This book was good, but nothing spectacular. Bailey does a good job with writing her morally gray grump MMC and sunshine FMC in this summer rom-com thriller, though the thriller/mystery aspects are lacking between the middle/end of the book. Also, if you’re not a fan of romance books with tons of spice, this is not going to be the book for you. While the relationship built-up was strong throughout the book, it felt like it was more insta-lust, which I wasn’t a fan of. Don’t know if I would read this again, but it’s not terrible.

Really enjoyed reading and I wasn't entirely sure where it would lead to in the end! Did keep me guessing! Really loveable characters too!! Not sure if I would re-read a bunch just because now I do know the ending, but maybe once or twice! Especially to see if I can pick up anything I missed on the first read!

I'm furious at myself for not reading this book sooner. This was the perfect romance, with perfect characters. I could not find flaws in Taylor or Myles, they were both just so amazing. I enjoyed the murder mystery side of things but I also just really enjoyed the cheesy romance and amazing tension. Everything about this book is perfect to me and I refuse to hear any criticism.

Tessa Bailey does it again!! This book is adorable. Taylor and Myles are adorable together and their relationship not only makes sense but it felt like every interaction was magnetic. I usually hate the whole they fall in love in 5 days shit but this book does it right.

Fun enough, but didn’t feel like it had much substance to either the muster or the romance. Forced proximity, insta-lust.

The book is mostly about the sexual tension between the two main characters and switches between their POV. The murder mystery is more a destraction from that.

Spicy grumpy sunshine age gap summer holiday romance with some murder mystery sprinkled in.

I definitely unestimated the amount of spice that would be in this book. I really enjoyed the overall writing and characters, especially how genuinely well developed and written they were. Throughout most of the middle it sorta just turned in to a smutfest (which isn’t the reason I picked this book up) instead of focusing on the murder mystery plot.

However, when the plot picked up near the end and Myles and Taylor accepted their feelings for eachother as well as the resolving murder mystery, I loved it!!
I really loved the ending and their overall relationship dynamic. In general I do wish we got more of an explanation on Jude’s subplot and also less spice bc at times it really didn’t add anything to the plot. Overall i still enjoyed it.
