Happy first read of the year! Had to kick it off with Maggie Gates. Her writing is so real and honest that every character sucks you right in. I loved Miles, he's by far one of my favorite MMCs. I mean, common who doesn't love Crocs?! Iconic. While this ‘wasn’t my favorite’ of hers that I’ve read I still really enjoyed it, she’s just set a very high bar for herself! I loved finally getting to see Whitney West's story after hearing about her in other books.

Frickin swoon city. I loved this book. I woke up with insomnia to read it. The relationship between Annie & Miles was sweet, kind, respectful … I loved them. Apparently I like bodyguard romances now too? In need of more recommendations.
What I loved:
- Annie’s Pies!
- Revealed identity!
- Rubber duck shorts & crocs
- Annie’s Fanny Pack
- all of Miles’ nicknames for Annie
- both of Miles’s families: the Zhou’s and Keller & Associates
- the suspense
- Annie’s inner monologue
- what happened what Miles heard Annie call herself “Just Annie” … damn.
- the cameos! (Hey chase & Bridget! Hannah Jane! Jo! Tatum & Wren!)
- the plot twist
- Ophelia becoming a softie
One of my favorite Annie quotes “could have done without the kidnapping” 🤣 but what’s a bodyguard romance without a needed rescue?
10/10 recommend!!

I absolutely loved these characters. Miles kept me cracking up, and he was such a lovable cinnamon roll. He has major golden retriever energy and the way he treats Annie is absolutely incredible. Annie finds herself and learns how to love herself, and Miles helps her along the way. I absolutely loved this book and there were some incredible quotes in here about love and being yourself that are so memorable that I truly took to heart.courtneyvbooks's review

This book was so good. Annie is a pie owner by day and by night she is a author that goes by the name Whitney West. Annie is being stalked so her assistant hires a bodyguard. Miles is a former MMA fighter/bodyguard that is hired to protect Annie on her book tour. This book is bodyguard and secret identity.

WHAT A MASTERPIECE.
Miles is the my new favourite book boyfriend and nobody will ever top him off. the annie-pack? the proving to her she's not broken? unknowingly training her in case she needs it? helping her see how brave she is? s w o o n i n g !!
the intensity of the scene at the end of the book was crazy and i was literally sitting on the edge of my seat because of it and reading annie realize how brave/strong she is made me so proud.
i really enjoyed the nuance between Whitney and Annie and how much she needed them both to live her life until Miles barged in.
the spice is immaculate and yes i need more of them. I had not read a book with spice this good in a very long time and i missed it. and i do not mean in the sense that it was well written and executed but also in the sense that it made sense with the story!
my favorite books/character has a cameo and i literally screamed!
maggie is now on my auto-boy author list ; she can do no wrong.
thank you @authormikaylachristy for the rec! 🧡
