Publisher's Summary

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From Tessa Bailey#1 New York Times bestselling author, TikTok favorite, and "the Michelangelo of dirty talk" (Entertainment Weekly)comes a spicy small town rom-com about a grumpy professor and the bubbly neighbor he clashes with at every turn...

Hallie Welch fell hard for Julian Vos at fourteen, after they almost kissed in the dark vineyards of his family’s winery. Now the prodigal hottie has returned to Napa Valley, and when Hallie is hired to revamp the gardens on the Vos estate, she wonders if she'll finally get that smooch. But the starchy professor isn’t the teenager she remembers and their polar opposite personalities clash spectacularly.

One wine-fueled girls’ night later, Hallie can’t shake the sense that she did something reckless—and then she remembers the drunken secret admirer letter she left for Julian. Oh shit.

On sabbatical from his ivy league job, Julian plans to write a novel. But having Hallie gardening right outside his window is the ultimate distraction. She’s eccentric, chronically late, often literally covered in dirt—and so unbelievably beautiful, he can’t focus on anything else. Until he finds an anonymous letter sent by a woman from his past.

Even as Julian wonders about this admirer, he’s sucked further into Hallie’s orbit. Like the flowers she plants all over town, Hallie is a burst of color in Julian’s grayscale life. For a man who irons his socks and runs on tight schedules, her sunny chaotic energy makes zero sense. But there’s something so familiar about her... and her very presence is turning his world upside down.

"Tessa Bailey is the queen of rom-coms. Long may she reign!"—Julie Murphy, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Merry Little Meet Cute

Underwhelming

Light and fluffy. Easy to fall asleep to and still pick up from any point in the story. Got boring towards the end.

Obsessive crush = romance?

I couldn't get past a 29 year old woman not having moved on from a high school crush. Her lack of life experience or even dating history was not endearing to me.

Secretly Yours

I was super excited to listen to Secretly Yours, I’m a huge Tessa Bailey fan and I really enjoyed this one. It’s not often that I have a giggle during a book and this one had me laughing throughout, it was quirky, cute and gave me all the feels. 💗

I absolutely loved Halle

The main FMC is what sunshine as a person would be and I absolutely loved her. She was so real and believable. The story telling was lovely and enjoyable. Predictable story but I didn’t mind it one bit. The narrator was easy and encompassing to listen to.

Least favourite Tessa Bailey book unfortunately

I really wanted to like it as I enjoy her others, but I found the characters quite cringey at times. I had to skip over parts and struggled to finish it.

mostly boring, irritating narrator

found I preferred her Brit friend - dialogue was funnier at least, and narrator less irritating for her voice. main characters just didn't do it for me, but mostly female lead, too much unnecessary angst and introspection.

I loved it!

I rarely write reviews because others have generally expressed my thoughts. I’m writing this one because there were more negative reviews than positive and I heartily disagree. I loved the colour and energy of every character in the story and I’m so excited to see Natalie and August’s story is next. While the happy ending is predictable - thank goddess! - I was enchanted by the journey with many unexpected incidents along the way. The lovemaking scenes were sexy and passionate. The themes of self-exploration and personal growth are empowering for my own life. IMHO the narrator was perfect. I hope you enjoy Secretly Yours as much as I did.
