Editorial Reviews

“Tessa Bailey is the undisputed queen of sexy romcoms, and never ever disappoints!” — Ali Hazelwood, # 1 New York Times bestselling author

"Tessa Bailey is in a league of her own. She has mastered the perfect balance of heart, hilarity, and of course, heat. Elijah and Addison are such a special duo--built on snark, sweetness, and a genuine friendship. Beat for beat, Getaway Girl, is pure romance perfection." — Lyla Sage, New York Times Bestselling Author of Lost and Lassoed

“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

“Nothing makes my heart catch fire like a Tessa Bailey book. She is all things magic and dirty talk.”  — Elena Armas, New York Times bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception

“Bailey writes banter and rom-com scenarios with aplomb, but for those who like their romance on the spicier side, she’s also the Michelangelo of dirty talk. She wields filth like Da Vinci does a paintbrush, and there’s a lot to be said for an author who can fill such exchanges with all the requisite heat, enthusiastic consent, and yes, even humor, of such a scenario without veering into corny territory.”
— Entertainment Weekly
