About this listen
Tessa Bailey is back with a Schitt's Creek-inspired rom-com about a Hollywood "It Girl" who's cut off from her wealthy family and exiled to a small Pacific Northwest beach town... where she butts heads with a surly, sexy local who thinks she doesn't belong.
Piper Bellinger is fashionable, influential, and her reputation as a wild child means the paparazzi are constantly on her heels. When too much champagne and an out-of-control rooftop party lands Piper in the slammer, her stepfather decides enough is enough. So he cuts her off, and sends Piper and her sister to learn some responsibility running their late father's dive bar... in Washington.
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 what if Piper can't do math, and the idea of sleeping in a shabby apartment with bunk beds gives her hives. 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.
Except it's a small town and everywhere she turns, she bumps into Brendan. The fun-loving socialite and the gruff fisherman are polar opposites, but there's an undeniable attraction simmering between them. Piper doesn't want any distractions, especially feelings for a man who sails off into the sunset for weeks at a time. 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. LA is calling her name, but Brendan—and this town full of memories—may have already caught her heart.

Predictable
Very predictable and unrealistic story, hoped it would get better but it didn’t! Easy listen, but wouldn’t buy another in this series

Surprisingly good
For a romance story this is actually a very good listen. I’m sure there will be a story to follow about the sister to come as well. The narration was spot on for the main character.

lost interest
I thought I would try a different author so read this book after reading all the positive reviews. I was sad to say that I lost interest in reading it on more than 1 occasion. I did eventually finish it but thought it could of been shorter and more interesting. I won't be reading this authors material and will probably be sticking to the same authors that I normally read.

Was okay, but hard to believe
The main character was one that was hard to believe could be real. It just wasn’t all that interesting.

The book is way better
I've read the book and it's a 5⭐️, however, the narration was not. I only listened to it to remind me of the story before I read Hook, Line And Sinker

Lovely little romance
Was a brilliantly written book, had me hooked from the start. Some naughty scenes, so not appropriate for younger readers but was a really easy read. The characters truly came to life

Sooooo good.
What a treat from start to finish. Probably my favourite Tessa Bailey yet. Great character development and growth, lovely humour, tenderness and charm. And brilliant narration by Ms North too - 👏
