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.

I really loved this book. I mean it’s Tessa Bailey so I usually adore anything she writes but this might be my favorite of all her books. I loved how it combined my two favorite genres romance and mystery. It was well done and the spice was “chefs kisses 😘”. Great book definitely recommend you read it

As a big Tessa Bailey fan, I couldn’t wait to dig into another of her books. Don’t get me wrong, the comedic moments were great (Jude being prime example as the comedic character) and the spice! In my opinion, I think it needed holding off just a bit as there was no build up of the tension between the characters and with all the spice, the plot got lost in the background. This book is definitely insta-love but also insta-LUST. 

This book moved very quick and so I felt like a lot could have been built upon but wasn’t. There were a few moments where I did cringe (looking at you chapter 4)!

I adored Jude and wanted even more - I wanted to know more about him and Dante and that whole situation. Both Myles and Taylor did annoy me at times and as it was so rushed, I didn’t connect with their relationship as well as I usually would. I got lust vibes and not so much romance until the last third of the book. I don’t mind insta-love but with this all happening over 5 days, it was TOO instant. 

Overall, I think this book has a lot of potential, but think it just needed a little more attention to detail (quite a few grammar mistakes that made it a little harder to read) and time.
