Well, absolutely devoured this book! It is the cute, fluffy, HEA romcom I needed! 

Annie is a sweet small town flower shop owner who longs to finally settle down into a cookie cutter life with a loving husband and family. Unfortunately, her confidence in the dating department is minimal at best. 

Will is the no-nonsense bodyguard (I mean, "Executive Protection Agent") of a celebrity and soon-to-be-sister-in-law of Annie. He has sworn off long relationships but has lots of dating experience, so he agrees to be Annie's dating coach. 

Both Will and Annie have big things they have to work through, and it is great seeing them transform individually and together. I think what I love the most is how they let themselves be totally honest with each other and communicate how they're feeling throughout the story. It is so refreshing that they just tell it like it is! 

"Do you have feelings for me, Will?"

"Annie, you can't just ask a person that! That's against the rules!"

"Why?"

"Because, we're supposed to keep everything hidden and angsty. Keep each other guessing and miserable." 😏

I was a gooey puddle on the floor by the end of the book. I was cheesing so hard and even had some lol moments (the first date...IYKYK).
