This book was so fun! It had me literally laughing out loud, gasping at outrageous parts, and swooning. Very cute!

I docked it half of a star, because I did find the writing a bit juvenile at times. It reads a bit young even though the characters are all adults. Also, some of the conflict points were just a bit underwhelming. However, the sheer charm of the book made up for it in my opinion!

Adorei a leitura, sem expectativas, achei que foi uma história bem construída, com personagens sólidos e um enredo que prende. Nada de grandes emoções ou viradas extraordinária, mas cumpriu muitíssimo bem a função de um romance excelente pra engatar as leituras novamente.

This book was a delightful read. Hannah's tendency to work too hard was relatable, and the gradual development of her relationship with Jack was a pleasure to follow. Although the fake-dating trope can be cheesy, the scenario of a bodyguard protecting a movie star from a difficult superfan made it believable. I loved seeing the growth of both Hannah and Jack as individuals and as a couple. Overall, it was a heartwarming and satisfying book.

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?

This was a fun rom-com style read. The main characters had good energy between them and the plot was entertaining.
