Reviews with content warning for Stalking - The Bodyguard

Fantastic book!! The characters were great. I learned a lot about life and fame through them. I hated Hannah’s ex-boyfriend. He dumped her right after her mom’s funeral and then said she was a bad kisser.

Spoiler

He then hooked up with her best friend and then broke up with her.

What a sleaze-bag! After all that, he tried to get back with his ex, Hannah (you know, the one he dumped, then dissed). It’s a good thing she told him to go fuck himself (she didn’t say it in those words, though—although, she should have). I didn’t care for the parts where it would say “He looked at me, like Really?” I wish the author did not do that so much. Other than that, the story was enjoyable. It deserves the four and a half stars that I gave it. This was an entertaining, light read. I would recommend it to fans of romance books. 👍🏼👍🏼

What a pleasant surprise!! I didn't expect to love this book, but I DEVOURED it.

Hannah is such a badass. I know we don't get to see too much of her being an actual bodyguard, but that's okay. She didn't need it. She is smart, vulnerable, smart-mouthed, and loveable. She doesn't need to prove her worth by killing the bad guy. She does it with her kindness and smarts. I adored her.

I did not expect five stars from this, but what a happy surprise.

Funny, adorable, fast-paced. Exactly what I was hoping it would be. The MC’s voice is sharp and fun, the story is cotton candy light, and the whole thing is just a delight. Single-POV romances aren’t usually my favorite (and this book is on the tamer side), but overall a rollicking good time.

Another 5-star read from my queen, Katherine Center!

Read this book if you like:

🌼Fake dating

🌼Forced proximity

🌼One bed

🌼Celebrity romance

🌼Forbidden romance

The Bodyguard is the story of Hannah Brooks, an Executive Protection Agent (A.K.A. a bodyguard) who has been assigned to protect famous movie star Jack Stapleton from a crazy, corgi-breeding stalker. Because Jack’s mother is sick, he insists on keeping his stalker—and bodyguard—a secret. Hannah agrees to pretend to be Jack’s girlfriend while visiting the Stapleton family ranch in Texas. But when the stalker leaves a threatening letter, hand-knit sweater, and nudes on his doorstep, the danger becomes all too real.

This book was so incredibly heartwarming and just downright funny. The humor and banter had me laughing out loud. Once again, Katherine Center has written a masterpiece. It is just a perfect romantic comedy!
