This was such a fun book honestly. I adored Jack and Hannah so much!! Definitely one of my favorite romance books and I can see myself reading all of Katherine centers books soon!
Hannah was genuinely so funny and sarcastic I loved her character! And Jack was just the perfect guy in this book and genuinely had such an interesting story. The romance was very sweet and clean and the slow burn was perfect. Both of our main characters were so good at communicating with each other about their past and their insecurities it was adorable.
Would definitely recommend if you are into sweet clean and funny romances.

The book I needed to read to get out of my fiction book slump!
I absolutely loved the banter between Hannah and Jack and the slow-burn romance between them made me want to continue reading anytime I can. I also appreciated how both of them helped the other with their respective struggles (Hannah struggling with loving herself and her family drama, Jack with the death of his brother and the nightmares/bridge phobia associated with it).
Bonus point for the fact that the bodyguard in this story is the girl ;)
Definitely recommend it if you want a fun, cute and easy to read rom-com!

“I think just because you can't keep something doesn't mean it wasn't worth it. Nothing lasts forever. What matters is what we take with us.”
When I first saw this book I thought that it was gonna be normal typical famous woman hiring a bodyguard and they'd fall in love kinda romance so I was skeptical going into it but then I saw Emily Henry's blurb which said 'my perfect ten of a book' and you have no idea how fast I got it because obviously I love Emily Henry and I didnt wanna read this book alone so I also called Roxy another hardcore emily henry fan to read this with me and it's safe to say that it was a ten of a book for us. Katherine Centre does such a mega job in keeping us invested in this story and tbh it wasn't even that big of a book it was the average size a romance book SHOULD be and it delivered, I feel like the writing style was very easy to read and entertaining overall and it was so damn binge-able that I read it in a day I think?? I liked how we went with the flow and didn't feel bored once. This is the ideal romance book for me tbh.
Hannah reminded me a bit of Sloane from king of sloth but I overall liked Hannah more. I loved how she became self aware and at the end and I honestly felt for her because she was surrounded by such negativity!! Imagine having a lying, cheating, whoring ass of boyfriend who undermined you every chance he got and and having a best friend who would sleep with your said ex boyfriend?? They were for the streets frr. So it was understandable for her to be reserved and more work driven but I loved her as the story progressed and when she opened up. Jack was the ideal man. I can't even begin the way he tried to avoid so many conflicts and so many things and the way they avoided a whole ass third act break up which would be there if it was cough Tessa bailey cough but the way that man tried to steer it away and said lets make it worthwhile while i can just name so many others who would make such a big mess of it. Loved it!!
The romance was a thing that needed a little improvement like don't get me wrong I loved the forced proximity+ the slow burn and I loved how it was clean with no spice but I just wanted a bit of development on there part it was as if somewhere along they just fell in love and we didn't get to see either but I still enjoyed it nonetheless.The plot was fun!! I enjoyed it a lot especially the last few moments of the book. They really had me shook

The definition of a fine easy romance. I found the timeline/ pace a bit uneven and could have done without the Kennedy character but it wasn’t bad! (FYI for my girlies: no smut)

Super cute take on the bodyguard trope. In this one it was the women protecting him by being his girlfriend so there was fake girlfriend trope too which made it cute and easy to read!
