I just finished It happened one summer by Tessa Bailey and I liked it. It's an easy read which is what I need. Now, while I do agree with some points raised about this book and I'm not completely crazy about Tessa's style of writing – but I overall liked the book. Any I'm really happy it's being made into a movie, the whole time I imagined Nina Dobrev as Piper and Tyler Hoechlin as Brendan, which is what I think made me like the book as well.
I'm a complete sucker for the whole trope, strong fisherman protecting her, small town, and all of that. I'm usually always stuck on the book after reading it no matter how good or bad it is, which is why I like to sandwich it with a movie (book-movie-book). If anyone has any recommendations for a similar movie like ihos (that I can watch right now), I'd really appreciate it! After that I'll finish it of by the second book in the series, if I manage to find it.
I'd also like some(a lot) recommendations, if anyone can take some time. As I don't have a lot of time, just assume I haven't read anything and have been living under a rock. I'd really appreciate any recommendations that include:
- any storm elements – like there was a big storm, blizzard, anything, I love that s*it
- ofc big strong man protecting the love interest – added bonus for jealousy
- it must be a happy ending story
- I like small towns, but I'm cool with big ones as well, coastal towns are a big plus for me rn
- detailed spicy scenes (sorry, not sorry)
Please keep it simple, I'm really stressed from my day to day life and I like my books to relax me, not stress me even further, which is why I need a happy ending-feelgood book. I don't care if they're not accurate with town descriptions or such (as I'm not from USA or UK so I don't even know), but I do like them realistic-ish.
I'm also not feeling like fantasy, mafia, or hardcore spicy scenes such as multiple people sex (is that how you say that?), and nothing pisses me of like 20 inch peepees.
I'd be surprised if anyone read this far and if I get any movies or books suggestions, but I'm hoping I found my people here. <3
