"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

"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
