It Happened One Summer

For more of my reviews, check out my blog.

Okay, this was cute. It wasn't anything mind-blowing, though. A fun, cute little romp of a contemporary romance book. I think my reaction is probably because I wasn't a huge fan of Schitt's Creek. (TBF, I don't think I made it through half of season two...idk if that changes anything.) BUT ANYWAY — I thought this was fun.

Brendan is captain of a fishing/crabbing boat up in a tiny town called Westport in the Pacific northwest. His life is incredibly structured and rigid, and when Piper blows into town, well. Everything is turned upside down and hates the change in routine and...well...he hates her at first. Piper is loud, a tiny bit obnoxious at first, and just incredibly spoiled. HOWEVER, you find out quickly that she's not a bad person. She doesn't think down on anyone because they're not as lucky or well-off as her. She's sweet, and has a big heart.

I really thought going into this that I probably wouldn't like Piper because of how she's talked about in the official blurb. As I've mentioned before on the blog, I hate books about awful people. But that's not Piper at all, and I'm so, so glad. She kinda slowly comes into herself, but the whole time she's doing what she can to help people. Brendan is a big ol' teddy bear of a man and I love him. He was so totally head-over-heels for Piper in the most adorable way. Not to mention these two were hot, hot, hot together. Tessa Bailey is known for the steam, and boy howdy does she deliver.

Three and a half-ish stars rounded up for GR. I recommend if you're looking for something fun that doesn't make you think too hard!
