Tessa Bailey

My Killer Vacation

A bit tacky but cute quick read overall. Not horrible but this book wasn’t for me. It was a bit cringe, a bit over the top, a bit immature for me. The ending was sweet though and I liked the main murder mystery at the plots center. 2/5 stars, wouldn’t really recommend though.

Absolutely loved from start to finish, no notes.

Pleasantly surprised that even though this had a thriller aspect it was still heavy on the spice and romance per a usual Tessa Bailey.

My first romantic suspense and I think it may be my new thing! I loved the collaboration of my two favorite book genres. Crime and passion? Mhmm, I’ll have more please. 

tropes: Tessa’s signature grumpy X sunshine, age gap (not super prominent though), instalust 

I will say this is not some serious suspenseful novel where you are trying to figure out whodunit and all the ins and outs. This is more of a life hearted crime story with more passion than anything. Easy read you’ll want to binge because the chemistry between these two characters, Taylor and Myles, is explosive.

I absolutely adored Taylor’s brother, Jude, and all his comedic relief. Just when things were getting too serious here comes Jude to get a laugh. 

Overall, lover of true crime and can take this for an unrealistic adventure of a bounty hunter fueled by passion and a past he’s trying to forget? This is for you. 

Listen. Tessa just knows what’s she’s doing!!

I’m gonna say 4.5 stars! I really enjoyed it…cute story, a lot of 🌶…however it’s insta love in a span of only 5 days. I think if it was more of a slow burn, it’d get 5 stars for sure

Perfect hot and heavy beach read with a little murder mystery story line. I couldn’t put it down and now I’m wondering where in the world I’m going to find another book like it.

Personally i felt the conection between them really rushed and there were moments were the feelings didn't felt real cause it all happened in a matter of a week and sudendly he changed his personality and his life style just so that it would fit with what she wanted in a relashionship. I think that if they'd had more time getting to know each other as friends and not boyfriend & girlfriend it could've been better but overall it was good.

Tessa Bailey is truly the queen of romance novels. This was perfectly funny, banter-filled, and spicy! It had such a fun time trying to solve the mystery alongside the characters while also following their love story. I do enjoy the Bellinger Sister duology more, so I couldn’t rate it as high, but still enjoyable and definitely worth the read!

There were a lot of things I liked about this. Firstly, the use of the grumpy/sunshine trope was perfection. I couldn't stop laughing at the banter between Taylor and Myles. Secondly, the chemistry between them was off the charts. Bailey never disappoints when it comes to the relationship between her characters, and this one was no exception. It did feel insta-lovey, but I didn't mind so much. Thirdly, I loved the setting. I enjoyed the idea of this murder mystery unfolding in this beachside vacation town. That said, there were also many things I didn't like. I thought the dynamic between Taylor and her brother was weird and didn't love how she treated him like a child when he was a grown man. Even though I liked her relationship with Myles, there were times I found him way too overprotective to the point where it was like, "Me, Tarzan. You, Jane." Bailey also beats into the ground how much bigger Myles is than Taylor. We get it, he's very tall, and she's very short (though it led to a cute nickname.) I also didn't understand the timeline. It seemed like so much was happening it should've taken longer than five days. Overall, I liked it and thought it felt like a steamier Lifetime movie, but it wasn't my favorite of hers.

Have I ever given a Tessa Bailey book less than 5 stars? Nope, and I don’t plan on that changing soon. By far my favorite book she’s written.
