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.
