Book Review: The Bodyguard by Katherine Center

The Bodyguard

by Katherine Center (Center)

 

If you like the movie Miss Congeniality, I’m 98% certain you’re going to like this novel. The character description and behavior of our heroine, Hannah Brooks, kept putting me in mind of Gracie Hart as portrayed by Sandra Bullock. Like Gracie, Hannah is a ‘tough cookie’. She’s a personal security specialist who gets assigned to protect a pretty-boy actor who’s trying to fly under the radar while visiting his ill mother. Complications already exist, and more ensue. There is plenty of humor in the story, but also moments of tenderness, conflict, and deep sadness. It’s a combination of romance, comedy, and real-life struggles. How will it all turn out? You’ll need to read it to know!

 

(If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try some other books by Center:  Happiness for Beginners, Things You Save In a Fire;or What You Wish For.)
