An all-new, spicy murder mystery from Tessa Bailey, 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 insatiable 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?

Laugh out loud funny and spectacularly spicy, My Killer Vacation has the best of both worlds 🌶 this book has a plot full of mystery and intrigue, and vivid characters that I was invested in!
My Killer Vacation is a brilliant testament to Tessa Bailey’s skill as a writer (and hopeful writing a RH soon pls 😉) and the ability to read the minds of her tens of thousands of fans - giving us the perfect combination of sweet and smutty ❤️
Second grade teacher Taylor lives a sensible and safe life… until the dead body of her holiday rental’s landlord turns up dead, forcing her to finally be brave.
Intimidating and tormented, Myles is the grumpy bounty Hunter hired to investigate the murder. He and Taylor are polar opposites… but somehow their attraction is instant and just makes sense.
As Myles’ investigation progresses, the sexual tension between him and Taylor skyrockets.
So who did kill Oscar? And what will happen after the killer is caught and the investigation is over?

The central premise is Taylor and Myles relationship with the two main characters brought together through the circumstances surrounding a mysterious death of a local landlord. However, the murder mystery is definitely a lesser focus. The story has enough elements of the investigation to keep the story arc flowing but too much to hinder the reader's enjoyment of the vast array of characters in this story. And if you've read any of Tessa Bailey's stories before, you'll know she's great at writing characters--their development, personalities, relationships between families and friends.
If you enjoy the sunshine/grump trope--which is probably my all-time favourite trope--then you'll enjoy My Killer Vacation. Taylor is a vibrant elementary schoolteacher by day and true crime podcast listener by night. She exudes sunshine and hope for a wonderful summer holiday that she's planned for brother and herself. Then there is Myles. He is the giant, gruff, rough-around-the-edges bounty hunter investigating the murder as a favour to a friend. He may not initially believe in love at first sight, but he certainly falls victim to lust at first sight the moment he sets eyes on Taylor.
I really loved this book and all of its elements. Taylor and Myles were so much fun to read about and I enjoyed seeing both become their true selves together. There was definitely an underlying message throughout this book about not judging a book by its cover too. By that I mean, there was more to Taylor that the prim and proper schoolteacher vibes she gave off and, likewise, there was more to Myles than the burly, stern, alphahole presence he showed.
Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys beach reads/summer holidays-type of stories, fans of Bailey's previous books, and readers wanting light romantic suspense.
Loved this book, read the whole thing in 1 day. Didn't want to put it down. Taylor and Myles chemistry is HOT! loved the little twists and turns and their travels to self discovery. 10 out of 10 stars!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥

But it's an amazing book definitely recommended.
Planning to reread again now that I've finished it
Yep, so flipping close to a fiver.

I loved this.
A fast paced, intriguing, incredibly sexy and quick read that’s full of that impeccable Tessa humour we know and adore.
The last line hit me right in the feels by the way. 😩
The murder mystery aspect was a major plot point, however I feel like the development of Myles and Taylor’s relationship was at the forefront.
(There’s a scene, in a parking lot that I must give a shout-out too… 😱🥵🫠)
My minor negatives:
- the murder mystery sort of lost its pizazz by the end and the reveal was a little anticlimactic for me.
- it’s a little insta love and I wish the story was spanned over a few weeks, as opposed to a few days… just for that relatability/believability aspect.
𝙸𝙽 𝚂𝙰𝚈𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝚃𝙷𝙸𝚂 - I honestly did adore the book and I will read it again.
It was fun, playful, full of banter and even a little thrill every now and then.
Did I mention that it is 𝚂𝙿𝙸𝙲𝚈? 🌶
Look into the trigger warnings if sensitive to certain topics. Also know I do not recommend for under 18+.
Tessa = Auto Buy.

That being said, I genuinely loved the banter between Myles and Taylor. I loved Jude - and am dying to know what the deal is with him and Dante.
The chemistry and spice were so good. But Tessa, girl, if you're gonna have a character call himself Daddy in a spicy scene... I'm gonna need MORE. Like a LOT more. That was so good.

My Killer Vacation is fun, fast-paced and deliciously steamy.
Thank god for the kindle version - it made devouring this book as soon as it was launched so much easier!
If you’re looking for a fun summer read, and liked Bailey’s other books such as It Happened One Summer, pick this up- you won’t be disappointed.
