My Killer Vacation

Product Information

I love dialogue like this, just something about it has me giggling and blushing like a lunatic. I don't even care that its insta-lust, I usually hate that trope and prefer slow burns but TB really writes this trope so well. The tension, the will they won't they, the final explosion when it becomes too much? >>> inject that shit into my veins. He also keeps going on about how she is wife material and wouldn't want to have rough sex. I didn't know wife material means being vanilla? Different people like different things? You don't have to dress the part to enjoy rough sex? Really makes me wanna throw my panties at your face and let you go full korean buffet on my lower parts. And when it came to that murder mystery—the reason I was so excited for this to begin with—I was disappointed there too. I wanted clues and suspects and red herrings. Instead, the story just eventually revealed the guilty party, without any sort of buildup.

You make me feel safe and protected…But at the same time, you make me feel like I can protect myself. Isn’t that kind of amazing?” She lays kisses along my jawline. “Aren’t you kind of amazing?” 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. Flash forward to a couple chapters later, when Delicate Flowers and Broody Creep start spending a lot of time together -because it's perfectly normal for Delicate Flower to parade around crime scenes like she gifted Horatio Caine his first pair of sunglasses-, and two seconds after they've met, she starts going all femme fatale on him, rebuking to his provocations like a proud teenager who just learnt how to flirt and feeling cool about it. And then there's the typical "they want each other but she wants a relationship and he doesn't so they shouldn't be together but they are oh so attracted to each other that they just can't help it" until they eventually admit their feelings and solve the mystery. Hurray. I haven't had the best time with previous TB new releases, it seems like everyone and their dog loved It Happened One Summer, but not me. Although I liked both main characters, their choices/how the book progressed in the final third of the book weren't enjoyable for me. But this book right here? This belongs in the TB hall of fame.So yeah, 3/5. Didn't hate it, but also not crazy about it either and will probably forget all about this book tomorrow. When she found the dead body she didn't panic, she used her intuition and found some evidence, she put herself in Myles's path and forced him to notice her (although she didn't have to try very hard, her bikini top and shorts did all the talking), she took control of her own sexuality and demanded Myles to show her what it's like to have the type of sex she dreamed of. She never once pushed Myles to change instead, she allowed him to open his own eyes and dream of more! Not to mention this girl was comedy gold, I just loved her with my whole heart. I feel hollowed out. Am I now proceeding with caution when it comes to Tessa Bailey? Yes. The trust has somewhat been fractured. 🥲 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. Taylor is a second grade teacher who wants to have a relaxing vacation with her brother in Cape Cod. When they arrive at the rental house the owners dead body is discovered. So much for a relaxing vacation 🙃! Taylor immediately is determined to help solve the mystery. Myles, who is a bounty hunter, is on the case and really does not want Taylor’s help. He acts all grumpy and annoyed with her but cannot seem to stay away from her. Will they be able to solve the murder?

Taylor although a bit quirky, is quite humourous and likable. She perceives herself as the serious, responsible type adult but reality is something else (not in an annoying way). She's a total romantic at heart and doesn't shy away from what she wants. But the way she babies her brother (who's twenty three btw) was a bit much. 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. 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.it was almost too obvious for i, a professional in watching true crime documentaries like i'm getting paid to do it 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. If you’re looking for more rom-com books similar to It Happened One Summer, Sarah Hogle’s debut novel, You Deserve Each Other is the perfect next read. 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.
