Fun enough, but didn’t feel like it had much substance to either the muster or the romance. Forced proximity, insta-lust.

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.

Spicy grumpy sunshine age gap summer holiday romance with some murder mystery sprinkled in.
I definitely unestimated the amount of spice that would be in this book. I really enjoyed the overall writing and characters, especially how genuinely well developed and written they were. Throughout most of the middle it sorta just turned in to a smutfest (which isn’t the reason I picked this book up) instead of focusing on the murder mystery plot.

However, when the plot picked up near the end and Myles and Taylor accepted their feelings for eachother as well as the resolving murder mystery, I loved it!!
I really loved the ending and their overall relationship dynamic. In general I do wish we got more of an explanation on Jude’s subplot and also less spice bc at times it really didn’t add anything to the plot. Overall i still enjoyed it.

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.

Was this book as groundbreaking as some of the reviews led me to believe? No. Was it even good? Debatable.
It did however give me everything I needed from it, and it was a one day read that got me out of a slump.
