The Bodyguard by Katherine Center
3.0
This was so fun to read! Bodyguard having to fake date her celebrity client to protect him as he stays on his parent's ranch? Fun! Going on long walks, riding horses, bonding with family, healing together. It's begging to be a movie.
Both characters also had to deal with some very difficult traumas though, so I would warn for past death of family members being described on page.
My main gripe with this would be how other women were described? Like Hannah's very not like other girls because she's plain and ordinary and not like Jack's exes that are famous or stereotypically feminine/beautiful or had work done. She used the word "Barbie". And that rubbed me the wrong way a bit. I understand Jack liking Hannah's personality because she was real with him and didn't treat him that different because of his fame, but I didn't think it needed to also be because she looked normal. Why couldn't he just also find her pretty because she's her, rather than like her because she ISN'T like your exes? I guess this stood out to me because we're in Hannah's head and she describes how good looking Jack is like every time she sees him. I wish we got the indication that Jack looked at her the same way.
