"A Lauren Blakely book is a guarantee of a good time." – Meghan Quinn, USA Today bestselling author

Grumpy meets sunshine with a Hollywood twist in this charming and hilarious small town bodyguard romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely.

I really don't need a bodyguard – I run a small-town lavender farm, for bee's sake! But I'm getting one anyway since my identical twin sister just booked the movie role of a lifetime and it's being shot in my hometown. And guess who my new broody, tattooed protector is? None other than the guy I had a one-night stand with last month.

Correction: he's the guy with the wicked mouth and heated eyes who ran out on me before the bang without so much as a goodbye. And of course, he arrives in my tiny hometown where the film is shooting right in the nick of time to save me from the paparazzi at the market. The coffee shop. The dress shop, too. I'm trying hard to stay mad after the third time the sexy jerk rescues me.

Maybe just one night would relieve all this tension? But one night turns into another, and then into sharing hearts and secrets that are best locked up. Especially since he's leaving and I'm staying, and there's no way we can be more than a summer romance that ends far too soon.

It Seemed Like a Good Idea is the first in a brand-new, quirky small town romcom series full of hysterical situations and quirky, memorable characters who are ready to fall in love.
