A nice, quick read. Fluffy romance with just the right amount of spice.

I hate insta-love / insta-lust.
I really did not like the fact that they lusted so much over each other while there is a murder to solve. They get wrapped up in it too much, it looks like it going to end badly blah blah blah. I could have been executed so much better.
I don’t know if I want to try another Tessa Bailey book. As I liked two books by here but also hated two books.

This was a truly interesting read, short and to the point it had a great leading plot of murder mystery with our main characters a bounty hunter and a tourist working together to find the truth.
The forced contact of investigating together brings up a lot of feeling, past and present for our bounty hunter, and present and future for our tourist teacher turned investigator.
Overall I did engage with the storyline and think it was a great storyline, what lost me was the sex fest throughout. It is a Tessa Bailey book so that’s no surprise, but unfortunately it’s not for me so I think it’s unlikely I’ll revisit her books again.

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.
