Talk about a spicy masterpiece. This is one you do not want to miss out on. I recommend this if you want a thriller that is hard to put down. Bonnie had a fantastic mind and you can sense her creativeness in this book and her work as an author!

I just finished it. Although everything looks promising, I was a bit disappointed with the plot.
Firstly, no spicy, just a regular thriller book. Sometimes very slow, others too fast. At the end still isn't clear what really happened.

I was hoping to like this book but it was predictable and falsely labeled as a "spicy" thriller. Nothing about this book is spicy, just because you talk about sex doesn't make this a spicy book. Not only that but the characters are dumb, don't communicate, and this whole story could've been a paragraph if the married couple just talked to each other.

Not my cup of tea to be honest. Didn't get on with this at all. Thanks for the opportunity to review

A fast paced thriller which has a good premise. It's a light read and hooks from the beginning. Overall an interesting read.

Thank you BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for this e-arc in exchange of my unbiased review.

This was absolutely amazing! I was totally enthralled with this story from beginning to end, I could barely put it down, and when I finally read the last page, the house was dark, I was hungry, thirsty, needed to pee and my neck was stiff. But damn, it was worth it!

This book starts off strong, slows down in the middle, but picks up again in the final 30%. The reader enjoyed it overall, preferring Morgan’s perspective over Tara’s. While not particularly "spicy," it's a quick, enjoyable thriller and a solid addition to a spooky season TBR. Recommended for those looking for a fast-paced read.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I did not enjoy this book. Morgan's character was unrealistic and to 'showy' for my liking. The plot was a bit outrageous to me and I did not find that it flowed well. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this book.

I love a classic "who done it?" and this fit the bill well for me. I love thrillers with some spice to them, so this was a great read for me!

A fun, light and sometimes raunchy story. Very well written and a good mix of both genres. Would definitely read more by this author xx

A Little Getaway by Bonnie Traymore is a delightful escapade that perfectly blends romance and adventure.

Traymore’s writing is engaging and lively, bringing the setting and characters to life with warmth and charm. With its mix of humor and emotional depth, this novel offers a refreshing escape that’s perfect for fans of lighthearted romance.

Shooo weeee, this was a really good book. I enjoyed it and couldn't put it down. Thank you so much Netgalley.

This was a good thriller, but it didn't fully hit the mark for me. The book delivers a few exciting twists, but some aspects of the plot felt predictable and the pacing was a little off at times.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing an advanced copy of this book.

A woman suspects her husband of cheating and then he disappears. This book was so fast paced, which I love, and had me needing to know what would happen next! I would definitely recommend!

There is so much going on in this story with the deceit and lying though also just being ok with offing your partner these two are a real doozie but it makes for great reading content and I really enjoyed the book.

Nope. Title is super misleading. Spicy thriller - not at all. Not reading it for the spice, but when it’s LITERALLY in the title, you’d expect some - none. Which that’s fine, but then change the title.

As far as the actual book - the premise wasn’t bad, yet it just didn’t deliver. Overall I would’ve DNF’d this book if I wasn’t so heck bent on not dnfing books. I found the book slow, and then when it was over I thought - that was it?

Wouldn’t recommend it 😬

Received this as an E-Arc, from NetGalley.

Spicy….i would maybe remove that phrase from the tagline. It almost feels like false advertisement. It’s any otherwise good book, if I weren’t constantly wondering where the advertised “spice” was

📚: A Little Getaway by Bonnie Traymore
⭐️: 4/5

The gist: A little getaway to a beach resort turns bloody for Morgan Murphy and her husband, Kyle. Morgan prides herself on having a marriage that stays - ahem - passionate, but suddenly she feels Kyle pulling away. Is it work, with a deal taking a sharp left turn? Or is it another woman? Just as Morgan’s spider senses start to rise, Kyle whisks her away on this beach getaway… at the same time he decides to up both of their life insurance policies. Next thing you know, Kyle disappears into thin air, and Morgan needs to piece together what is going on.

The good: Easily bingeable and fast paced, with suspense that had me furiously turning pages. This was my first Bonnie Traymore read, but won’t be my last! I enjoyed the twists and turns this story took, and found Morgan to be a complex character that I cautiously rooted for.

The eh: A few plot points that landed abruptly in the latter half. Also, this is billed as a *spicy* suspense thriller, while this book had a plot line surrounding some spiciness, I wouldn’t necessarily call this book spicy. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Big thanks to BooksGoSocial via @netgalley for the digital ARC in exchange for an honest review. A Little Getaway is out now!

Honest Review!

I’m not really sure if I read the same book as others since the ratings on GoodReads is about a 3.8 but this was a 2.5 for me.

“A Little Getaway” was a disappointment from start to finish. The plot felt disjointed, with too many clichéd twists that lacked any real suspense or intrigue. The characters were flat and unrelatable, making it hard to care about their fates. The dialogue was awkward, and the writing style itself felt unpolished, as if it were rushed to publication.

What could have been an exciting psychological thriller ended up being predictable and uninspired. I kept waiting for a moment that would redeem the story, but it never came.

Sadly, this book didn’t live up to its potential.
