This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!
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 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?

Why I’m Waiting: It doesn’t take much for me to want to read a book. Most times if it’s a romance or if it’s a mystery, then yeah, it gets added to my TBR no matter the complete premise. So imagine my surprise when I saw this one had both? I AM EXCITEMENT! And we also know that I stan all of Tessa Bailey’s new stuff, so giving this a try is a must. I cannot wait to get my hands on this one. (HOWEVER, who do we yell at for this cover? I can’t stand it. But I also know that there is a lot of self published authors out there that can’t afford a super nice one. I dk which Bailey is, but this just one…… is not it. In my opinion. As a fan of hers I probably would have tried buying the physical of this, but now I’d probably just buy the e-book.
What about you? Have you heard about this one? Do you like this author? Have you read this author? Let me know in the comments!
Ooh nice pick! I love a good mystery as well! While I do love a good animated cover, this one does seem a little awkward. Well, it’s what’s on the inside that counts, right? Hope you love this one!
