I understand that the book is primarily a romance but if that was the case, I think a very corny cozy mystery vibe would have been better. There was no effort to build any kind of proper romance at all and it was literally based entirely off of physical attraction which was so unfortunate because I couldn’t bring myself to care about such a baseless romance.Īnother issue that I had was with the murder mystery element of this book, I feel like it was one of the main selling points of the book and yet it just was so badly put together, and the actual direction and conclusion of the ‘mystery’ made no sense at all. Literally the second Myles sees Taylor his brain goes ‘pretty woman man like’ and he literally never shuts up about how attractive she is and it is literally SO ANNOYING. I think my main issue with this book was just how insta-lovey it was. I feel like she actually had a distinguishable personality and I didn’t hate being stuck inside her head, the same can unfortunately not be said for Myles’ pov, which takes us onto the cons. I’ll start with the pros, because there aren’t many of them, but I did actually like the main character, Taylor, which is quite weird for a romance. I personally don’t really enjoy straight up romance without something else going on, and so the idea of a romance MURDER MYSTERY was really hitting for me, unfortunately, this book left a lot to be desired. My Killer Vacation was one of the most hyped new release romances this summer. But will fate take her from me before I realize the road has been leading to her all along?


Before I sink any deeper into this dangerous attraction, I need to solve this murder and get back on the road.

Not to mention a fulfilling teaching career of wrangling second graders.Ī 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. 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. 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.
