Reviews with content warning for Death - The Bodyguard

**The bodyguard**

🤠🎬🏇😘

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

**Synopsis:**
Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindergarten teacher than somebody who could kill you. But the truth is, she’s a bodyguard, and she just got hired to protect superstar actor Jack Stapleton from his stalker.

Jack Stapleton’s a household name—captured by paparazzi on beaches the world over, famous for, among other things, rising out of the waves in all manner of clingy board shorts and glistening like a Roman deity. But a few years back, in the wake of a family tragedy, he dropped from the public eye and went off the grid.

They’ve got a secret.
Only one catch: He doesn’t want his family to know about his stalker. Or the bodyguard thing. And so Hannah—against her will and her better judgment—finds herself pretending to be Jack’s girlfriend as a cover.

What could possibly go wrong?

**Personal thoughts:**I really enjoyed the book. I just feel the other books I’ve read before overpowered my thoughts. I found myself enjoying the book but not enough to think and dwell on it. I love the clean romance 🥰 and loved the ending. I think I like the middle to ending more than the beginning. I loved the romance. Only criticism I have is I think the trope “he will never like me” is a little bit much. I get it, insecurities are real but I think when it stems from I’m normal and he’s famous, it can get unrealistic. I think if it played on her fear of trusting others it’s more realistic.

**Spicy level:** 🌶️🌶️/5 | fade to black, making out

A classic fun 00s romcom of a book. Hannah is driven, Jack is ridiculous and I love them both so much. It's devastating and delightful in one

Love Katherine center. Her books always have uplifting endings which I appreciate so much. Then the body of the book is always a mix of sad and happy but not to worry, this one is not very sad. Thank u bc my seasonal depression cannot take that at the moment.
The couple was really cute and the plot was interesting. Jack is perfect. My only complaint is some of the side characters. Robbie is so mean and dumb to the point I don’t understand how Hannah could have dated him in the first place (or Taylor!!). Also didn’t love Glen he straight up treats his employees like shit. Lastly Kennedy or whoever was so over the top it was unbelievable. But other than the obnoxious side characters this story was just what I needed.

What could easily have been just a run of the mill contemporary romance actually packed quite a punch, exploring loss, grief, and a bit of PTSD along with the strength it takes to love and be loved in return. While the plot elements that brought Hannah and Jack together were contrived, the growth of their relationship felt natural and I sure did root for them. When a romance makes me cry, it's a goodun.
