This was such a fun, cute, and funny book! It did have a few emotional and deep moments, but I was cheesing or laughing for most of the book! I loved The Stapleton’s, even angry ass Hank. I did wish it did not include the stereotypical Hollywood actress bit with Kennedy Monroe, but that part was just a small portion so did not impact the story. Also, as a spicy book lover *wiggles eyebrows* I wish it included a tiny bit of steam to balance out the “Hannah is boring and no fun” part of the book. Overall, I really enjoyed it and read it in 2 days. I alternated between the kindle and audio version but preferred the audio which does not happen to me often.

P.S. Bobby and Taylor can kick rocks!

I started reading the book without reading the summary and was pleasantly surprised reading that the bodyguard is our female MC♡
(and then I came back here to read the summary :P)

Couldn't connect with Hannah in some parts.. the character buildup was good but some things that she does/says felt so unlike her. And the book didn't really dive deeper into any of the other characters.

It has many fun and some romantic parts; overall okay-ish. But it's the kind of story I would definitely watch if adapted into a movie!!

This book was super cute, loved the gender roles switched, with the girl being the bodyguard protecting the guy. Amazing writing which was easy to fly through. No spice(which I was exactly in the mood for).

Only "complaint" would be that the romance started really late on in the book, and the fake dating wasn't very prevalent as while fake dating, they didn't even kiss. Forced proximity was more contributing to the plot.They did have an emotional connection though. Also, I wouldn't have minded some more banter and moments between them.
