It Happened One Summer (Bellinger Sisters, #1)

by Tessa Bailey

“I’ve dated some airheads, Piper.” He sighed. “But you put them all to shame.”

That stung…

“I guess not. But you definitely need a brain that functions beyond how many likes you can get on a picture of your rack. There’s more to life than that, Piper.”

Go die Adrian we don’t need you or your out of fashion Tom Ford Suit

“There’s just nothing to you, okay? There are thousands of Piper Bellingers in this city. You’re just a way to pass the time.” He shrugged. “And your time has passed.”

My heart :(

Where Piper was taller, Hannah had been called a shrimp

Ah the first flaw in this book everyone knows the younger sister is taller .. always

“I’ll get them,” at least nine men said at once, tripping over themselves to reach the door.

lol

Pipes—keeper of ridiculous names and purses—snapped

How original. Another man who thought she was worthless? How positively breathtaking. He didn’t matter. His opinion was moot.

Get it girl

“Wow. What is your problem with me?”

Gooood question.

What does reality have to offer me? Guide me, O wise one.”

“The captain is a little sensitive about Piper,” Fox explained, still wearing that shit-eating grin. “He doesn’t know what to do with his confusing man feelings.”

She was meeting her long-lost grandmother in sweaty running clothes. Classic.

It’s chilled girl you are too cool!

and if it were any other night, if the timing was better, he’d have kissed her

My tummy did the thing! Agh sooo cute!

It was like he could read her mind, knew everything about her, and liked it all. Wanted some of it for himself.

Hannah sucked in a breath. “Do you think he’s, like, courting you?”

In dirty jogging pants or sequins, she was still pergola worthy.

He grunted. “You ready?” “Ready for what?” “For me to ask you to dinner yet.” Her pulse tripped all over itself. Got up. Tripped again. “Did you think you needed to build a pergola to convince me?” “No. I, uh …” He tossed down the rag, shoved his hands into his pockets. “I needed something to keep me busy while I worked up the nerve to ask.”

And fuck, every time she cringed about the dirt under her fingernails, he wanted to lay her on a silk pillow and do all the work for her, so she wouldn’t have to. He wanted to do the spoiling. Badly.

She didn’t want to feel special around Brendan, though. Did she?

Why you crazy duck what’s so special about your home back in the city ha?

This girl. He’d be keeping her. There was no way around it.

“Can you be mad at me while I kiss you, baby? It’s all I’ve wanted to do for the last two weeks.”

Needed a reminder of her old life.

Yes yes we get it the old life that was …. Nothing .. but by all means keep mentioning it 🙄

And when her face transformed with pure joy and she waved enthusiastically, Brendan knew he loved her.

She said it right as the music cut out. Everyone at the bar heard it.

Ha 😂 *snort

I love you, he mouthed over her head.

Tries not to cry .. cries a lot

He could surprise her. Make her happy. Provide her with what she loved. Couldn’t he? Yeah. He could. Actually, he was looking forward to it.

Her eyes closed. “I know I love you, Brendan. I know I love you and that’s it.”

You have to marry him, Hannah mouthed. I know, Piper mouthed back. What the fuck?

“It’s fine. If it was meant to be, I’ll run into it again one day.”

Please tell me that fox bought it and we’ll be hearing about this in the next book
