Finding her dream man is harder than Annie Walker thought it would be. When she accidentally hears her blind date ask a friend to call and bail him out because she’s “so unbelievably boring” she figures she needs to practice being more exciting. Who better to teach her than tattooed bodyguard to the stars, Will Griffin. Will is back in Rome, GA to guard her soon to be sister-in-law while she plans her upcoming nuptials. When he finds himself tasked with helping Annie out, he knows he’s in trouble. He has always had a soft spot for the shy, flower shop owner, but a few “practice” dates shouldn’t be too hot to handle. Or are they?

I found this novel on a Best of 2023 romance book list and thought I’d give it a try. The plot was pretty simple but I was intrigued by this guy who doesn’t want to put down any roots and how a small town girl was going to rope him in. I’ll admit that they had a bit of chemistry and some of their practice dates were cute, but I thought there was a lack of depth in our heroine that made it really hard for me to connect with them as a couple.

I will back off a bit and say that I haven’t read this author before and it could be that not having read Annie’s brother and soon to be sister-in-law’s romance might have provided a back story that could’ve helped me like Annie a bit more. Maybe. However, this novel isn’t a second in a series and is said to be ok to read as a stand alone, so I think it just didn’t fit what I needed when I picked up a book to read. Sometimes that happens, right? ❤️❤️❤️❣️
