It’s clear that after meeting Hannah, Fox starts to face his demons and figure out why he really has become the playboy character he so clearly despises. Fox has kept up with this charade his whole life, but the whole thing slows down when Hannah first comes into town. Why? He takes after his father, who apparently was the same way. He goes to Seattle on the weekends to sleep with women, and the town is convinced he will never settle down.
Fox is known all around town as a playboy. Yet, I found myself turning page after page wondering where the depth would start to appear–spoiler? It never did.
While I enjoyed her first book (in the way that you enjoy a mindless chick-lit by the pool kind of book), I was looking forward to the depth that Booktok readers promised in her sequel. I was excited for Hook, Line, & Sinker after hearing that Tessa Bailey’s second book in this series was even better than the first, It Happened One Summer. I’m not sure whether the Friends to Lovers thing just isn’t for me, or what, but I honestly had SUCH a hard time getting into Tessa Bailey’s Hook, Line, & Sinker–so much so that I almost DNF-ed it several times.

Yet, when Hannah’s job on an LA movie set has her traveling to Westport and Piper’s guest room just so happens to be occupied with the new in-laws, Hannah’s excited to learn that Fox just so happens to have a room available for her to crash in at his place. Hannah’s Piper’s sweet, sensitive younger sister and Fox is a sexy flirt that everyone knows is only good in bed–so, when the two become fast friends after Hannah and Piper’s visit to Westport the previous fall, everyone would be surprised (that’s only if the two decided to tell anyone). In the follow up to Tessa Bailey’s It Happened One Summer, Hook, Line, & Sinker follows Piper Bellinger’s younger sister, Hannah, and her love story with small town playboy, Fox.
