I love Tessa Bailey but it turns out I don’t love all her books. This was another nope for me. I finished the book but won’t be keeping it on my shelf to recommend to friends. 

I didn’t love Myles and how possessive he immediately became over Taylor. And I hated how demure and meek Taylor was. 

And I hated the public sex scenes. 

Just wasn’t my cuppa tea.

I hate insta-love / insta-lust. 
I really did not like the fact that they lusted so much over each other while there is a murder to solve. They get wrapped up in it too much, it looks like it going to end badly blah blah blah. I could have been executed so much better. 
I don’t know if I want to try another Tessa Bailey book. As I liked two books by here but also hated two books.

This was a truly interesting read, short and to the point it had a great leading plot of murder mystery with our main characters a bounty hunter and a tourist working together to find the truth.  

The forced contact of investigating together brings up a lot of feeling, past and present for our bounty hunter, and present and future for our tourist teacher turned investigator. 

Overall I did engage with the storyline and think it was a great storyline, what lost me was the sex fest throughout.  It is a Tessa Bailey book so that’s no surprise, but unfortunately it’s not for me so I think it’s unlikely I’ll revisit her books again.
