Hook, Line, and Sinker (Bellinger Sisters, 2)

Product Information

Hannah is a lowly production assistant in Los Angeles with aspirations to work on movie musical scores. She has a crush on her director Sergei, but he hasn’t noticed her in the two years they’ve been working together. When he doesn’t like the location of the current movie he’s woking on, Hannah suggests they move the location to Westport, WA, which coincidentally is where her sister now lives with her fiance Brendan.

Past Me “you’re taking a risk by reading this book” Present Me “but her name is Hannahhhh” Future Me: I Told You So - Randy Travis this is what fox's trauma boils down to.........this and his mom giving him condom money from an early age. 😫😔🤣😧😐 moving on.

hook, line, and sinker.

i’ve said this before and i’ll say it again: if there’s one thing i love, it’s a broken man that doesn’t know his self worth but then he does all thanks to the woman. gets me every time. 😋😋😋

Friends to lovers? Yes except Fox was already head over heels in love since the prologue. Friends where?

Hobbies

Hannah was such a highlight for me. She was so fun and compassionate and witty, the friend of all our dreams. I included Christian's little........mood board? Because I wanted to start this review on a positive note. And I think I've made it clear enough that he was the only entertaining or interesting addition to this book. Being Hannah's frenemy led to some hilarious interactions. And before any of you go building ships and whatnot🛠️🚢 he's gay. 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. 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... Without further to say, Tessa Bailey knows how to truly make you obsess over her characters. A healthy obsession that will have your toes curling for much more to come.

You make me feel like I’m in the exact right place,”I’ve read quite a few of Tessa Bailey’s books, and although I’ve enjoyed every one I’ve read, none of them have had that five star favorite quality for me… until now. Hook, Line, and Sinker was the perfect romance for me. I loved everything about Hannah and Fox’s story!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. Our parents were in the Mediterranean, so we walked to our neighbor's house and they were in France-" After reading It Happened One Summer, I wasn’t excited about Fox and Hannah’s book in the slightest because of the friends-to-lovers trope. It’s more of miss than a hit trope for me and Hook, Line and Sinker didn’t manage to change my mind. Turned out Hannah and Fox were as boring as I expected them to be. Was there mutual pining? Yes. Was there jealousy? Yes. Did I feel anything reading it? Nope. You can say what you want about Piper. Does she has 5 brain cells max? Hell yes, but that girl was so entertaining. Fox and Hannah ehhh... snoozefest from the prologue til the epilogue. i really enjoyed the first book in this series because i felt it didn't take itself too seriously and hit all of its emotional beats with relative seamlessness. with hook, line, and sinker, i've had to write up a small laundry list of pet peeves:
