Annie Walker is on a quest to find her perfect match-someone who nicely compliments her happy, quiet life running her flower shop in Rome, Kentucky. Unfortunately, she worries her goal might be too far out of reach when she overhears her date saying she is “sounbelievably boring.” Is it too late to become flirtatious and fun like the leading ladies in her favorite romance movies? Maybe she only needs a little practice…and Annie has the perfect person in mind to become her tutor: Will Griffin.
Will–the flirtatious, tattooed, and absolutely gorgeous bodyguard–is temporarily back in Rome, providing security for Amelia Rose as excitement grows for her upcoming marriage to Noah Walker. He has one personal objective during his time in town: stay away from Annie Walker. But no sooner than he gets settled, Will soon finds himself not only breaking his rule, but tasked with far more than simply providing security.
Will wants no part in changing the sweet and lovely Annie, but he can’t bring himself to say no to her request, so he officially agrees to teach her how to be the next leading lady of Rome, Kentucky, and find the love of her life-even if he doesn’t believe in love himself. Between faking a relationship so the meddling town doesn’t catch on to what’s really happening on their practice dates, and tutoring lessons that convince Annie to add passion to her list of must-haves in a mate, it doesn’t take long for the lines of their friendship to blur…
I am the quiet one in my family. The one with her nose always in a book because she prefers worlds where she doesn’t have to interact with other humans.

Annie Walker is our resident “sweet girl”. Even though she is genuinely an amazing caring person, I loved watching her come out of her shell and grow. A lot of that is thanks to our hot body guard, Will. Will who doesn’t believe in love yet clearly has a heart of gold. I adored watching these two fall into each other and I loved all the dimensions we see of them.
If you’re all about that “let’s fake date” trope, then this one is for you. You cannot help but root for Will and Annie and I adored flying through this book.
