Never will I ever... ever... say anything bad about Tessa. Her writing speaks for itself. And no matter how many books she keeps on writing, and what tropes she writes, I will always be reading them and fall hard. Over and over again. Taylor and Myles here are no exception. Not one tiny, hot, scorching, panty stealing, bit! My gosh, when I tell you that the spice is there... THE SPICE IS THERE🌶!! And alongside the murder mystery aspect to it, Tessa always brings the term rom-com to the best level. Dear God, how did I get to a fertility doctor?❞ - WE LOVE AN UNHINGED MAN WHO OVERTHINKS ABOUT THE FUTURE, TRYING TO ADD 2+2 AND SOMEHOW GETTING 800 🙏🏽🙏🏽😭😭

I really wanted to finish this book so I could write a proper rant-view for it, but I don't hate myself enough to force myself to go through another 70% of it, so...DNF, meet My Killer Vacation. I think Myles might just be the horniest character I’ve ever had the displeasure of encountering in a book, and that’s saying something. Maybe this wouldn’t be an issue if there wasn’t A MURDER TO SOLVE! Get your head in the game dude. The horndog came across as really creepy in my opinion. And Taylor uses racially-coded language when describing Myles, saying he looks like a “criminal” and a “gorilla” on separate instances early in the book. This book is filled with the most flawed characters, hence making it the most perfect, angst-filled, and realistic love story.Don’t think of her wrapping her thighs tighter, tilting her hips and praising me for my healthy swimmers.” why was he so unsettling from the start?? he was stealing her panties on DAY ONE?? and not like oh she left them at his place. he STOLE HER UNDIES and then left his business card. taylor; i have not much things to say about her. i liked her but not adored her, she is just cute and trying to get out of her comfort zone and be brave. but also the way he would simp after her omfghdjfuwjx. since he’s always on the road bounty hunting and she has a stable job along with him not thinking he’s relationship material…he gets these confusing thoughts about a future with her. the way letting go of her hand was like climbing Mt. Everest— This is more of a insta-lovish trope but I didn´t mind it that much here, we still got a bit of tension out of it.

I have to let go of her hand to reach for my wallet, but I keep an eye on it as I pay for the ice cream, so I can collect it again as soon as possible. I don't think it's a bad story, I didn't dislike it, but when you close the book and think of what you’ve just read you realise it wasn't that good. Myles is not that hot and Taylor is a caricature of the classic good girl. Because of course, crime scenes and investigation files are known to be open to anyone who wants to lend a hand. I´d take a bullet between the eyes before I raised a hand to you, Taylor. The fact that you have to spend a second in pain makes me want to die. Are those the kind of words you´re talking about?"Never laughed harder in my life than them getting interrupted every time they came close to having sex. There are a tons of things I could list that made this (the bit I've read, anyway) so unenjoyable, but I think the biggest chunks of guilt belong to the mystery plot (pretend I just used the most gargantuan air quotes you've ever seen, here) and the main characters. First of all, I'm not a fan of the love-at-first-sight trope because being good-looking doesn't necessarily mean you're attractive. What will happen when you'll get old and you'll start having grey hair and your boobs won't be the same? I'll tell you: divorce.

And that’s a wrap on my list of 15 books like It Happened One Summer. If you like Tessa Bailey books, this list of romances will peak your interest. This wasn't bad. I had swore off Tessa Bailey books because of her writing style and how cringy her s&x scenes were, THEN she decided to put out a murder mystery and I love stuff like that. I decided to give her a second chance. This was a fun rom-com and mystery about love, second-chances, being true to yourself and being courageous. Taylor is a second-grade teacher who wants to have a relaxing vacation in Cape Cod with her brother, but when a dead body is found in the rental house Taylor's plans change. Taylor wants to help solve the mystery, but the bounty hunter, Myles who is on the case doesn't think that Taylor can help. Will Taylor and Myles solve the crime? Will Taylor help Myles believe in love again? And it has to be a cliché, or what is even the point? Myles is tall and grumpy, but so sweet on the inside; Taylor is short and cute - so cute -, but she's also smoking hot and she wants a Man. This man meets her, and immediately thinks about her in sexual scenarios, but it's not even that, it's that it's not sexy, and it's supposed to be sexy, since this is a romance novel.

which brings me to another point: why doesn't she just talk to her finance guys about wanting to be killed during sex??? it's not that hard?? she could tell Myles five seconds into their first conversation? just tell your partners?? have you heard of Communication??? straight people?? are you good?? A spicy murder mystery from Tessa Bailey, New York Times bestselling author of It Happened One Summer . . . Yes, that’s what I meant.❞ - please this girl is so down bad for her brother that she forgot who PAID for the vacation 😭 petition to change Taylor's career into being a caretaker for her brother. I've stopped reading after they started getting too fond of each and the unsexiest dirty talk made an appearence once again, so I can't tell you if it got better after this. Here's what's difficult: she is getting better and less cringe as time goes by when it comes to romance, but for a muder mystery? This was so so incredibly and torturously:
