Who would have though I'd enjoy a bit of romance, spicy, and sexual tense in my murder mystery book lol. I really enjoyed the characters in this book, very well developed.  I also loved the good girl breaking down the bad boy to find his soft center and the bad boy bringing out the good girls brave and reckless side.

• Dual POV

• 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.

It’s an interesting premise, but ultimately, the characters felt more like caricatures than real people. It was an enjoyable read, but I found myself skimming parts because they were too cliche or insta-love. If you want a cute rom-com, it’s okay, but if you’re looking for mystery, that is definitely not its strength.

also what happens to Jude and the movie star??? Is this a spin off??? I need more information
