Product Information

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. The characters were brilliant and vibrant and there was plenty of witty dialogue to enjoy along the way. The connection between Piper and Brendan was well developed and I liked seeing their growth throughout the book and how their relationship prompted both of them to make positive changes in their lives. As expected, the plot did follow a typical romance structure, however something about the setting and direction of the story still felt fresh. Soon, though, their relationships begin to bloom as we read more chapters of It Happened One Summer novel. Piper begins to embrace the present while also making peace with her past. Not easy for her, but also enjoyable, as long as she is with Brendan And we can say, It Happened One Summer in this novel. Our mission at Frolic is to tell great love stories, and we are thrilled to be working with our partners at BCDF to bring Bailey’s swoon-worthy novel to life,” said Berger.

Yes, I know,” she said, prodded by irritation—and more than a little bit of reluctant shame. “Life is what I’m documenting through photos. I—” 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. 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.

It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey follows Piper Bellinger and Brendan Taggart. Piper got cut off financially from her stepdad in LA and was forced to move to a small town to learn how to be responsible and independent, her sister, Hannah, also decided to tag along. Brendan is a ‘bearded sea captain’ who resides in the small town, Westport, that Piper was forced to relocate to. The two didn’t hit it off immediately, almost an enemies to lovers vibe but not completely, but they both definitely found themselves sexually attracted to one another and had some underlying chemistry bubbling at the surface. I loved watching their relationship unravel. Muszynski most recently adapted Christina Lauren’s New York Times bestselling romantic comedy novel The Unhoneymooners for BCDF.

I can’t believe you’re throwing it all away like this,” Piper whispered, pressing her champagne flute between her breasts. Maybe drawing his attention there would change his mind. “We’ve been through so much.” I absolutely adored this book, Piper and Brendan had such a healthy dynamic in their relationship which I absolutely admired. Brendan is definitely one of my favourite book boyfriends! This book got tabbed and annotated A LOT! All of the characters were so loveable, and I’m extremely excited to read Hook, Line & Sinker next! Bailey said, “From this moment on, I am living to see Brendan and Piper brought to life on screen. I’m thrilled and honored that BCDF Pictures and Frolic Media want to make this happen!” It’s enemies to lovers, whereas the sequel Hook, Line, and Sinker, (which was also amazing!!!!) was friends to lovers. Brendan was giving me Rip from Yellowstone vibes, and Fox (a main character in the sequel, and Brendan’s best friend) gave me so Sawyer from Lost vibes. (I’m pretty sure he was written with Sawyer in mind….if you know, you know).

Piper is an American woman; however, she is not too familiar with the Westport area. Plus, the idea of having a romantic relationship with the big, bad, and bearded sea captain while sleeping in a shabby place sounds too horrible for her. Will Piper and her date survive the challenges in the chapters of It Happened One Summer? Piper Bellinger is fashionable, influential, and her reputation as a wild child means the paparazzi are constantly on her heels. Piper’s smile felt brittle, so she turned it up another watt, careful to keep it one crucial notch below manic. Chin up, woman. This wasn’t her first breakup, right? She’d done a lot of the dumping, often unexpectedly. This was a town of whims, after all.
