Ever Munreaux is everything I’m not:
Wealthy
Flawless
A cheerleader
She’s also everything I hate:
Arrogant
Untrustworthy
Cruel
And I just moved in with her…as her bodyguard.


Crue Brantley is everything I want to be:
Honest
Thoughtful
Free
He’s also everything my father says he is:
Disposable
Clueless
Off-limits
Despite spending every day—and some of our nights—together, I can’t let him know who I really am…or what he’s protecting me from.

College. Bodyguard. Enemies to lovers. Oh my!
Hide and Keep is perfect for all those that love college, I'll protect you at all cost, enemies to lovers types of romances books. It has the wealth, characters going through lots, nicknames, spice, angst and so SO much more. Overall I really enjoyed this one, even though it's not tropes and genre I typically gear towards. A. Marie books have so much depth and meaning she does it so beautifully in the wah she tells these characters stories.

    So I had tears in my eyes and was sucked in since the dedication 😂

    This was my first A. Marie book, and it did not disappoint one bit. She did a beautiful job captivating both Ever and Crue. Not just the two as characters but laying out their past and future traumas. This was a long read, but honestly it didn’t feel like it. It was a WILD RIDE from cover to cover!

    Ever is our FMC who is rich college girly who rebelling against her father who is a total jacka$$.

    Crue is our MMC bodyguard who was hired by Ever’s dad to keep her in line and out of trouble.

    What kept me alive the whole time was Crue and Ever’s tension and BANTER! Omg the banter was PHENOMENAL. I was dying laughing at everything they pulled on each other.

    Ever is very high strung and gave Crue a run for his money! But she is completely misunderstood by all. She’s always putting up an act. No one has ever taken the time to get the know the true Ever…

    But let me tell you Crue (my man) 🤤 That man has a hunger I’ve never seen 🤭🙊
    You have to be kidding me with how sweet and caring he is! Trust me if I was him I probably would’ve quit after day one 😂 so I give he some much props to holding his own!

    The spice was SPICIN 🥵🌶️ Crue knows how to take care of a lady *fans self*

    4.0 out of 5 stars She’s the red flag
    Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2025

    In “Rise and Shine,” she’s the red flag. I really felt for Crue from all the things she put him through. Now, let me preface that she’s 19. First-year students in college. A cheerleader. A wealthy daughter of a motorcycle fortune. And he’s been hired as her bodyguard. I’m sure, intentionally written, her actions were very immature. However, the story eventually evolves to explain why she does what she does.

    Hide and Seek is a hefty book and very much a slow burn. A good portion of the story is the push-and-pull between Crue and Ever. The steamy scenes do kick in later and are good. I was surprised towards the end and was relieved at the same time by Crue’s actions. Overall, I was entertained.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Could be better, could be worse
    Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2025
    I don't have a lot of patience for bratty FMCs and Ever is one of the brattiest ever written and completely unlikable. Add to that MMC Crue who is kind of a dingus and I found myself hoping this wouldn't be an HEA and they would both jump off the cliff on Ever's property in a double suicide. I know, it's dark, but that's how annoying they were for me.

    The book was long, but it actually read really quickly thanks to the author's writing style. I only felt the pace slow just past the halfway mark, otherwise it moved really well. Spice didn't happen until that point also, but when it did start it was a 3.5 out of 5.

    I was confused at how little Crue knew about female anatomy. I get that he was pretty sheltered due to his accident, but it still struck me as odd. Also, how was he hired as a bodyguard but had to literally Google "how to be a bodyguard." Seems like Ever's father had the resources to hire the best of the best, not some young guy with little to no experience.

    Also, is Hide and Keep at real thing in CT? Now I need to look that up. Ha.

    **SPOILERS BELOW THIS POINT**

    I had A LOT of issues with the end of this book. I find it hard to believe that Ever's dad just let her go in the end and didn't sue Crue for breach of contract to, at the very least, get the million dollars back. I also find it hard to believe that he wasn't able to put two and two together and figure out where she ran off to when she was staying with Crue's family.

    Crue joining cheer as a base...what? Like he's just all of a sudden as good as these people who have been doing this their whole lives? And he's the only one allowed to touch Ever - flyers have multiple people touching them during stunts. It came off a bit trite.

    I noted this above, but Ever's behavior through the bulk of this book was just SO CRINGE. To the point that even when she finally let her walls down, she was beyond redemption for me. I didn't want a win for her and Crue was going to be collateral damage as far as I'm concerned.

    5.0 out of 5 stars My new favorite Bodyguard Romance book!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2025
    4.5 ⭐️ | 3/5 chili pepper rating

    📖 Crue and Ever met at the yearly Hide and Keep event and shared an incredible kiss, only for Ever to have to leave suddenly. She doesn’t expect to see him again until he shows up as her new bodyguard, appointed by her dad to keep her in line.

    Tropes: Bodyguard romance, hidden identity, romantic suspense, close proximity, witty banter

    Ever and Crue are like oil and water, in their personalities, interests, and upbringings. Crue sees Ever as a snobby, spoiled rich girl who is out to get him fired, not knowing she is his butterfly who got away.

    Once the two start to get to know each other, they learn there really is a fine line between love and hate. The way they end up taking care of each other and being the first to really SEE each other is so so special and wow, what a journey to get there.

    The enemies to lovers chemistry was doing its thing… and the juxtaposition in their positions, with Crue being “the hired help” but being the only one to make her feel the way she does was ICONIC.

    The dry humor and way they fought with each other was perfection. The insults were so creative and I was laughing out loud.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2025
    Ever is the only daughter of a heartless motorcycle tycoon. She has to play her part for her no matter the cost to herself. Crue has just been tasked as her new bodyguard, who according to her father is to ‘protect her from herself’. As they both are trying to escape their own demons, they find themselves each ensnared by the other for what they aren’t and can never be. I cannot get over how amazing this book was! I couldn’t focus on anything else but finding out how their story played out. There was never a lull in the storyline! I recommend this read for anyone and everyone!! This is hands down my favorite romance book!

    Ever is the only heirs to Munreaux Motorcycles. With that type of money there should be endless freedom instead she's in a gilded cage that's becoming more and more suffocating. Crue is no one he has nothing but he's been hired to be her bodyguard. Her 24/7 watch dog. He won't be chased off so easily like all the others. He will protect her, he will watch her ever move. He will make her his. Wait she's a spoiled brat he doesn't want that, does he? What do you do when the only way to fly is to jump.
    This enemies to lovers, opposites (fight and) attract, rich girl poor boy is filler with amazing banter and chemistry. With explosive spice !
