 this was so much fun and exactly the lighthearted read i was looking for after some heavy fantasy. this writing style was quirky and silly and i loved the inverse of the bodyguard/client trope. it’s usually a male bodyguard and a female client and i LOVED the swap here.

Katherine Center knows how to create an emotional roller coaster that feels like the most fun ride you’ve ever taken! The Bodyguard will have you in a LITERAL fit of giggles one moment, crying the next, then tensely stunned after that - all while tugging on your heartstrings.

There are many aspects of this book that I adore, but one really sticks out: the protagonist. The main character is an incredibly intelligent woman who recognizes her own unhealthy and petty patterns, but realistically (and often hilariously) chooses to go against her better judgement anyway. The scenes she finds herself in are magnificently tied to the overarching themes. And in the end, she learns some invaluable lessons about love and life that rounds out her thoughtful character arc. Plus, her POV highlights all the reasons why I love first person, single perspective - the comedic internal monologue amongst external chaos that becomes like a familiar favorite joke throughout the story.

I could go on and on about why I loved this book, but a review of it cannot compare to the unforgettable experience of actually reading it. So, I’ll just leave you with one final thought: READ THIS BOOK!

He is a two time winner of People’s Sexiest Man Alive and a world famous movie star. He needs security but wants to keep it a secret, so his family doesn’t worry. In comes Hannah, no one would ever suspect that she is an Executive Protection Agent who knows several ways to kill a man with whatever household item that is closest. To explain her presence, they pretend she is his girlfriend. But who would believe Jack Stapleton would date someone so ordinary?
