He is a two time winner of People’s Sexiest Man Alive and a world famous movie star. He needs security but wants to keep it a secret, so his family doesn’t worry. In comes Hannah, no one would ever suspect that she is an Executive Protection Agent who knows several ways to kill a man with whatever household item that is closest. To explain her presence, they pretend she is his girlfriend. But who would believe Jack Stapleton would date someone so ordinary?

I LOVED this book!  It will be my new go-to book when I need a pick me up.  I laughed so hard!  So much that I couldn't read it at night because I kept waking up my husband from laughing so hard!

In this book you have an A List celebrity that needs to have some security while he's visiting his family during an emergency.  The only way to do this without raising alarm is to have his security detail pretend to be his girlfriend.  

Hilarity ensues.  You need to read it to understand how amazing this book is!  

My one gripe is that one of the side characters is a master gardener, but they have honeysuckle planted all over the garden.  They even use it in bouquets.  The problem is no gardener worth anything will allow honeysuckle to grow in their gardens because it's super invasive.  I know....it isn't something big, or anything most people would care about.  It just bugged me.
