About this deal

Overall I did mostly enjoy this and I think this is honestly more of a me problem in that RHs are very hit or miss for me and tend to work more when they are set far far far away from regular life in mafia or fantasy situations than in real life New York. i'm not gonna dunk on this one too hard since it was written essentially for tiktok and was indie published (which i'm coming to find for tessa bailey means a little less care taken with the romantic storytelling). but i do feel like if you're given free rein to write raunchy shit you should make it a little interesting. not to call double penetration commonplace, but i did find myself skimming the multitude of sex scenes here.

Happenstance - Kindle edition by Bailey, Tessa. Contemporary

The pacing, oh boy, this whole book takes place in maybe no more than 2 weeks? How can a woman who is a self proclaimed “commitment-phobe” fall in love with three men in that short amount of time? Don’t get me started on the men, they ‘were completely changed’ since meeting her. “She was put in our paths to make all of us better. And we were put in hers, so we can worship her for it.” The conflict also happened WAYYYYY too close to the end, besides the fact that I could have told you what the conflict was less than 10% into the book, it made for a rushed resolution. Elise is working in the kitchen delivering sandwiches to the reporters in the office and pitches some ideas to Karina, the managing editor, to have Karina give Elise a chance to write something. Elise has never gone to journalism school, and all the writers at Gotham Times have gone though journalism school and have a master’s degree and years of experience. She’s said and I quote “I’m not cut out for long hauls. I’d make it though one year of journalism school, tops. Forget about a master’s. I don’t have that kind of dedication inside me.” She got he job delivering sandwiches to the writers in hopes of skipping all the steps and just getting to where she wants to go. As to be expected from a Tessa Bailey book - this was a fun ride - sweet, spicy, and the perfect stress reliever for me during exam week. The guys... Tobias is a former porn star, Banks is a rugby coach, and Gabe is a construction worker. For whatever reason, they're instantly drawn to her, as she is to them. The whole thing was insta-lust times a million, and we're never given a clear reason why these guys want her so much. It's just–there. Because there would be no book otherwise. That’s a shame. He drags his full bottom lip through his teeth. "I’d love to give it to you." I’ve seen what he wants to give me. Many times. It’s very photogenic.I’m a Banks girl 4 life but all of the men were fantastic & you really can feel the chemistry with this group grow chapter by chapter. I’M OBSESSED TESSA IS A GOD. This is a book about three men simping HARDCORE over a commitment-phobe woman and it was delicious. Listen, I loved Banks & Gabe, but Tobias was my absolutely fave!! He made me laugh & the dirty mouth on him was perfection. He’s my kinda guy right there heh.

I went through a ringer of emotion reading this star of a book; I laughed, I swooned, I squirmed uncomfortably, I simply devoured it. From No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of It Happened One Summer comes a romantic comedy about an accidental relationship between three smitten men . . . and one commitment phobic woman. Gabe is a sweet, kinda dumb, gigantic teddy bear. He’s also a premature ejaculator. TB thought this was important enough to be reminded of. Constantly. How does one go from being one of my most anticipated releases to being one of the biggest disappointments of the year? Honestly I don’t know but this takes the cake. Y’all don’t understand how heartbreaking it is to say that, I (usually) love Tessa’s work and I love Why Choose Romances, immediately I suspected that this would be right up my alley and I would LOVE this. This was quite possibly one of the worst why choose romances I’ve ever read (and I’ve read A LOT of why choose romances).An hour later, everything has changed. By pure happenstance, four separate journeys have collided in an intense, meaningful way. Suddenly, disentangling their lives feels more impossible than winning that Pulitzer. Good thing Elise is too busy proving herself at work to consider three boyfriends. Nobody has time for that— even if they make giving in feel oh so right. But three heads are better than one and these loners will teach themselves to work together to win Elise over forever… Elise Brandeis has never won a Pulitzer - and she never will. At least not while she's delivering sandwiches at the Gotham Times, instead of working there as an actual reporter. Her only shot at seeing her byline in print is to prove to the no-nonsense managing editor that she has a nose for news. And she's got just the story to grab her elusive attention. All of this being said, no, I don’t recommend this book and if you do not want to be extremely disappointed with a highly anticipated release like I was, I would skip this one.

Elise Brandeis has never won a Pulitzer – and she never will. At least not while she’s delivering sandwiches at the Gotham Times, instead of working there as an actual reporter. Her only shot at seeing her byline in print is to prove to the no-nonsense managing editor that she has a nose for news. And she’s got just the story to grab her elusive attention. Banks is a stoic, no nonsense, grump who ends up being boring as all get out. Which is a shame because he had so much potential to be fire. Elise Brandeis has never won a Pulitzer—and she never will.

And she's got just the story to grab her elusive attention.The pacing, the humor, the romance, the character development, all of it was utter perfection. It was one of those reads where you can just shut your brain off and enjoy something that just absorbs you completely. And no one delivers that better than Tessa Bailey. So then I thought, ok, well maybe it's just going to be very hot and I'll accept it as erotica. But then the cringe keeps on coming, the insta-love gets even worse, and the sex scenes were laughable. Her doing it with three guys at once is not even a little sexy because they keep saying the STUPIDEST things and it just doesn't work. I'm going to keep this shorter than usual and spoiler-free so as not to ruin it for anyone who wants to read it. Keep in mind this is my personal opinion.

I loved that she took this book & tried something new…and CRUSHED IT. Definitely her hottest book to date! READ IT YALL.

Gabe makes me wish for lazy Sunday mornings in bed with coffee and the smell of cinnamon in the kitchen. Sweet. Tobias is Saturday night. Strobe lights and moaning and…that tipsy feeling, like if you have one more drink, you’ll be sorry.” “And me?” “You are…” I swallow. Being open and honest to someone about how I feel on the inside is harder than I remember. I’ve been out of practice so long. “You’re real life. The place where I’m in my pattern and feel safe. You’re not a detour, you’re a path forward.” Elise Brandeis has never won a Pulitzer—and she never will. At least not while she’s delivering sandwiches at the Gotham Times , instead of working there as an actual reporter. Her only shot at seeing her byline in print is to prove to the no nonsense managing editor that she has a nose for news. And she’s got just the story to grab her elusive attention.
