Hook, Line, and Sinker

I enjoyed the premise of Hook, Line and Sinker. Tessa Bailey is great at beginnings and I was ‘hooked' ;) quickly. Fox's struggle pulled me in right away and Hannah was the perfect compliment to him. It was a unique take on masculine expectation, and I love that Bailey chose to emphasize this.
I'm not sure what happened... maybe Bailey wasn't confident with her premise? Because it seemed like a third of the narrative was an explanation of the character's psychology instead of touching base with where the characters were at every now and then and just letting the scenario play out. About two thirds of the way through when the narrative switched to internal reflection I began to skim until dialogue hit, because it was apparent enough where they were at from the ‘action'. Good book! Glad I read it.
