Okay I loved this, it felt a little slow going for me in the beginning but one it picked up I was hooked, the banter with Taylor and Myles and Taylor and Jude is so good, grumpyxsunshine will always win in my books. Also with any kind of who done it senario I will almost never guess the twist at the end and I had a great time with this, also epilogue? Hilarious I love when things go so awry even the characters are like wtf is happening 🤣
I do immediately need to know what happens with Jude and Dante and I will beg until we get it

It wasn't something wow (which I suppose is pretty clear with my rating). The story was okay, the mystery wasn't gripping. Though I can let the mystery part slide since it's more about the romance than thriller. But neither did I feel any thrill, nor I could actually connect with any of the MCs.
Myles and Taylor were very different characters, but I couldn't understand the justification for Taylor to be suddenly bold and upfront about things, and Myles being all gooey and soft for her. Yes it's a fact that sudden attraction is true for most of the romance novels out there, but unfortunately I couldn't feel their connection.

Overall a lot of people out there might enjoy this book because of the vacation vibes (which BTW I enjoyed and did want to go run on a beach with stars above), the spice parts, and ofcourse the grumpy guy. For some reason it didn't work out for me.

It's a very fluffy read. The spice was satisfactory, the mystery was laughable. Wasn't expecting Agatha Christie but we could have tried a little harder than that. Would have liked some slightly deeper conversations between the main characters, because nobody just switches up their entire lives in 5 days for someone they have barely had a proper conversation with.

This book is just so bad, it’s not worth reading imo. Very badly written. My first TB book and definitely my last.

A gruff bounty hunter using the words “buns” and “tush” to describe her ass? Really Tessa? 😂
