A review by robynlynae
The Bodyguard by Katherine Center
3.0
This was a nice, sweet, quick romance. It follows Hannah Brooks, who has been hired to be a bodyguard for the mega-famous and equally handsome Jack Stapleton as he returns home while his mother is recovering from cancer. Hijinks ensue and soon she has to pretend to be his girlfriend and live at his family's ranch for a few weeks. Sadly, there was only one bed but she slept on the floor.
For the most part, I enjoyed these characters. I didn't always buy into their motivations and that made it hard for me to fully fall into this book, but they were funny, their connection felt genuine, and the romance was sweet. I loved the idea that the woman was the one (mostly) looking out for the man but I also loved the moments where he looked out for her.
This book didn't fully pass my escape test, but I did enjoy it. I recommend for people who love subverted tropes, tortured golden boys, and secret horse tricks.
