Katherine Center’s The Bodyguard is My perfect 10 of a book. As funny and sweet as all the very best nineties rom-coms, but with Centers signature heart-tugging depth. I wish I could erase it from my mind just to read it again for the first time. A shot of pure joy. Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers
Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindergarten teacher than somebody who could kill you with a wine bottle opener. Or a ballpoint pen. Or a dinner napkin. But the truth is, shes an Executive Protection Agent (aka “bodyguard”), and she just got hired to protect superstar actor Jack Stapleton from his middle-aged, corgi-breeding stalker.
Jack Stapletons a household name – captured by paparazzi on beaches the world over, famous for, among other things, rising out of the waves in all manner of clingy board shorts and glistening like a Roman deity. But a few years back, in the wake of a family tragedy, he dropped from the public eye and went off the grid.
When Jacks mom gets sick, he comes home to the familys Texas ranch to help out. Only one catch: He doesnt want his family to know about his stalker. Or the bodyguard thing. And so Hannah – against her will and her better judgment – finds herself pretending to be Jacks girlfriend as a cover. Even though her ex, like a jerk, says no one will believe it.
Hannah hardly believes it, herself. But the more time she spends with Jack, the more real it all starts to seem. And there lies the heartbreak. Because its easy for Hannah to protect Jack. But protecting her own, long-neglected heart? Thats the hardest thing shes ever done.
