I thought this was just okay. For a romance, it wasn't all that romantic. First, the concept of temporary marriages is the opposite of romantic, and I'm not sure how I feel about that being in a romance at all. The "falling in love with a bodyguard" concept has huge potential, except that she was already mostly in love with him (it seemed) but didn't act on it. Most of the book wasn't about romance at all, which would be fine, except that with a bride on the cover I had expectations.
I thought the action/suspense bits were a little bit unbelievable. It was a stretch to think that this kind of thing would actually happen in the way that it did. Additionally, Neil and Gwen's relationship wasn't all that special. He married her under false pretenses (which she never called him on) and only even decided to pursue her AFTER her life had been threatened and he really should have been on even higher alert.
The idea was decent, but it wasn't really executed as well as it could have been. Not terrible, but not great, either.
