Quick, easy, light read. Closed door romance with fake dating trope. And a realllly sappy ending.

This was so fun!! I’ve been reading a lot of heavy stuff the last few months, and this book was such a breath of fresh air. The writing was super funny and I felt like I was flying through it. If you’re a romantic comedy fan, this is a great one!

 When his mother is diagnosed with cancer, celebrity Jack Stapleton goes home to his family's Texas ranch. His studio hires security to protect him from a stalker and while most of the team works remotely, Hannah will stay with him 24/7. So as not to worry his mother and cause her undue stress during her treatment, Jack tells his family that Hannah is his girlfriend. Of course, his family loves Hannah and vice versa. The relationship between Jack and his brother is strained due to a tragedy years ago and Hannah helps Jack deal with that. What I didn't like was Hannah's lack of self-esteem, especially considering her career. Yes, there are plenty of details given about her childhood and previous relationships that had a negative impact on her, and she then ends up in the situation of comparing herself to celebrity girlfriends. She also has to deal with a couple of characters who are just downright mean and insulting, but still she does not stand up for herself in most of these situations. I liked the epilogue and I appreciate the author's note as so often this is not included in audiobooks.

There are a lot of content warnings for this book. I'll try and break them down into certain spoilers. To begin, some general non-spoiler comments. At the very start of the book, MC's mom died. I don't know if I'd call it an illness or a condition, but it was terminal. Second, as a bodyguard, the MC deals with issues of kidnapping, stalking, attempted violence, etc. They have to protect their charges sometimes which can also require violence. Spoilers related to MC:

MC's boyfriend dumps her right after her mom's funeral and ends up dating her best friend.

. Spoiler related to MC's love interest:

Their mom is diagnosed with cancer in the beginning of the book which is why they return home. This requires time in the hospital. Later in the book they do get kidnapped and threatened at gunpoint. They also struggle with recurring nightmares because they feel responsible for the death of their brother after he drowned when their car went off a bridge into the water
