"Steamy, sexy and fun, you''ll want to soar through these pages." - New York Post "Tessa Bailey is in a league of her own. She has mastered the perfect balance of heart, hilarity, and of course, heat. Elijah and Addison are such a special duo--built on snark, sweetness, and a genuine friendship. Beat for beat, Getaway Girl, is pure romance perfection." - Lyla Sage, New York Times Bestselling Author of Lost and Lassoed "I put my entire life on hold the moment I opened It Happened One Summer. I read it in one long, luxurious sitting, reading each page twice, not wanting to miss a moment, and dreading The End. I knew I was reading one of my new favorite books, and I will reread it for years to come, whenever I need a dose of small-town coziness and hard-bodied sea captains.
Tessa disarms you with a laugh, heats things up past boiling, and then puts a squeeze inside your heart. The tenderness, vulnerability and heat I am always guaranteed with a Tessa Bailey book are the reasons she is one of my all-time favorite authors." - Sally Thorne "With her singular talent for writing romantic chemistry that is both sparkling sweet and explosively sexy, Tessa Bailey once again delivers--It Happened One Summer is everything I want in a modern romance, with two complicated, appealing leads, a setting that feels lived-in and also fresh, and storytelling you want to sink into even as you can''t stop turning pages. The total package from one of the genre''s very best." - Kate Clayborn, author of Love at First "A romantic comedy delight. If you loved Schitt''s Creek, It Happened One Summer will be your absolute jam." - Christina Lauren "Tessa Bailey writes pure magic! It Happened One Summer has everything you could want in a rom-com--heartwarming romance, laugh-out-loud humor, and scorching hot chemistry between the lovable socialite and sexy ship captain. I absolutely loved it!" - Alexis Daria, bestselling author of You Had Me at Hola "Fans of Schitt''s Creek will love the premise of Bailey''s latest work.
[a] sexy, drama-filled love story. It Happened One Summer is another great beach read. Plus, laying out in the sun is a perfect excuse for the blush-inducing scenes scattered throughout." - USA Today "Schitt''s Creek fans, this is the romance read for you." - PopSugar (Best Books of July) "Her voice feels as fresh and contemporary as a Netflix rom-com. Bailey writes banter and rom-com scenarios with aplomb, but for those who like their romance on the spicier side, she''s also the Michelangelo of dirty talk. She wields filth like Da Vinci does a paintbrush, and there''s a lot to be said for an author who can fill such exchanges with all the requisite heat, enthusiastic consent, and yes, even humor, of such a scenario without veering into corny territory." - Entertainment Weekly "Bailey delivers on her usual trifecta of sharp banter, instant chemistry, and high-heat sex scenes, but they are coupled with intense soul-searching for both Piper and Brendan.
Another winning romance from an author at the top of her game." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Bailey strikes rom-com gold in this outstanding tale. [She] is bound to earn new followers with love scenes hot enough to boil water and a hilariously naïve Schitt''s Creek-inspired protagonist who is clearly out of her depth." - Booklist (starred review) "This fish-out-of-water story features quirky characters in a charming working-class small town and a steamy, feel-good romance between opposites. Schitt''s Creek fans who just wanted to see Alexis get her happy ending will flock to this title." - Library Journal "When you read a book by Bailey, there are two things you can always count on: sexy, rapid-fire dialogue and scorching love scenes." - BookPage.com.
