If you liked the characters & emotional development of Hook, Line, and Sinker, this one is very reminiscent of that. Although, I would say Rita has far more baggage than Hannah did. So, instead it feels more like two people figuring out their issues and emotional baggage together. There is less spice in this one, but the dirty talk is 10/10.

โ€œOne of the main reasons she didnโ€™t date was fear of rejection, fear of someone she actually liked seeing the worst in her. Or, worse, the best in herโ€”and deeming it lacking.โ€

Itโ€™s no โ€œIt Happened One Summerโ€ but itโ€™s pretty close. Tessa always knows how to keep her readers coming back for more with her tall dark and handsome men along with quirky women.
