About this ebook

From the author of the bestselling California Dreamin' sweet romantic comedy series comes a new adventure in the small town of Hallmark Beach…

All I wanted to do was throw my brother a surprise early wedding.

As the prince of a small country, his wedding day has been eclipsed by pomp and circumstance—and he and his fiancée deserve more. So when I find myself in a charming small town on the coast of California, I decide to plan them the perfect royal wedding without all the cameras and expectations.

But as a princess, I can't be here alone.

So my brother sends along the country's top bodyguard—his best mate, Frederick. Who ALSO happens to be the man I'm completely mad about. Not that either of them know that.

Then, assumptions are made ...

That's right. The townspeople who are helping me plan the wedding assume that I'm the bride—and that Frederick's the groom. But it makes the perfect cover story. They'll never suspect it's actually Prince Topher's nuptials I'm planning. We can keep this royal wedding under wraps from the press.

A fake engagement is the perfect plan.

But I didn't quite think through how it would be to pretend with him. To hug him. To share a room with him. To kiss him. In fact, it's going to take all the mental and emotional strength I have to remember that this fake engagement to my brother's best friend ... isn't real. No matter how brilliantly we might fit together.

Perfect for fans of:

✔️flirtatious banter

✔️brother's best friend stories

✔️forbidden romance

✔️royalty romance

✔️fake engagements

✔️forced proximity

Beachside Kisses With My Bodyguard is Book 1 in the new Hallmark Beach small town sweet romantic comedy series, where a charming yet quirky town on the coast of California comes to life. Though Princess Chloe and Frederick first appeared in the California Dreamin' series, it's absolutely not necessary to have read those stories in order to enjoy this one. This dual-POV novel is filled with all the sizzling romantic tension and swoons possible without on-page intimacy.

The Hallmark Beach sweet romantic comedy series is for fans of Emma St. Clair, Jenny Proctor, Katie Bailey, and Katherine Center.

Beachside Kisses With My Bodyguard is an obsessed worthy, heartwarming, sweet, precious, whimsical, jaw-dropping, swoon worthy, unpredictable, romantic, and maddening (in the best possible way!!) story! This is a dual pov, sweet romantic comedy, and clean wholesome romance I would recommend to any teen even though it is technically an adult book! It is the first book in the Hallmark Beach Small Town Romance series and let me tell you I cannot wait for the rest of this heart capturing series!! It is a new favorite series, but this author has been a forever favorite since the day I first read one of her books! Her California Dreamin' series is wonderful and has some sneak peeks of the main characters in this book if you want to start at the beginning! This book a MUST read! I truly adore it and cannot say enough good things about it! The relationship Chloe and Frederick have is so sweet and pure! Their banner is adorable and the steamy kisses are real!

I want to move to Hallmark Beach! This first book in Kristin Canary's spinoff is everything I had hoped it would be. Introducing us to the new cast of characters in this tight knit small town community while bringing Princess Chloe and Bodyguard Frederick's relationship to fruition, this book fits it's tropes to a tee while providing many laughs and sweet swoony moments. I loved Chloe and Frederick in their cameos in the California Dreaming series, and I'm so happy they got their own book and HEA. With just the right amount of "but we can't" this book balances duty, family, forbidden love, with doing the things that make you come alive. Chloe's newfound friends in Hallmark Beach are personalities I can't get enough of. I'm looking forward to the rest of this series and each woman finding her own happily ever after.

While this book is the beginning book in a new series, it features characters that were introduced to readers in The California Dreamin' series. It isn't necessary to have read that first, but it does add to the enjoyment of this story to have some of that back story, especially Saving the Secret Prince. Anyway, whether you've read any previous books or not, this one is great. I loved the chemistry between Chloe and Fredrick. Prior to reading this, I'd listened to a historical romance with heavier themes. I really needed a fun, light romcom. This was perfect. I'm definitely a sucker for royalty tropes. So I was super excited to see that the princess got her own story! And Fredrick... Swoony Freddy! I was gifted an advanced copy of this book by the author. I'm happy to leave an honest review.

About the author

Kristin is a wife and boy mom who functions best on peach tea and cookie dough ice cream.

Kristin is never fully satisfied with a movie, TV show, or book without a hefty dose of romance in it, and she's grateful to be living a true-life love story with her own crazy little family.
