“I don’t know if it’s possible to fall in love with a man in four days. But if it is, I think I’ve just soundly accomplished that feat with Myles Sumner.”
Taylor Bassey and her beloved brother are supposed to be having a relaxing vacation in sweet, sunny Cape Cod, but discovering a corpse in their rental house has really thrown a wrench into their tanning schedule. Now a rude, crude bounty hunter has arrived on the back of his motorcycle to catch the killer and refuses to believe Taylor can be helpful, despite the countless hours she’s spent listening to true crime podcasts. Not to mention her fulfilling teaching career of wrangling second graders. Myles Sumner is only there to do a job, not babysit an amateur sleuth. Although…it is becoming less and less of a hardship to have Taylor around. Sure, she’s stubborn, distracting and can’t stay out of harm’s way. She’s also brave and beautiful and reminds him of home. In other words, the insatiable hunger and protectiveness she’s awakening is a threat to his peace of mind. Before Myles sinks any deeper into this dangerous attraction, he needs to solve the murder and get back on the road. Only now there are two threats—and the biggest one is to his heart.
This was a fun rom-com and mystery about love, second-chances, being true to yourself and being courageous. I was transported into this wonderful book from the very beginning. I really liked the mystery aspect in the book, it was fun trying to solve the crime along with the characters. Any when I say mystery, I mean very child level mystery. I would not throw this novel in with my mystery/thiller genres. This one was all about the romance with a tiny little guessing game involved, but I loved it. It has your grumpy-sunshine trope and hilarious banter and a sweet romance. I adored this book and found myself cracking up laughing while reading it. 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.
I gave this novel a four star rating. Overall, it’s about being brave, forgiving yourself and second chances. If you are looking for a quick read with lots of spice then this book is for you.
