On a hunch, I'd go with no, but I'm a practical person who's also a closeted dreamer, and I like to think we're all redeemable, somehow. Disappointed but not surprised. Things just aren't looking good since my least favorite Tessa Bailey books have started to outnumber my favorite Tessa Bailey books. He is the NO commitment guy, he calls her bridezilla, but he finds himself deeply and emotionally attracted to her and he tries to avoid those feelings the entire book.

myles summer (H) meets taylor (h) when she discovers the body of her temporary landlord in the vacation home she was renting. myles was hired by the victims brother-in-law (also myles’s friend) to investigate the murder.

myles did this out of a favor, being that he was a former detective (turned bounty hunter). taylor basically interjects herself into his investigation, leaving him literally no choice 🥰 Should I be turned on by this? Am I rooting for this relationship? Did Tessa Bailey write this because the supposed overall tone of this book is seemingly over-the-top, thus it was done for humour’s sake? Never laughed harder in my life than them getting interrupted every time they came close to having sex. We readers are immediately informed that he's NEVER felt like this before. Never been so attracted to another woman, never wanted another oyster like he craves hers.

The chemistry between Taylor and Miles was sooo hot 🥵!! Their connection and understanding of what the other person needed was incredible. I loved how they were honest and communicated like adults. In all fairness, I do think Tessa Bailey had the potential to write a good mystery romance as this combination is not something we often had. I started the book with the hope that I will come around to enjoy this especially after being so disappointed with Hannah and Fox's story — owing to the fact that Tessa Bailey knows how to hook her reader. It always felt like you're being enchanted and this book is no less the same.

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??

Fun fact: I felt less uncomfortable when I read Fifty Shades of Grey. Let's be clear: most of the time Myles doesn't think with his brain, but what the hell were those thoughts while they were having sex?! If a guy would express these types of thoughts in such moment I’d just disappear from his life, end of the story. Myles is so ... not attractive? He steals her panties and she's like cool with it. With this stranger stealing her underwear fifteen minutes after meeting. please, the way tanaz asked me, while i was reading this, if i liked brendan (from it happened one summer) or myles better and i go…“who’s brendan?” But all the things I can say about this novel - the narrative, the descriptions, the characters - fade away in comparison to the true meaning of the story: sex.Taylor's character growth was one of my favorite things about this book. So far she's lived a very safe and boring life, with her routine of being a teacher and dating boring financial bros who are 2 pump vanilla chumps in the bedroom.

On the other side, the sister of the murder victim hires a bounty hunter to privately investigate the case, and in enters the scene one Myles Sumner, a 6'5 mean machine nomad that lives by his own rules. When Taylor finds Myles, not only do sparks fly but so do her gut instincts that there is more to this case and the two inevitably end up working together (much to Myles's dismay) whilst he desperately tries to stay out of Taylor's red hook up panties.Jude is amazing at anything water-related,” I say, patting his arm. “There’s no reason we have to let a broken window ruin his vacation.” that insta-lust to insta-love journey over five days is wild but what's even more wild is every single myles chapter. usually i'm screaming at the top of my lungs for dual pov. in this case - i would beg the author to get rid of the myles chapters. the writing also ain't it and i have zero hopes for this murder mystery tbh. i should have learned my lesson with Verity because thriller/mystery and romance do not mix well
