Review: Tessa Bailey’s HOOK, LINE, & SINKER.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the complimentary ARC. All opinions provided are my own.

Tessa Bailey is one of my fave authors—how many times have I skimmed my fave parts of her books? (please do not ask 😆)—& yet I was still stunned in the best way by Hook, Line, & Sinker.

Friends to lovers usually isn’t a trope I stand up & cheer for but for an author who writes magnetic attraction so well to also be a romance master of pacing & a slow burn? It takes it to a whole new level.

This book gave me even more than I expected. Hannah is a LEADING LADY & I loved her so much. Sweet & sarcastic & loving & loyal—I could only applaud how she took up for Fox. (BTW, Melinda I hate you.) Hannah’s actions throughout the book show again & again that she is there, that she loves Fox for who he is.

& Fox. He is a walking dreamboat. His care of Hannah is so fantastic—there’s a small line about how he’s dying to get antiseptic on her cut & I SWOONED. (Not to mention how he decorates her room or the other gestures he makes).

This book gave me everything & I can’t wait to add it to my shelves. Thank you, Tessa, for another amazing book 🥵.

5 ⭐️. Release date: 03/01

CWs: an ex told Fox he was a hall pass when he thought they were in a committed relationship. His dad was a philanderer. People in town often make derogatory remarks to Fox about his sexual practices.
