🏝My Killer Vacation 🏝
This book is one of my top reads of the year without a doubt, I’ve devoured this in 24 hours and loved every second of it! I will now be collecting all of @tessabaileyisanauthor back catalogue! Without doubt a 5 ⭐️ read for me, it’s smutty, romantic, funny and equally suspenseful and mysterious!
