Chapter 21. Taylor and Jude chat on the beach. After Jude goes to get some food or drink. Taylor is alone on the beach and suddenly a gun is cocked to her head. It’s Kurt the assistant. The mayor was not in on it, Kurt was acting alone. Short version, Myles arrives and saves Taylor. He confesses his feelings and lets her know he wants a real relationship not just a fling. The chapter ends waiting a response.

Chapter 20. Myles is back in his motel regretting his argument with Taylor. After three years keeping his distance he phones his brother Kevin for advice. After a quick catch up and discussion, Myles has a moment of clarity remembering the peep holes from the brining of the story. The Mayor was not working alone, The Mayor’s assistant had to be involved too. Taylor is in danger and not answering her phone.

Chapter 19. Myles and Taylor arrive at Lisa Stanley’s house. The short version is that there is arguing between Lisa and the mayor Rhonda. Taylor does not do as Myles asks putting herself in danger. The mayor is arrested and Lisa is unharmed. Myles and Taylor have an argument, it remains unresolved as we head into the next chapter.

Chapter 18. Long chapter. Lots to unpack. The pair make love, in a quiet church no less. It is obvious they are falling in love despite agreeing it was a no strings thing. Huge reveal in plot. The company who own the rentals is owned by the Mayor who ironically is publicly against the rentals. This puts her as prime suspect and towards the end of the chapter. The murder victims sister could be next.

Chapter 17. After the intimacy of the previous chapter Taylor and Myles go down stairs to Jude arriving from his beach trip. He notices Taylor’s bandage on her head and gets a debrief on the situation. Before he can process it, his estranged Movie Star boyfriend Dante arrives after seeing them on the news regards the murder case. Dante is followed by paparazzi.

Chapter 16. Wow!!! Myles takes Taylor home after the assault. She’s feeling so much better she initiates a sexual encounter in the bathroom. Myles was just trying to keep her warm by running a shower. But they end up having rough frantic sex. Taylor begging to be man handled and got what she asked for.

Chapter 15 done. It’s picking up pace. Taylor goes to search property records at the library and uncovers a clue the murder victim Co-owned his rental properties with a corporation. She is then assaulted and knocked out cold. Myles comes to tend to her from meeting with the police. They head hope after given the all clear from the paramedics. Their emotional bond deepens. However they miss out on ice cream

Chapter 14 done. Myles reflecting on his feelings. Both for Taylor and Himself. The pair head into town. They split as Taylor plans to head to the Library and Myles heads for a meeting with the police about the ballistic report. They agree to meet later for ice cream

Chapter 13. A bit refreshing to see some interaction between Taylor and her gay brother Jude. They chat about Myles and Jude’s complicated relationship with his “straight” friend Dante. Myles appears towards the end of the chapter and the group leave the beach and head for breakfast. Myles mention ballistics are back, so the murder investigation looks to be picking up.

Chapter 12. Myles and Taylor have a sexual encounter in the car park next to the sex toy shop. Myles gives Taylor an orgasm with the vibrator. But as they are about to do the deed a noise of the local pub emptying stops them and kills the moment.

Chapter 11. Halfway done. More sexual longing between Myles and Taylor. Taylor is even off to buy a vibrator as she’s gagging for an orgasm. On the plus side this chapter had a bit of murder investigation. Nothing substantial though.

Chapter 10 in the book. These chapters are bloody long. Myles & Taylor have another near sex experience on the beach however interrupted again as Jude calls for help after being stung by a jellyfish. The murder investigation has taken a back seat. I feel it needs to shine a bit more.

Chapter 9 done. Taylor thinks about the “almost” with Myles and the attack that interrupted them. Also she has breakfast with her brother Jude who makes fun of her and the obvious sexual tension between her and Myles. By the end of the chapter a reporter knocks on the door wanting a story. Jude and Taylor slam the door in the reporters face.

Chapter 8 done. Things are hitting up both in terms of the chemistry between Myles and Taylor and the action of the murder investigation. Myles and Taylor finally give in to the lust between them. After myles dominates Taylor while she yearns to be dominated. After a BJ he orders her to the bed. Before he gets to fuck her, something is thrown through the window, glass cutting Taylor.

So this chapter focuses on the rising sexual tension between Taylor and Myles. They both want each other but know they are not compatible for a relationship. Taylor makes it know she desires rough sex, to be dominated but only attracts beige boring men. The chapter ends with Taylor asking Myles to teach her rough sex and how to ask for it.

Chapter five in the book. The sexual tension between Taylor and Myles is growing. They almost fuck on the floor of the crime scene. However are interrupted by the Mayor and a news crew. I love how the POV keeps switching but does not alter the pace of the story.

Back to Taylor for Chapter 4. This was a long chapter. Focusing on the sexual tension between Taylor & Myles. They almost get down to business but get interrupted by Jude, Taylor’s brother. Not so much he knows what he has interrupted. Definitely going to happen as Myles took Taylor’s sexy red panties in exchange for his business card.

Just finished chapter three. We switch POV to Myles the bounty hunter. Focus was him and Taylor being introduced and discussing the case. Myles is a grisly mid 30 divorcee. It is obviously he is sexually attracted to Taylor. It makes him do things out of character and he notices this.

So we are dealing with the aftermath of the body find. It’s Oscar the owner of the rental. His sister Lisa is informed and now on site and exchanges with Taylor and the Police. Lisa seems suspicious to me. But surely that’s too obvious a red herring.

Things are getting interesting straight away. Funny smell, peep holes and to close the chapter a dead body with a bullet hole in his forehead.

Getting into the endgame now. I feel for Emma. I feel there is another twist coming.
