Really enjoyed reading and I wasn't entirely sure where it would lead to in the end! Did keep me guessing! Really loveable characters too!! Not sure if I would re-read a bunch just because now I do know the ending, but maybe once or twice! Especially to see if I can pick up anything I missed on the first read!

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.

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

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.
