Better Watch Out ~ Review

Better Watch Out
Defensemen Romantic Holiday Adventure #1
By Natalie Walters

Frankie Frost, such a good name for someone visiting New York City at Christmas time, has just had her heart broken by her now ex.  And her big brother is more than urging her to leave NYC behind and visit family in D.C., so not Frannie's plan. But concerned brother Ryan knows best!

When Ryan Frost reaches out to Andrew Bishop, a whole series of events is set into motion, including an incident with pepper spray. Let's just say it was painful. 

Despite Frannie's objections that she can handle herself, Andrew finds himself in protection mode. Not easy, but he's up for some challenges, if only he didn't have a protection detail to get to, like immediately. And it is obvious that Frannie has no idea what dangers walk the streets of New York, but he does.

This reads like a Hallmark movie, the only this missing is some fun Christmas music playing in the background. Can a broken heart find a potential new love, one that is true amid the hustle and bustle of NYC during Christmas? Well, you'll need to read the book and find out. You won't be sorry. This is a cute read with some fun moments. And with a cast of supporting characters, one can only hope for more Defensemen Holiday Romances.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.


About the Book:
An accidental meet-cute, a case of mistaken identity, and a bucket-list of Christmas activities befitting a Hallmark movie make this holiday romantic adventure the perfect Christmas read.

Leave the candy canes, take the pepper spray!

Nothing screams Christmas like a week spent ice skating, visiting Santa, and sharing a kiss or two under the mistletoe. Frannie Frost has crafted the perfect bucket list of romantic activities to surprise her boyfriend in the most magical place at Christmas time—New York City. When he unexpectedly becomes her ex, her plans are derailed leaving her with a choice. Wallow in self-pity at Christmas time or take matters into her own hands.

Former NHL defenseman turned personal protection agent, Andrew Bishop, loves his job—when things go as planned—but Frannie Frost is definitely not part of the plan. Still, when her brother, the man who saved Andrew’s life last year, asks him to deliver his sister safely to the airport, he can’t say no.

The only problem? Frannie isn’t leaving. She’s determined to make the most of her trip by checking off a bucket list of cliché Christmas actives that would make even Santa’s elves jealous. Andrew’s content to let her go until he learns that Frannie’s been mistaken for his client and thrust into the midst of danger.

Better Watch Out is a sweet romantic holiday adventure that gives you all of laughs of a rom-com while adding a touch of suspense. Tropes you’re sure to love include the new girl in the city vibe, stranded at Christmas, under the mistletoe, forced proximity, and a touch of enemies to lovers. Enjoy this romantic adventure that’s sure to make your holidays merry and bright.
