It was supposed to be a relaxing vacation in sweet, sunny Cape Cod—just me and my beloved brother—but discovering a corpse in our rental house really throws a wrench into our tanning schedule. Now a rude, crude bounty hunter has arrived on the back of his motorcycle to catch the killer and refuses to believe I can be helpful, despite countless hours of true crime podcast listening. Not to mention a fulfilling teaching career of wrangling second graders. A brash bounty hunter and an energetic elementary schoolteacher: the murder-solving team no one asked for, but thanks to these pesky attempts on my life, we're stuck together, come hell or high tide. I'm just here to do a job, not babysit an amateur sleuth. Although… it is becoming less and less of a hardship to have her around. Sure, she's stubborn, distracting and can't stay out of harm's way. She's also brave and beautiful and reminds me of the home I left behind three years ago. In other words, the painful hunger and protectiveness she is waking up in me is a threat to my peace of mind. Before I sink any deeper into this dangerous attraction, I need to solve this murder and get back on the road. But will fate take her from me before I realize the road has been leading to her all along?

uggggggg I really wanted to love this but i’m honestly pretty disappointed. the setting being cape cod was cute but in the first chapter it said “IN cape cod” when locals know it’s “ON cape cod.” that was hard to ignore and i’m surprised that didn’t come up in research lol. the other mass parts were decent, the shoutout to worcester was cool and the drive time of 2 hours from falmouth to woo seemed accurate. back to the actual story, the level of insta-love was simply absurd. the murder mystery stuff was cute but felt forced (and I figured out who did it like half way through). i felt like i really had to fight to get through this book. I haaaaated that it was 50/50 dual pov. I just really didn’t like myles. his narration gave me an icky feeling. (she has nice tits. we get it. for the love of god move on.) I didn’t really connect with the fmc either. I finished this book literally 3 minutes ago and i’ve already forgotten her name. I usually notice more character arc and personal growth in tessa bailey’s books but this one just really missed the mark for me. the 11th hour breakup and make-up was annoying. also the spice was not up to her usual standards, so that was a bummer. will most likely still read more of her books but this one missed the mark
