuous, social media star but Tessa Bailey wrote Piper really well – yes the heroine was a bit clueless, but she had a heart of gold and was really just lacking confidence (the real stuff, no the false front she puts on for social media).

The sexual tension between them was zinging! And when they finally get to the good stuff, it’s off-the-Richter-scale hot. Oh, and touch taboo. I loved how Brendan knew exactly what he wanted, and what would make Piper pop, and he delivered every time - as was described in detail.

I liked how there was an initial clash between the two, but then Brendan soon realised how much he liked Piper and went in pursuit of her – seeing through her faux confidence. It was perfect. It didn’t need to be more than that – just them falling in love and becoming better, more fulfilled people as a result.

But then… sigh… the Bailey wrote in the typical, last-minute twist of drama right toward the end and it took the shine off the story because what happens between Brendan and Piper is so out of character for them as a couple and as individuals – it just didn’t make sense. It wasn't necessary - the book was going great as it was. Though it was a bit contrived, it didn’t ruin what was otherwise a really, massively, superbly enjoyable romance.

I am very much looking forward to reading the next book in the series – about Piper’s sister Hannah and Brendan’s skipper, Fox.

Absolutely loved sailing away with this!

So, hands up, a little confession… when I saw the illustrated cover initially I thought maaaaybe this wouldn’t be quite as good as Tessa’s usual books. I thought maybe it would be a little ‘softer’ for lack of a better word?! Tessa to me is everything in how she writes. She is my one click, drop everything and read right now author and I am embarrassed to say I was a little worried this might have changed that. Well I can hand on heart say - I’ll eat my hat, over and over and over again. The different cover changes absolutely NOTHING! This book was everything! The captain was a big, burly, swoonworthy dirty talking LI, very much what I’ve come to love and expect from Tessa. Piper was a loving, spirited but lost woman who grew throughout the book, by herself and with the help of Brendan, Hannah and the town. I loved the small town vibe, getting to know the locals - seeing their story.. but what I really loved is them. My gosh I feel like I was swooning over every single page! My heart was taken out on a journey as if it was stuck on a boat at a stormy sea, and I’ll happily ride those waves. Loved everything about this. Definitely not disappointed in the least, and will for sure be rereading. I don’t think I’ve ever highlighted as many passages as I have in this book!

She’ll shockingly good

Well I’m a sucker. Of course I guessed what would happen early on and the type of ending I would see, it did that stop me being glued to every chemistry filled moment, floaty movement, endearing looks and awkward run ins?
Of course not. In the first few page, I was dubious, quickly realising this was the point and there was so much to unravel about Piper Bellinger.

When a series of bad decisions sent LA socialite Piper and her dutiful sister to the fishing town of Westpoint, no one was ready for what lay ahead. A burley widowed Captain Brendan fought when a sequinned covered Piper showed up turning his routined world and hometown askew.

Piper’s relationship with her sister was truly endearing and a standout in this book. The sense of home as the Westpoint residents were introduced was surprising but made the book all the warmer.

I cannot ignore the fireworks, steam and chaos that filled the pages with the battle of wills between a starry eyed socialite and a no nonsense captain.

I wish i could articulate the escapism I felt when enveloped in this funny, steamy, heartwarming and empowering book.

The personal developments and progression each character made through this book had me hooked on plot and characterisation.

Great summer read.

A fun and quirky summer romance!

This book deserves all the stars in the world!!! Wow... I can't even begin to explain how happy this book has made me.

Read if you love grumpy/sunshine with a lot of hot, steamy scenes cause wow I wasn't expecting how hot this is!
This book is amazing to show us that you can't judge people based on first impressions and at face value. There's depth to us all and we just need to get to know people to get there. That's exactly what happens between Brendan and Piper.

Brendan is our broody fisherman hero who is very dead set in his ways and habits. While Piper is our bubbly, socialite heroine who turns Brendan's world upside down. I just adored their relationship and I love that there was an apparent instant attraction between them but it wasn't insta love. On the contrary our two MCs denied their feelings for just the right amount of time to build tension. AND the tension is palpable... omg the angst!!!

Just 5/5, 10/10 whatever, it was amazing. Please go read it

First book that I've read from Tessa Bailey and I've fallen in love with her style.
This book is everything you need for a great summer read: it's funny, it sexy and hot, and full of honest love.
I could totally relate to the characters in the book and all the struggles they went through. I couldn't put down this book and I don't read the same romance book twice but maaaan, I'll read this book again!!!
At the end of the book I was kinda feeling sorry for Hannah not being a main character and would have loved to read about her perspective of some of the story lines... and I hope that all wishes will come true just like this - Hook, line and sinker is about Hannah and her story, so I ordered the book and will start reading tonight with a nice glass of rose. Happy Summer you all!!!! 😘

Read it. Love it!

I came across this on TikTok and thought I'd give it a read, and I'm so pleased I did. I really enjoyed it! It is an easy read and very easy to get lost in.

Piper is a 'it' girl who is sent back to her roots after her partying ways become too much for her stepfather to cope with. She hasn't done anything for herself in forever and so it is quite a shock when she and her sister, who comes along for moral support, have to fend for themselves. After living her life for likes and follows on social media, it's hard to be her true self. Enter Brendon, a local boat captain who has a no nonsense, routine driven life with no knowledge of social media.

Read it. Enjoy it.

So much fun

This was really fun. I just really loved it; the angst, the humour, the romance, it ticked all my boxes and put a huge smile on my face and I had a great time reading it. It genuinely made me laugh out loud in a couple of places. I’d recommend it if you want a funny but slightly angsty opposites attract, small town romance.
