❄️Review❄️
Cyrus is a successful actor who has realized that fame has its drawbacks both when it comes to his security and finding a woman to share his life with. He thought the tide had turned and was having a wonderful time on his blind date with Ryainne however he never expected that the next time he would see her was when she being introduced as his bodyguard and that her name was Beth.
Beth is looking forward to starting her assignment as a bodyguard the next day but first she is convinced by her friend Ryainne to go on a blind date in her stead and give her an honest opinion of the man. She didn’t expect the feelings she would have for him in their short time together or that he was about to become her next assignment and that is when the fun really begins.
The banter between them is humorous, the chemistry is intense, and we soon realize that there is so much more to both these characters than first appears. Both Cyrus and Beth are looking for something in their lives seeing them open their hearts to each other is everything you could want and more.
