This bundle includes the following novels:

IT HAPPENED ONE SUMMER: Hollywood “It Girl” Piper Bellinger is cut off from her wealthy family and exiled to a Pacific Northwest harbor town where she butts heads with a grumpy local. But as she gets to know the town, reconnects with her past, and develops surprising feelings for big, bearded Captain Brendan Taggart, Piper begins to wonder if the cold, glamorous life she knew is what she truly wants.

Loves this book!

I didn't care that the voices were different from the first book. but love the book

Yay for the bundle

I think it’s great that Bailey allowed her books to be in a bundle, so that people could enjoy more than one for less of a cost because this hobby can be really expensive.

Book 1: When I started the book I thought I wouldn’t enjoy it because the main character was this ditzy air head rich girl, but I really loved it. The writing was well done but I can’t help thinking that maybe each chapter could have been written in each main characters perspective having two narrators. You can really sympathise with Piper. Her world was a one thing and then someone was blaming her for being that way, even though that’s how she was raised. The same could be said about Brendon. I think what I take away from the story is that you need the right people and the right place to be truly happy. The spice… wow brace yourself for the hospital scene.

Book 2: I don’t know if I could choose between the two stories. They were likeable in different ways. I liked that the book started with the text thread, I liked that the connection is starting before she came back to the town. I like the way that both characters have preconceived notions of themselves but don’t see how they are wrong until the other one points it out. Sometimes we as people are so caught up in what other people think about us that we stop seeing who we are or who we want to be. The narrator was great. And it was a slow burn spicy.

Why doesn’t the bundle include the bonus chapter???

I am obsessed with these books after listening to them! So much so that I bought the actual books and found out that there is a bonus chapter about Fox and Hannah at the end of the first book, which was not included in the audio books. HUGE disappointment. What a treat it was the read that chapter 😭❤️ It should have been included in the audiobook!

Party Girl Learns Her Lesson

The reviews and hype around this book scared me off at first, since I've been burned by booksta and tiktok famous books before.

But my bestie and a few trusted friends had great things to say, so I finally gave it a go! I found Piper harder to relate to than most romcom protags, as a plus size nerdy short girl. However, I really enjoyed her emotional growth and journey throughout the book! I liked the Hot and Hammered series quite a bit more, but this was a fun read, and hit all the Alexis Rose / Schitt's Creek vibes it promised.

Couldn’t stop listening

I absolutely loved these. I preferred the characters in the second book, but both were fantastic. I absolutely couldn’t stop listening.

This is a Halmark movie, though a good one.

At first I was skeptical because the book seemed like a complete rendition of a Halmark movie. Rich girl moves to small town, meets blue collar guy and doesn't get along, then they fix up an establishment together and fall in love. Though a bit cliché, I did enjoy the story and the characters. There was a lot of growth from all sides and I immediately started the next book. As someone who reads more magic/fae with violence books, this kind of series is growing on me.

Cute Story

Very hallmark movie with smut lol. Cute story, cute setting, cute characters, cute, cute, cute.

Catchy and wonderful

I really liked this series. It was well written. I wish the second book ended really quickly it seemed but I liked it!

Love Tessa Bailey

Heartwarming, funny, captivating. I love Tessa Bailey’s writing style and this bundle did not disappoint.

Very cute

Such a light, fun read. Great for mindless entertainment. I loved all of the characters.
