Summary

'My perfect ten of a book.' EMILY HENRY
*The instant New York Times bestseller!*

She's got his back. He's got her heart. They've got a secret. What could possibly go wrong?

Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindergarten teacher than somebody who could kill you with her bare hands. But the truth is, she's an elite bodyguard and she's just been hired to protect a superstar actor from his stalker.

Jack Stapleton's a Hollywood heartthrob - captured by paparazzi on beaches the world over, rising out of the waves in clingy board shorts and glistening like a Roman deity.

When Jack's mom gets sick, he comes home to the family's Texas ranch to help out. Only one catch: He doesn't want his family to know about his stalker. Or the bodyguard thing. And so Hannah - against her will and her better judgment - finds herself pretending to be Jack's girlfriend as a cover.

Protecting Jack should be easy. But protecting her own heart? That's the hardest thing she's ever done...

loved it

This was such a good easy listening story that swallowed me whole. I didn't want to stop listening I was completely absorbed in Jack and Hannahs story. It made me laugh, smile and a little sad in places and I was all in.

Real sweet!

I was worried it was gonna be a cheesy rom com but it was a really nice book. I will definitely listen to it again in the future. I’ve been feeling down lately and this really lifted my spirits.

The romance novel I didn't think I needed

i adore anything that has special agents/spies/bodyguards in them, so obviously this was a perfect book for me! I think it had a great pacing for a romance book and it hooked me from the very beginning

Absolutely loved this book

Highly recommend this book. So well written! I was really sad when I finished it. I felt the thread of hope as a story within the story. Just beautiful!

good story. not great audio

I like the story. it's good.
in line with other books from the author. but...
the audio is frustrating. it's like it's been sped up badly. some bits are ok, but some bits are abit odd, like it's being read by a computer.
