100 Lifetimes of Us by Maggie Gates
5.0

Maggie Gates never misses! Everything she writes is just so good. I am screaming over this book—Ted Lasso meets bodyguard romance, and I am OBSESSED. 😍

Miles Zhou is a literal ray of sunshine wrapped in Crocs, sipping on pink drinks, and rocking swim trunks like it’s a lifestyle. He’s also a badass MMA fighter turned bodyguard who could take down a threat faster than you can say apple pie. And Annie? She’s a pie making queen with a secret identity as a romance novelist, a sprinkle of anxiety fueled chaos, and enough sarcasm to keep Miles on his toes.

The vibes? IMMACULATE. We’re talking small town charm, secret recipes, and a whole lot of mystery and suspense that’ll keep you guessing. Plus, the fourth wall breaking nods to the romance genre? Chef’s kiss. 👩‍🍳💋

The romance? Sweet and spicy, just like Annie’s pies. The chemistry between these two is just so palpable and perfect, and watching Miles knock down Annie’s walls (literally and figuratively) is as heartwarming as it is hilarious. I mean, who knew bodyguard duty could be so steamy and swoony?! Also, him helping her with her, um... bedroom issues was seriously PERFECT and he is just the ideal book boyfriend. I am in love with him!

If you’re a fan of sunshine MMCs, sharp witted FMCs, and rom coms with a twist of suspense, 100 Lifetimes of Us will have you laughing, swooning, and wanting a Miles of your own!
