Bodyguard by Tabatha Kiss

3.0

I really wanted to like this book, and for the most part I did. After joining the military, Fox unwillingly ended up in a very dangerous secret organization as an assassin. Fox was the super sacrificial hero. Everything he did was motivated by his love for Dani and to protect his family.

I found the first scene difficult and unnecessary. Fox with an "escort" who looks like Dani...just weird. Readers will understand exactly what I mean when this part is read.

Dani's father (Fox's stepfather) was a jackass to the "nth" power. He treated Dani like a child, and she let him. She's like 23, but no backbone whatsoever! It was quite infuriating!

And Dani! Ugh! I really wanted to like her because she's the girl Fox loves but had to give up. I just could not connect with her. There was just too much push-pull with her and she knew she was in danger. I wanted to sympathize with her because she grieved him, thinking he was dead but I just didn't feel it. It's crazy because Dani was forward, feisty, and sassy with everyone but that uptight, manipulative father of hers.

I did love the other characters though. Boxcar, Caleb, and Mrs. Clark were awesome, and they definitely added dimension to the story.

I hope I'm not coming off as super picky. I've read other Tabitha Kiss books that I absolutely love!
