"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?"-- Provided by publisher

Friends to Lovers... submitted by pamhockey25 on June 14, 2022, 3:27pm We met these characters in It Happened One Summer, where they meet and become friends...Piper feels like she's never the lead character and wants to be...Brendon is content supporting his boss and doesn't want any more responsibilities. There is forced proximity, they become better for knowing each other, and this rom-com was a lot of fun. A light, easy read.

Hook, Line, and Sinker submitted by avrogers1 on June 21, 2023, 3:05pm This was a delightful, easy read. I really liked the characters and the plot, though a bit predictable, was everything I wanted from a romcom type story. It was well written and is perfect for a quick read.

hook, line, and sinker submitted by Ghutton88 on July 25, 2023, 2:30pm I love Tessa Bailey's books but this one is way better than the first in the series. we love an emotionally complex man.

sweet and steamy submitted by gw on August 21, 2023, 3:04pm An enjoyable contemporary romance, fun to read even with the predictable ending. Both characters were decently developed and likeable.
