Description

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?

    The better of the series imo. Pretty cute but needed more relationship building before giving into so much spice. Feels like we are more told than showed the progression of this couples romance.
  • Loved it!!

    Loved this sequel. It was the perfect addition to the story to read about Hannah and Fox’s love story. Their love was different than Brendan and pipers but still so undeniable. The character development was a little predictable but still special. The ending being so many years in the future was so sweet and rounded it out perfectly.
  • Loved and will read again

    Considering that this is a sequel to “It Happened One Summer” I thought i was just gonna read about what her sisters story but instead I was engulfed in the most relatable book about Hannah and Fox. Even though there were times were I was annoyed or had an eye roll moment it was still a great book and would read it again, wishing to get a physical copy for the next read.
  • and the sinker did the trick

    I’ve read this back to back 4 times. I do recommend reading “It Happened One Summer” the first book in the series first. Although, I didnt do this and read this as a stand alone first. I believe it is amazing both ways, but the first book has a bonus chapter that totally adds to the experience of the book. Absolutely in love this these two books together. Gah! Swooning each time I read this book.
