I devoured this book! The characters are lovable, some laughable moments, and some seriously swoony heart warming ones to top it off. Let’s not forget the perfectly placed and timed, steamy spice that will have you all melting. Not closed doors, a splash of dirty talk, and not all slow, and gentle if you get my drift.
NO dub/non-con, NO OW/OM drama, NO cheating, NO bully romance although this is a grumpy/sunshine trope. He will do anything for her, and is a possessive alpha, broody type but it was written really well and not over done.
it is a HEA.
Very slight age gap. She’s in her mid to late twenties, he’s 34. You really don’t notice it though.
MMC is running from his past but accept this investigative job as a favor for a friend. MFC is on vacation with her brother to be thrown in to the investigation and self discovery of the bravery/confidence she always thought she lacked.
The two characters compliment each other and help each other grow for the better.
This book was a fun read with intrigue, a bit of mystery, and overall a good heart warming romance with a steamy couple. Only downside, I wish we had gotten more on the investigation and insight on the case. We do get some, but it would of been fun to have more of our MFC doing some snooping.
I also would have loved to get more on our MFC. We know she has a distant relationship with her parents and she’s a teacher and a penny pincher, but I would have loved to get more of what she was like at home.
Oh, I also really would have loved a longer epilogue and more on where they end up but honestly the ending was still heart warming and I think this tops in my favorite books for now. It was a happy read and a wonderful step back from the darker romances I have been reading.
Overall I loved this and it’s worth a read!! I plan on reading more from the author.
If you’re interested in the spice, keep reading
Our MFC is doing a little self discovery and has been curious as well as learns she likes things on the rougher side and wants to be dominated.
Our MMC never displays unhealthy/dangerous or toxic behavior in the bedroom and is aware and listens to our MFC in her needs/wants. All consensual and he grants her this safe space to explore her spicy desires.
Our MMC gives her that, and she gives him the emotional/compassion he was missing/needing outside the bedroom and in one steamy scene.
The steam didn’t over power our story at all and was well placed, surprisingly even the public scenes. They were not around other people, but things happened in public setting twice. Our MMC throws in a dash of dirty talk in the bedroom as well.
We have a little slow burn to start with angst and some I eruption before we get to the full deed. We have a few scenes of spice as well.
????️????️????️.5/5 on spice scale, open door.

It’s too late for that now. With Taylor.
I’m a storm of feelings over her.”
Leave it to Tessa Bailey to combine two of my most favorite things, romance and true crime. This book had everything that I love about Tessa’s books and so much more! My Killer Vacation was packed with plenty of laughs, dirty talk, swoon worthy moments, murder mystery and steamy goodness. Her books never disappoint and this book was such an entertaining and steamy romance.
Myles and Taylor’s story had me hooked from the first page to the last! As a fan of the grumpy/sunshine trope, I really enjoyed their love/hate relationship. I also loved their chemistry and instant attraction. Taylor was such a quirky and lovable heroine. Then there’s Myles, the rough and sexy bounty hunter who you can’t help falling in love with. When it comes to dirty talking alpha heroes, no one writes them quite like Tessa and Myles is no exception. The connection and moments between these two were not only scorching hot, they were EVERYTHING! Then the addition of mystery and suspense mixed in made this book even more entertaining. Overall, this book was a hilarious and enjoyable read. If you’re looking for the perfect summer beach read, then My Killer Vacation is the book you won’t want to miss! And I can’t wait to see if we get Jude and Dante’s book.
