SYNOPSIS

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?

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...

MY REVIEW

Hook, Line and Sinker by Tessa Bailey were one of my most awaited books of the year 2022. I had been waiting for it before I even read It Happened One Summer because I loved the synopsis so much. Then I read It Happened One Summer, and I could feel the buildup between Hannah And Fox, and it was just so amazing. 

One of the best things in this book was Fox’s Character. I usually don’t like Playboy, but he was totally not a Playboy? I mean, he was, but at the same time, he wasn’t? That’s confusing but when you get to know his backstory and see what he went through and even see Hannah’s opinion of him it sort of hurts and you’ll understand.

 Hannah was one of the best female protagonists I’ve ever seen, and I can’t even pinpoint why but I think it’s something to do with her not being as dramatic and being just chill. He hurts her by saying something, and she doesn’t act all like, “I’m never talking to you again because you said something to hurt me” She actually thinks about all that he’s done for her and forgives him (the healthiest relationship in a book I swear). Hannah is just amazing as a character, and I think I love her more than Fox just because of how she treated him and how she understood him.
