firstly, i’m really happy that i got to squeeze this one in before the year ended. i started it on the subway and it hooked me and i ended up reading it in a day, and i loooove fast paced books. 

hannah being private security and this undercover badass was really fun, and i loved watching her prove everyone wrong when they underestimated her. jack was also a good character, and i loved seeing him happy with her. is that a trope? “only happy because of her”? i’m making it one. i thought i was getting lucky with forced proximity and her having to follow him everywhere to keep him protected, but oh no. we hit the jackpot, folks. katherine center threw in some fake dating and only one bed as a cherry on top. i was completely sold. 

sometimes i felt the conflicts were just a little predictable or forced but that’s not to say it was a bad thing at all. i still enjoyed reading how hannah was going to get herself out of it. 

i also think the epilogue was really well done and fully just tied everything up with bows to let you know exactly how everything turned out, which is a big plus for me because i hate wondering what happens after the story.

You know when you start reading a book and it gives what it needed to give and it gave what you expected so there’s a satisfying feeling of joy at the end? That’s what this book was. A few pages in and you know what happens and what it’s about but that doesn’t take away from you wanting to read the journey. It’s sweet, cheesy at times, but still a fun, quick read. It’s perfect for an airport or just lounging.

This was my first Katherine Center book, and I enjoyed it! It’s a really fun, sometimes cheesy, and other times deep and reflective, rom-com that flips the traditional bodyguard/celebrity romance. I found myself reading this book really quickly and wanting to know what would happen to the characters, and I appreciated how the lighthearted romance was complimented by discussions about deeper thoughts, insecurities and reflections. Overall, I had a great time with this book and am looking forward to discussing it at my next book club meeting!
