The Bodyguard by Katherine Center


WOW! I thoroughly enjoyed The Bodyguard by Katherine Center! The story centers around Hannah who is a female bodyguard charged with taking care of Jack, a famous movie star. The story is told by Hannah in the future, and is delightful.
I loved every minute of this story with the amazing banter, relatable characters, and laugh out loud funny scenes. It was a pleasure to watch the characters grow and change and I loved being able to root for them. The epilogue was so funny I read it three times.

The author is a master story-teller who weaved marvelous life lessons into the story. I highly recommend and encourage you to make your 2022 better and read The Bodyguard.

I was given a copy by the publisher and not required to write a positive review.
