Hannah Brooks is a bodyguard (which is unique), because I never expected this. Her life is going well until they go wrong.

When she owes her mum, her boyfriend dumps her, and because of grief she’s taken off jobs. Then she gets on a case where she has to pretend to be a client’s girlfriend — and things take a more cliche turn.

I’d have loved to enjoy it, but given that the only unique thing about the story was her being the bodyguard, nothing else struck me.

A new Katherine Center book?! Sign me up! Katherine's books never fail to entertain and make me laugh. Her writing is so easy to get lost in; I always feel like I'm right there, a part of the book.
I appreciated Net Galley's opportunity for an early read for The Bodyguard. I loved that the woman was the bodyguard in the story! And she is so relatable as every woman. Having Jack, a hot celebrity as her "guardee" was a fun fantasy, I daresay, of all of us.
I'll be waiting expectantly for Katherine Center's next book... as always

I read this book a few months ago and forgot to review it, so that's going to change what I have to say about it. I have to say it wasn't terribly memorable, but it's cute and it had a good ending. There's a side plot about the ex-boyfriend and a coworker and that's kind of trite, but not in an annoying way. I remember the book being a good escape and a quick paced read. I rated it four stars on Goodreads after I read it.

One of my favorite books of the summer! Katherine Center is an auto-read author. She's just wonderful. This one felt lighter than some of her previous books, but was still emotionally resonant. There is romance but it's not explicit, for those who prefer that.

This was a fun book. It made me laugh because it was so witty. Learning about the bodyguard aspect was also interesting! There was mystery, family drama, work drama, relationships, lots to keep you turning pages in this book!

OMG I loved this book so much!!!!!!!!!!!! In this readers opinion Katherine Center is becoming one of the queens of romcoms!!!!!!!! Her books are such feel good books that you instantly fall in love right along with her characters.

Wonderful story from start to finish. Do not want it to end. Well done Katherine Center. I will be happy to recommend this book

Such a fun read! I didn't read the sypnosis beforehand so I literally had no clue that the main female character was going to be the bodyguard! This was cute, sweet, and I loved our two MC together. A light beachy read IMO.

I recently read "The Bodyguard" by Katherine Center and I was completely captivated from start to finish. The story follows a young woman named Madison who is forced to hire a bodyguard after receiving death threats. The bodyguard, a former Secret Service agent named Drew, is gruff and rough around the edges, but he's also fiercely protective and loyal.

As Madison and Drew spend more time together, they begin to develop feelings for each other. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Drew is constantly putting his life on the line to protect Madison and their future is uncertain.

Center does a fantastic job of building tension and keeping the reader on the edge of their seat. The romance between Madison and Drew is steamy and heartwarming, and the mystery surrounding the death threats kept me guessing until the very end.

Overall, "The Bodyguard" is a thrilling and emotional read that I highly recommend. Center's writing is engaging and the characters are well-developed and relatable. If you enjoy romantic suspense novels, this is definitely a book you won't want to miss.

Love Katherine Center and pretty much anything that woman puts out.

Addicting read with some mystery, action, and romance all in the one bundle.

I was even grabbing for the kleenex a few times in there!

One of my favorite romances of the 2022! I devoured this book in 24 hours (6 months ago) and STILL can remember almost every scene. Things I LOVED: kickass female main character, celebrity love interest, witty banter and tension, SLOW BURN, and so much more! I usually do not reach for romance books that are not at least a little steamy, but I did not miss it at all in this book. The ending was a little outlandish, but so so fun! Definitely recommend!

This book was quite good! I enjoyed the chemistry between the two main leads. I also really liked Jack Stapleton’s character. It was just the book I was looking for.

I love Katherine Center and she is always a must read for me. This book was no different and didn’t disappoint!

LOVED THIS ONE! Everything about the breaking of stereotypes to the relationships between all characters captivated me from the start. I cannot recommend this one enough! One of my favorite romances of the year!

I enjoyed this so much! I love Katherine Center's books - they are so heartwarming, like a nice hug at the end of a long day. They are just delightful and The Bodyguard lived up to everything I've come to expect from her books. A fun read from beginning to end, predictable yes but so enjoyable and sweet.

I’ve gushed about KC before, but honestly, she can do no wrong in my eyes. The Bodyguard is pure FUN. KC said in an interview that she worried it was maybe *too* fun, then decided that after the last couple years we’ve had, there’s no such thing. I agree. It was everything I needed.

I DEVOURED this book, and loved every bite. Hannah is a bodyguard with dry wit and Jack is her assignment with a tragic past. The fake dating trope was executed perfectly with these characters who continually had those ‘wait, is it still fake…?’ moments that I love. This story exposed realities of complex grief and the power of forgiveness whilst remaining light and deeply funny. I really, really loved reading this story and couldn’t recommend it enough!

Soooo good. I just loved this one, it was so cute. Katherine Center writes such cut and great reads. This was no different. I recommend this

Once again, Ms. Center has created a delightful world full of great characters, fun and interesting situations, and the right amount of chemistry to keep the reader turning the pages. I thoroughly enjoyed the tension, sexual and otherwise, between Hannah and Jack and I was totally immersed in their drama.

The Bodyguard is a book you can lose yourself in to escape the real world for a bit. I loved it as I have loved all of Ms. Center's books. And now... I have to wait for her next one. That is always so hard. But seriously, I know you will love this book too!

I really like Katherine Center. She uses the typical rom-com tropes -- this one is the fake relationship -- but she has an ear for dialogue, especially laugh aloud banter. She also researches unusual careers carefully, and provides her heroines with unusual occupations. In this case, Hannah is a member of a team specializing in executive protection.

It's a quick read (I read it in one sitting) and it is a lot of fun.

I think this one just passed Things You Save in a Fire as my favorite of the author's books.

Thank you #StMartin'sPress #NetGalley for letting me read this book in an advance reading copy
