๐Hallie Welch has been crushing on Julian Vos since they almost kissed one night during her freshman year of high school. That was 15 years ago. When Julian returns home to his family's vineyard on a sabbatical from his ivy league school to write a novel, Hallie concocts a plan to revamp the gardens on the Vos estate so she can either fall in love for real or move on with her life. Only, real-life Julian is not at all who she imagined. Julian is a studious and structured College Professor who irons his socks and plans every detail of his day down to the minute. Hallie is a chaotic and impulsive landscaper who is chronically late and plans absolutely nothing. But you know what they say... Opposites attract!
๐ญSecretly Yours was my most anticipated rom-com of 2023 and it did not disappoint. I loved these characters and their quirks so much. The romantic setting of a small town vineyard and ooof, the dirty talk ๐ฅต!
Tessa has a way of harnessing her character's perceived flaws and incorporating themes of grief, loss, anxiety and body positivity in such a lighthearted and relatable way.

A big thank you to @nicolawoods_hc and @harpercollinsaustralia for sending me an early copy of Secretly Yours! And to the lovely @racheal_reads & @reading.adventures.with.rach for buddy reading with me ๐
I can't wait for book two (Unfortunately Yours) which focuses on Julian's sister, Natalie in a marriage of convenience trope! Bring on June 1st ๐
Secretly Yours is OUT NOW! And is the perfect Valentine's read for fans of Tessa Bailey's Bellinger Sister series!
