When Tessa Bailey sat to write this book, she said she wanted to give Alexis the happy ending she deserved, and Bailey does just that. Still, as they continue to bump into each other around town, a reluctant attraction builds between them that can’t be ignored. Piper doesn’t want anything to distract her from her goal of returning home to LA, and Brendan is set on living out his life alone. Within five minutes of being in town, she meets Brendan, a gruff sea captain haunted by the memories of his late wife. When she finally takes things too far and gets arrested, her step-father decides it’s time that she learns a lesson, so he sends her-and her sister who refuses to let her go alone-off to a fishing town in Washington to live above the dive bar her late father owned. Inspired by Schitt’s Creek, It Happened One Summer follows Piper, a spoiled influencer with a wild reputation. Now, I can honestly say that her writing lives up to the hype. I’ve heard so many great things about Tessa Bailey’s writing, so I just had to apply for it when I saw the ARC for this book on NetGalley. LA is calling her name, but Brendan-and this town full of memories-may have already caught her heart.
Yet as she reconnects with her past and begins to feel at home in Westport, Piper starts to wonder if the cold, glamorous life she knew is what she truly wants. Piper doesn’t want any distractions, especially feelings for a man who sails off into the sunset for weeks at a time. The fun-loving socialite and the gruff fisherman are polar opposites, but there’s an undeniable attraction simmering between them. How bad could it really be? She’s determined to show her stepfather-and the hot, grumpy local-that she’s more than a pretty face.Įxcept it’s a small town and everywhere she turns, she bumps into Brendan. So what if Piper can’t do math, and the idea of sleeping in a shabby apartment with bunk beds gives her hives. Piper hasn’t even been in Westport for five minutes when she meets big, bearded sea captain Brendan, who thinks she won’t last a week outside of Beverly Hills. So he cuts her off, and sends Piper and her sister to learn some responsibility running their late father’s dive bar… in Washington. When too much champagne and an out-of-control rooftop party lands Piper in the slammer, her stepfather decides enough is enough.
Piper Bellinger is fashionable, influential, and her reputation as a wild child means the paparazzi are constantly on her heels.
