About this listen

'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...

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.

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

The romance novel I didn't think I needed

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.

good story. not great audio

Took a few chapters to get into it but well worth pushing on as the rest of the book was full of light hearted laugh out loud moments which transported you to a different world.

Beautiful story
