Piper thrives on being the center of attention. She’s always in the middle of the hottest parties, wearing the hottest clothes, spending tons of money, and she even has a verified Instagram profile. But she’s never had to work a day in her life, and she’s never really thought about money, much less anything beyond herself.
When an after-hours party she throws turns raucous and she gets arrested, it’s the last straw for her wealthy stepfather. He and Piper’s mother decide she needs to learn responsibility, so they cut off her money and send her to the beach town of Westport, Washington, where she and her sister lived until their fisherman father died. Her father owned a bar there and Piper will have to run it for three months before she can come home again. (Luckily, her sister agrees to accompany Piper to Washington.)
Needless to say, Westport is a far cry from glitzy Los Angeles. And no one knows what to make of Piper, especially Brendan, the big, bearded (and sexy) captain of a fishing boat. He doesn’t think she’ll last in Westport—but of course, he can’t take his eyes off her, either.
Small towns being what they are, they’re constantly running into one another, trading banter…which turns to flirtation. But Brendan has his own issues to deal with, and Piper is just in town for as long as she has to be, so there’s no use in catching feelings for each other, right?
Well, you know what happens. I was there for all of it. I loved these characters and the small town and the banter and the steam (and there is STEAM). While I didn’t get as much of a Schitt’s Creek vibe as others have said they did, this book had heart and humor and romance, and it was just great.
