Synopsis
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?

Review
Oh, Tessa Bailey has done it again! I loved My Killer Vacation!
Taylor and Myles were off the charts hot. Some of the things that came out of Myles’s mouth, wow! These two had instant chemistry that jumped off the page! This was a bit of an insta-love situation, but Myles and Taylor were so stinking cute I didn’t even care. I loved how they both saw the other the way no one else had before.
Jude was such a fantastic side character, and I loved how much he clearly cared for his sister. It also helped that he was hilarious. I need. A Jude/Dante book!
For me, the mystery storyline took a black seat to what was happening between Taylor and Myles, but I enjoyed it. The Dateline aficionado in me completely understood Taylor wanting to help with the investigation. There was also a part where Taylor talked about loud sneezers, and I don’t think I’ve related to anything more in a book. I thought the mystery was well plotted out. It was solvable without being completely obvious.
My Killer vacation was just a fun read! Tessa Bailey is a master at writing steamy romantic comedies.
