Two delightful people find both themselves and true love in Tessa Bailey' s sequel to It Happened One Summer, Hook, Line, and Sinker. . . Bailey is a master at articulating emotion through both narrative prose and dialogue, and readers will feel everything going through the hearts of this charming yet imperfect couple. Every page in this fabulous novel is pure romance gold. --BookPage (Starred Review) Bailey continues the delightful story she began in the hilarious rom-com It Happened One Summer (2021), in which Californian Hannah met fisherman Fox. . . The music and seaside setting add flavor and color to this delicious, slow-burn love story. --Booklist sizzles with romance and wit. . . Bailey expertly captures both the intense chemistry and true friendship between Hannah and Fox as she takes them through humorous mishaps and miscommunication. This sparkling rom-com will have readers hooked. --Publishers Weekly Bailey' s plot is fast paced with plenty of humor laced throughout. Fox and Hannah are well-developed, likable characters with emotional depth that will resonate; they have a lot to overcome, but readers will be rooting for them. --Library Journal (starred review & Pick of the Month) Tessa Bailey writes pure magic! It Happened One Summer has everything you could want in a rom-com--heartwarming romance, laugh-out-loud humor, and scorching hot chemistry between the lovable socialite and sexy ship captain. I absolutely loved it!--Alexis Daria, bestselling author of You Had Me at Hola "Bailey strikes rom-com gold in this outstanding tale. . . [She] is bound to earn new followers with love scenes hot enough to boil water and a hilariously naive Schitt' s Creek-inspired protagonist who is clearly out of her depth. " --Booklist (starred review) on It Happened One Summer "I put my entire life on hold the moment I opened It Happened One Summer. I read it in one long, luxurious sitting, reading each page twice, not wanting to miss a moment, and dreading The End. I knew I was reading one of my new favorite books, and I will reread it for years to come, whenever I need a dose of small-town coziness and hard-bodied sea captains. Tessa disarms you with a laugh, heats things up past boiling, and then puts a squeeze inside your heart. The tenderness, vulnerability and heat I am always guaranteed with a Tessa Bailey book are the reasons she is one of my all-time favorite authors. " --Sally Thorne, USA Today bestselling author of Second First Impressions With her singular talent for writing romantic chemistry that is both sparkling sweet and explosively sexy, Tessa Bailey once again delivers--It Happened One Summer is everything I want in a modern romance, with two complicated, appealing leads, a setting that feels lived-in and also fresh, and storytelling you want to sink into even as you can' t stop turning pages. The total package from one of the genre' s very best. --Kate Clayborn, author of Love at First "A romantic comedy delight. If you loved Schitt' s Creek, It Happened One Summer will be your absolute jam. "--Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Soulmate Equation Her voice feels as fresh and contemporary as a Netflix rom-com. . . Bailey writes banter and rom-com scenarios with aplomb, but for those who like their romance on the spicier side, she' s also the Michelangelo of dirty talk. She wields filth like Da Vinci does a paintbrush, and there' s a lot to be said for an author who can fill such exchanges with all the requisite heat, enthusiastic consent, and yes, even humor, of such a scenario without veering into corny territory. --Entertainment Weekly
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Tessa Bailey lives in Brooklyn, New York with her husband and young daughter. When she isn' t writing or reading romance, Tessa enjoys a good argument and thirty-minute recipes.
