**Synopsis:**
Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindergarten teacher than somebody who could kill you. But the truth is, sheās a bodyguard, and she just got hired to protect superstar actor Jack Stapleton from his stalker.
Jack Stapletonās a household nameācaptured by paparazzi on beaches the world over, famous for, among other things, rising out of the waves in all manner of clingy board shorts and glistening like a Roman deity. But a few years back, in the wake of a family tragedy, he dropped from the public eye and went off the grid.
Theyāve got a secret.
Only one catch: He doesnāt want his family to know about his stalker. Or the bodyguard thing. And so Hannahāagainst her will and her better judgmentāfinds herself pretending to be Jackās girlfriend as a cover.
What could possibly go wrong?
**Personal thoughts:**I really enjoyed the book. I just feel the other books Iāve read before overpowered my thoughts. I found myself enjoying the book but not enough to think and dwell on it. I love the clean romance š„° and loved the ending. I think I like the middle to ending more than the beginning. I loved the romance. Only criticism I have is I think the trope āhe will never like meā is a little bit much. I get it, insecurities are real but I think when it stems from Iām normal and heās famous, it can get unrealistic. I think if it played on her fear of trusting others itās more realistic.
**Spicy level:** š¶ļøš¶ļø/5 | fade to black, making out

"Love is something you generate.
"And loving other people really does turn out, in the end, to be a genuine way of loving yourself."

The couple was really cute and the plot was interesting. Jack is perfect. My only complaint is some of the side characters. Robbie is so mean and dumb to the point I donāt understand how Hannah could have dated him in the first place (or Taylor!!). Also didnāt love Glen he straight up treats his employees like shit. Lastly Kennedy or whoever was so over the top it was unbelievable. But other than the obnoxious side characters this story was just what I needed.
