Aan het lijntje

BEKEND VAN TIKTOK Fox Thornton heeft een reputatie als zorgeloze flirt. Vrijwel elke vrouw die hij tegenkomt valt al snel voor zijn sexy looks en nonchalante charme. Dan ontmoet hij Hannah Bellinger. Ze is totaal ongevoelig voor zijn charmes, maar ze lijkt hem wel heel… aardig te vinden? En wil vrienden met hem zijn? Zoiets heeft hij nog nooit meegemaakt. Als Hannah voor werk een tijdje in de stad is, trekt ze tijdelijk in bij Fox, in zijn logeerkamer. Hannah heeft een crush op haar collega, en succesvolle versierder Fox helpt haar met wat praktische tips om zijn aandacht te trekken. Hoe meer tijd de twee samen doorbrengen, hoe meer ze voor elkaar beginnen te vallen. Fox vindt het steeds lastiger om de vrouw waar hij verliefd op is te helpen bij het versieren van een ander. Kan hij zijn bindingsangst overwinnen, en Hannah laten zien dat hij echt om haar geeft? Aan het lijntje (in het Engels verschenen als Hook, line, and sinker) kwam bij verschijning binnen op de eerste plek van de New York Times-bestsellerlijst. De opvolger van wereldwijde bestseller Een zomer vol verrassingen is net zo populair bij lezers als de voorganger. Beide delen zijn los van elkaar te lezen.

Een zomer vol verrassingen

Superpopulair op TikTok Piper is een hippe, verwende influencer en partygirl. Wanneer een avondje feesten uit de hand loopt en Piper echt in de problemen komt, besluit haar stiefvader dat het genoeg is geweest. Hij vindt dat Piper moet leren wat verantwoordelijkheid is, en hij stuurt haar zonder geld naar een havenstadje om daar de kroeg van haar overleden vader te runnen. Daar ontmoet ze al snel de stugge visser Brendan. Hij weet zeker dat de verwende Piper het ergens anders dan Beverly Hills nog geen week kan uithouden. Oké, hoofdrekenen is niet haar sterkste punt, en ze krijgt jeuk van alleen al het idee in een stapelbed te moeten slapen, maar hoe erg kan het zijn? Westport is een klein stadje en ze komt de norse Brendan overal tegen. Ondanks hun verschillende persoonlijkheden is er een onmiskenbare aantrekkingskracht tussen de twee. Piper wil zich echter concentreren op de bar tot een succes maken. Ze wil namelijk zo snel mogelijk terug naar Los Angeles, en zit niet te wachten op gevoelens voor een man die soms wekenlang op zee is. Maar langzaamaan begint ze te twijfelen of haar toekomst eigenlijk nog wel in LA ligt, of dat Westport en Brendan misschien toch haar hart veroverd hebben.Een zomer vol verrassingen (In het Engels bekend als It Happened One Summer) is een van de populairste boeken op Booktok, samen met onder andere Twisted love van Ana Huang, Tussen de regels van Lauren Asher, It Ends With Us van Colleen Hoover, en The Love Hypothesis van Ali Hazelwood.
