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.

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.

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.

4.0

Loved how fast-moving and engaging it was. Those are always good indicators of me enjoying and fully engaging with a book.

I also liked how it was kind of a combination of romance, thriller and crime which are my top 3 favourite genres. But that said, the crime/thriller aspect was a bit lacking but it’s understandable, considering the romance part is probably the main gist of the story.

However, it was a tad too spicy for me. I don’t mind smut but this one was downright dirty. It made me uncomfortable that every single interaction was almost purely sexual and 100% ends with sex. Kind of crazy that they did so many types of sex in a variety of places in a mere 300-page book - that just goes to show how much they did it.

The story itself was pretty enjoyable but I personally would have liked it more if they focused more on the emotional aspects of the relationship as opposed to the physical.
