Cute little closed-door rom-com style read 😊 The banter between the main characters was fun & I think this is a great choice if you need something light, fluffy, & sweet (and yes, a good bit unrealistic, because all good rom-coms are). Language was overall pretty mild as well.

So cute, so fun, absolutely flew through this book. I normally don't love a no-spice, no-swearing, not-a-lot-of-kissing romance book because it feels juvenile and unrealistic but I completely bought it for this one. To be honest, I didn't even really notice that the characters weren't swearing and there wasn't any outright intimacy besides kissing between Hannah and Jack (which is a testament to the writing and story-building). I'm almost positive this is my first Katherine Center book and I definitely want to read more. I do wish we had more content of Hannah and Jack once they were together, but I loved seeing her assimilate to his family and start to really care not just about Jack but also his entire family. Overall, Hannah's character arc was well done and she was a fully fleshed out character. Also, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to Katherine Center for giving Hannah some self-respect and not letting her rebound with Robby OR completely forgive Taylor. They didn't deserve Hannah!!!!

I will say the romance felt a tad rushed. Hannah had barely felt an inkling of a crush towards Jack, then all the sudden she was saying she was in love with him. The ending section with Wilbur was totally weird and out of left field, but it was so on brand for a "bodyguard romance" (if that's even a trope in romance novels).

Love Katherine center. Her books always have uplifting endings which I appreciate so much. Then the body of the book is always a mix of sad and happy but not to worry, this one is not very sad. Thank u bc my seasonal depression cannot take that at the moment.
The couple was really cute and the plot was interesting. Jack is perfect. My only complaint is some of the side characters. Robbie is so mean and dumb to the point I don’t understand how Hannah could have dated him in the first place (or Taylor!!). Also didn’t love Glen he straight up treats his employees like shit. Lastly Kennedy or whoever was so over the top it was unbelievable. But other than the obnoxious side characters this story was just what I needed.

I cannot overstate how much I LOVED this. I returned it to the library, and immediately purchased it in Libro.
Truly just so unbelievably happy and fun
