Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindergarten teacher than somebody who could kill you with a wine bottle opener. A+ humor and banter, fast-paced action, and Katherine Center’s trademark heartwarming style make it a perfect romantic comedy with big-screen feels. I laughed so many times while reading The Bodyguard, and I’m excited for everyone else to experience it for the first time as well. It’s as funny and over-the-top as it sounds. Until the stalker leaves a threatening letter, handknit sweater, and nudes on his doorstep, and the danger becomes all too real. Because Jack’s mother is sick, he insists on keeping his stalker-and bodyguard-a secret, so Hannah agrees to pretend to be his girlfriend while visiting his family’s Texas ranch. Hannah Brooks is an Executive Protection Agent (aka bodyguard), and she’s been hired to protect superstar actor Jack Stapleton from a corgi-breeding stalker.
To put it simply, this book made me happy. Katherine Center’s The Bodyguard is a stand-out among feel-good reads. Sometimes, what I needed was an intense cathartic reading experience. Luckily, just like for many others, the escape of fiction helped me get through the worst of it. I think it’s safe to say that reality has been especially exhausting these past couple of years.
