I enjoy Center's books generally but I'm starting to wonder if The Bodyguard is my favorite and I'm spending time chasing what I loved about that book in all the others. The Bodyguard had me laughing out loud the whole way through and was absolutely delightful. Rom-commers just didn't do the same thing.
My biggest issue with this book was the love interest. He felt pretty flat and by the end while I enjoyed the conclusion I still didn't really get why she was interested in him. Because of that, I didn't get the good vibes that you want out of the finale. He was just... grumpy guy who isn't grumpy now.
I will say, I had a moment where I got extremely emotional while reading this book and that waswhen she's at the airport in the climax of the book. When the plane is held for her and she sees the pilot... oy. I don't even care that it would literally never happen haha. IT just got me right in the feels.
I do think though overall this was a bit of miss for me. I don' t think Center is the auto-purchase that I thought she was and I need to reevaluate where I source her books moving forward.
