I LOVED this book! It will be my new go-to book when I need a pick me up. I laughed so hard! So much that I couldn't read it at night because I kept waking up my husband from laughing so hard!

In this book you have an A List celebrity that needs to have some security while he's visiting his family during an emergency. The only way to do this without raising alarm is to have his security detail pretend to be his girlfriend.

Hilarity ensues. You need to read it to understand how amazing this book is!

My one gripe is that one of the side characters is a master gardener, but they have honeysuckle planted all over the garden. They even use it in bouquets. The problem is no gardener worth anything will allow honeysuckle to grow in their gardens because it's super invasive. I know....it isn't something big, or anything most people would care about. It just bugged me.

This book has a very interesting premise that is executed well: A workaholic bodyguard finds herself against her will in a fake dating work assignment that soon begins to blur the emotional lines of faking, meanwhile there is a threat constantly in the background waiting to emerge and her personal life going through a turmoil that makes the situation even messier. This is a sweet romance read with touches on heavier topics of grief and self-doubt stirring the pot.
