Challenge Corner discussion

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...

(view spoiler)[Butt munch? lol OMG that cracked me up! I like how it's going so far. I don't always like the books where a woman is dying to get a man, but I think this one is cute and it makes me laugh. It's obvious that Will and Annie will fall in love, there'll probably be some bumps, and they'll break up and get back together. Pretty formulaic, I'm sure, but I love it so far. lol A body guard to be your date coach and he's actually into you and vice-versa. Still love it. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I knew he'd take on the "coaching" position. lol That first lesson...my, oh, my! Sexy! Playing the field only lasts for so long. I think, generally speaking, that most people want to find "their person" and settle down. I guess that's where Will is and Annie is the woman to make him feel the need. I love that she ended up getting a tattoo of a book.

Ethan and Will had such a bad childhood. Will was only 2 years older yet playing parent to his brother. I can see why he does what he does, being a bodyguard.

Oh, and Mabel cracks me up. lol She likes Will for Annie and she should know! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Lol I loved their make-out session in front of her family and John. They would've been shocked for sure!

I love Mabel..."The man isn't trying to make drugs, you ding-dong. He's trying to make love." She is too funny. I loved her advice to Annie, and saying that she regrets things she never said far more than things she has said. I love that and totally agree. (hide spoiler)]

Finished

(view spoiler)[That fan who hurt Will, oh my gosh. When they told Annie I totally understood how she'd panic. When someone starts with "he's okay..." it does concern you. I love how it ended. (hide spoiler)]
