Thank you so much to Net Galley and to the publisher for providing me with a free copy of “Title” by Katherine Center in exchange for an honest review. All of the following opinions are formulated on my own.

Overall rating: 3.25 out of 5 stars

Format: Audiobook

Narrator Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

My favorite elements: The reversed bodyguard trope! YES, CHECK, GIVE IT TO ME!!!! It was cute and entertaining. I liked the characters, especially Hannah! It was also definitely funny, but...

My criticisms: The description on the back of the novel had me expecting more violence than there actually was. The premise of this novel should not have been shifted to romantic comedy and I MUCH would have preferred to see more of a thriller with a romance side plot.

Tropes:
- Fake Dating
- Reverse Bodyguard
- Slow Burn
- Lighthearted
- Comedic Romance

"Loving other people really does turn out, in the end, to be a genuine way of loving yourself."

This story reminded me of the movies, The Proposal and The Bodyguard. The banter between the main characters was fun to read. If you like closed door rom-coms with a bit of depth,drama and a behind the scenes look at what it is like to be an actor, you will enjoy this latest book by Katherine Center.
Thanks to NetGalley for the chance to read it in exchange for my honest opinion.
