One of my favorite things is how Hannah isn't just physically tough. Yes, she can handle herself in a fight (as a martial arts girl myself, I absolutely LOVED that), but that's far from everything that makes her great at her profession. She's constantly assessing risks, checking vehicles for tampering, planning ahead, and noticing details others miss 🔍🚗

And then there's Jack 💕
I adored getting to see the celebrity stripped of all the Hollywood glamour. Behind the fame is just a genuinely kind, funny, slightly awkward guy trying to navigate life like the rest of us.

This book made me smile so much. It's sweet, funny, heartwarming, and full of the kind of emotional moments that sneak up on you when you least expect them.

If you're looking for a feel-good romance with lovable characters, great chemistry, and just enough drama to keep things interesting, this one is for you ✨

Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindergarten teacher than somebody who could kill you with a wine bottle opener. Or a ballpoint pen. Or a dinner napkin. But the truth is, she’s an Executive Protection Agent (aka "bodyguard"), and she just got hired to protect superstar actor Jack Stapleton from his middle-aged, corgi-breeding stalker.

This was not what I expected.But somehow it ended up being exactly what I needed. 🥹

I picked this one up completely on a whim and went in with zero expectations. I hadn't read many bodyguard romances before and honestly wasn't sure what I'd think—but I ended up absolutely loving it.
