Publisher Description
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.

Best tropes in one!
This one felt like Kristin Canary took all of my favorite tropes and smushed them together to create this MASTERPIECE. And yes, she’s a closed door romcom author, and she does it so beautifully.
TROPES WE GET:
Brother’s Best Friend
Forbidden Romance
Body Guard & Princess
Forced Proximity
Small Town
Fake Engagement
This follows Chloe, a princess for a small country around England, and Frederick is her brother’s best friend (the future king) and his body guard. Chloe is in the states and wants to help plan a surprise little wedding ceremony for her brother and soon-to-be sister in law so that it’s everything they want. But without exposing herself or her family to the small town, Hallmark Beach, she lies and says it’s her and her emergency body guard, Frederick.
Can they plan a wedding in under 2 weeks?! My gut says Chloe can do whatever she puts her mind to. But also, can we talk about that cake tasting scene? My heart EXPLODED.
A huge thank you to Kristin for the e-ARC, as well as gifted physical copy of the book!
Loved it!
This book was wonderful. Well written, funny, and romantic.
I loved the characters especially Frederick (not my favorite name). He was so manly, but he was also pretty deep.
The author did a great job with the dialogue- it was witty and believable. I also loved how the characters overcame obstacles to be together.
This book had a lot of my favorite tropes- fake engagement, forced proximity…. So much fun to read.
Super cute story!!
Solid 4.5 stars! This was a super cute story with some fun characters realizing they maybe can have what they their heart calls to…maybe. Great writing! Can’t wait for the next book to release!
