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.

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.

Some phrasing was mildly cheesy but overall cute mystery/romance and I loved it.
