Summary

AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES AND #1 USA TODAY BESTSELLER

In the follow-up to It Happened One Summer, Tessa Bailey delivers another deliciously fun rom-com about a former player who accidentally falls for his best friend while trying to help her land a different man…

King crab fisherman Fox Thornton has a reputation as a sexy, carefree flirt. Everyone knows he’s a guaranteed good time—in bed and out—and that’s exactly how he prefers it. Until he meets Hannah Bellinger. She’s immune to his charm and looks, but she seems to enjoy his… personality? And wants to be friends? Bizarre. But he likes her too much to risk a fling, so platonic pals it is.

Now, Hannah's in town for work, crashing in Fox’s spare bedroom. She knows he’s a notorious ladies’ man, but they’re definitely just friends. In fact, she's nursing a hopeless crush on a colleague and Fox is just the person to help with her lackluster love life. Armed with a few tips from Westport’s resident Casanova, Hannah sets out to catch her coworker’s eye… yet the more time she spends with Fox, the more she wants him instead. As the line between friendship and flirtation begins to blur, Hannah can't deny she loves everything about Fox, but she refuses to be another notch on his bedpost.

Living with his best friend should have been easy. Except now she’s walking around in a towel, sleeping right across the hall, and Fox is fantasizing about waking up next to her for the rest of his life and… and… man overboard! He’s fallen for her, hook, line, and sinker. Helping her flirt with another guy is pure torture, but maybe if Fox can tackle his inner demons and show Hannah he’s all in, she'll choose him instead?

❤️ 🦊

I like the struggle with Fox and his past. The idea that being promiscuous is also an issue for men. I like how they spoke of sexualising men from a young age too. I like that it wasn’t just a quick mention that came and went, you actually see the negative thinking and how he keeps bringing it up because it actually affects him, the thought is so ingrained in him and Hannah has to break it. 5 stars

Hannah’s Story

This didn’t have enough meat for it to be as long as it was.
I started to find Fox’s issues repetitive .
Maybe if Hannah had had more substantial issues it would have flashed the story out more.
I don’t know. Something was just missing.

So good!

As always Tessa Bailey never fails to disappoint. Really enjoy this book, loved how the story unfolded and was a good slow burn!

Angst and bad steam

This could have been a good storyline, Hannah - the film industry and her penchant for music/soundtracks but so much verbiage is wasted on Fox’s constant concern about his worthiness in both work and Hannah that the book kind of falls apart. Fox’s musings are repetitive, long winded and frankly BORING. The steam is nearly more unbelievable than the prequel. It is too anatomical and, given how wracked Fox is with doubt, slightly farcical. The worst is that, spoiler alert, when they are all made up and ready to finally go at it again, he fingers her while fully clothed - romantic or what!?
Better books by better writers abound.

the voice drew you in

the book was gripping from start to finish. this book follows the life of Hannah after she goes back to LA but Is soon drawn back to westport for work. she is also drawn there for fox the fisherman.
she stays in his guest room for work and they are both drawn closer to one another even though fox is a ladies nab he can feel himself wanting to change for Hannah. but can he really be good enough for this beautiful music entrepreneur
my favourite character was fox in this as it shows men can change their ways for the right person
my least favourite character was Brandon for labelling his friend that way
I would definately recommend this book to anyone wanting a typical love story

long winded

while I enjoyed the book, I didn't love it

the very long drawn out friend/lovers story and his very overly dramatic reason for his flaws irritated me but the writing style was good

Brilliant

Loved this from beginning to end. The narrator did a fantastic job of bringing the story to life.
I laughed out loud so many times I got some strange looks 😂
Definitely recommend.

So much better than the first book!

Loved the narrator and her style. It made me really connect with the characters which didn’t happen with the first book (a different narrator). I enjoyed this story more as well. Love Fox’s character.

UNREAL UNREAL UNREAL

This was one of the best books I have listened to and I proper fell in love with the characters - a bit raunchy which I was not expecting but would love to see this be turned into a movie!
