This was my first (and will not be my last) Tessa Bailey book. 

I won't lie, I bought this book purely on the hype it was getting for smut on booktok. I have no shame admitting that. 

But, I am sticking around because Tessa Bailey managed to give a huge amount of smut while still keeping me fully engaged in the mystery that was unfolding. I NEEDED to know who was responsible. There was enough crumbs left to have my wheels turning and my suspect list growing. I was practically Sherlock Holmes by the time I was done. 

Taylor and Myles were there perfect Grumpy/Sunshine pair up and I loved seeing their relationship shift. 

If you dont like spicy romances, this will not be the book for you. It certainly is not complex, it has a simple plot and loveable characters and is an easy read that I loved.

idk why forced myself to finish this book?? the mystery wasn't even 5% of the story and the rest was them having sex and being immature about their relationship. should've decided to dnf the moment myles refer himself as daddy but it was near the end... at least now i know who the killer is

• Dual POV
• Forced proximity
• Sunshine Grump
• Age gap
• Murder mystery
• Insta-love
• “Touch her and I’ll kill you” vibes

• BANTER!
• Nickname 🙌🏻
• Epilogue 😍

I snort. “Do I look like the kind of guy who goes on ice cream dates, half pint?”
“No,” she sighs. “I guess you don’t.”
We walk in silence for a few seconds. “What flavour are you getting?”

Tessa Bailey's Alpha males are not exactly my cup of tea, but this IS a fun romp and a fun, light read before going back to work.
