The Bodyguard is a little reverse of what you might expect if you're thinking of the sort Whitney Houston style Bodyguard of the 90s. Cause though Hannah is smaller than you might assume a bodyguard would be, she's perfectly capable of handling any threat. Including threats to her latest client, Jack Stapleton. Only, it doesn't quite feel like a regular assignment. She has to pose as his girlfriend in order to be close and casual enough to protect him, but it's not always feeling like pretending.
I think this is a cute read in line with the other books I've read by Katherine Center. She has a nice way of making a slowburn feel significant all the way through, like you're not just building building building waiting for them to kiss but that you're building a foundation outside of physical intimacy and any sort of romance. She also seems to have a thing for workplace romances that she does her best to represent ethically.
Generally a fun read with a bit of a twist on the traditional. I liked the characters despite how dense they could be. The best friend ex-boyfriend situation was a bit underdone to me, felt like it should've been more important or shouldn't have existed. Other than that, a quick book that won't feel like a waste of time.
