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

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.

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!

cute summer romcom
this book was REALLY cute, i liked fox and hannah! it was fun listening to it on audiobook, there were some really sweet and funny moments between them. the spice was good. i didn’t love it as much as i loved it happened one summer, but it was still enjoyable. maybe i’m not a massive fan of third person? still liked it🥰 epilogue was really cute, if you’re in the mood for a cute romcom this is right up your street😊
tropes: small town, friends to lovers, reformed playboy.

Bland.
I quite enjoyed the first book in the series. This one not so much. The storyline was bland, but not as bland as the characters.
They were pretty nondescript in 'It Happened One Summer', but that wasn't their story, so it was to be expected. However, they didn't impress me much in this book either.

Enjoyable
If you liked the first one you’ll like this! I think Hannah could grow a bit of a backbone but this type of attitude is par for the course in this genre and its easy enough to overlook and just indulge in the guilty pleasure

So incredibly painful
I did finish this book, but it was painful to do. Half of this book is repetitive inner dialogue that just keeps you rolling your eyes and cringing. How many times can two characters have the same conversation with themselves? According to this book, a lot.
Also, I know the story was about Hannah and Fox, but the lack of interaction between Hannah and Piper was unrealistic.
The first one was cute, this was not.
One positive note is the epilogue. I did appreciate a future glimpse into everyone’s lives.

Not a great follow up
I was really excited about this story since I absolutely loved, “It Happened One Summer” and hoped then that the obvious connection between Hannah and Fox would be fleshed out, but this book was so painstakingly drawn out that I just found myself rolling my eyes over and over again and wishing it would just end already. Even when they (FINALLY) got to the steamy parts I found myself completely bored!
They narrator’s voice really bothered me. Her accents and voices for other characters was nothing short of cringey. And the way she said, “Hannah” (her own name!) drove me up the wall. And it was said A LOT.
Honestly, I’m surprised I made it past the first chapter which was a LONG string of back and forth texts between the two main characters read as: “Sept. 15th, Hannah, 10:22pm……” and “Fox, 10:22pm…..” FOR. EACH. TEXT. It was excruciating to listen to and I almost quit right then and there thinking that was how the whole book was going to play out because it went on for so long. Maybe this one is just better off as a physical read and not an audio one.
The overall story could’ve been a lot better and I’m just left disappointed that this wasn’t even close to how good “It Happened One Summer” was. Shame.

SO BAD ! SO SO BAD!!!!
I’m honestly questioning now the hype these books are having. This book was bad! I really liked the first book “it happened one summer” but this one was simply terrible. It even used the same “no condom” scenario. The whole f***boy who wants to be loved its so unbelievable bad! I just lost my time and money.

Boring
I was such a huge fan of it happened one summer and was so excited for this because I love Tessa Bailey. But it was just so boring to me! Hannah is annoying, fox is annoying. There is zero piper and Brendan and fox’s storyline and problems are so lame lol. I want my audio credit back

X Rated
This was a good story, but I found the sex scenes a bit cliche and over the top. Additionally, these scenes seemed to prove, especially the degrading dirty talk, that sex was still way too much of a priority even when the characters supposedly changed.

Another great Tessa Bailey book
This was perfect to listen to after it happened one summer. Easy to love these characters and just enough spice. Not my favorite narration but not bad! Just wish it could have had a male and female narrator.

Entertaining and Exciting
Tessa Bailey is a wonderful author. That paired with the narrator for this was great. I enjoyed listening to this story come to life. The smutty goodness is top tier.

Just good
The readers voice was just bad and really took away from the story itself. The story was fine but not half as good as it happened one summer.

Beautiful
I laughed out loud, and out right sobbed. I think I loved this sister's world better than the first. This is a believable love story that punched me right in the heart.

Quick easy listen!
I really enjoyed this book! It felt like smut mixed with a hallmark movie and apparently I really enjoy that genre lol. Would definitely recommend!
