I could not see past the male main character wearing crocs and swim trunks to a professional meeting, especially as a bodyguard.

This book is how I realized I’m not a big “golden retriever MMC” fan, and also how I realized that Maggie can turn anything around for me and I’ll end up liking it. 😂
So many, and I mean SO MANY of Annie’s struggles and insecurities were relatable to me, and the way Miles handled them was TOP TIER.
I also loved the fact that the progression was so different from a lot of her other novels so far! (I won’t say how so as not to spoil it, but I really enjoyed that!)

DNF because I found the MMC annoying and disrespectful/rude. He very much reminded me of an Andy Samberg character, and I just find that personality type unappealing.

This book is being thwarted by its cover and title. I’m convinced it would’ve gone viral otherwise.
A sweet, emotional, and funny bodyguard romance featuring a romance author. The hero is what book boyfriends are made of.
