​An all-new, spicy murder mystery from Tessa Bailey, #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Happened One Summer...

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?

READ MY BOOK REVIEW

​I really wanted to love this one because I enjoy both romantic comedies and mysteries, but I just couldn’t get into it. I think it’s because it reminded me of the Stephanie Plum series but with spice and ultimately that made me find it sort of “blah”. Don’t get me wrong, I love this author’s work and the inclusion of humor was great, but it honestly felt a little forced for me. Now just because it wasn’t the book for me doesn’t mean it won’t be for someone else. I know there are many readers who adored this one so make sure to check out their reviews too especially if you’re looking for a summer read (this takes place in Cape Cod)!
