women's fiction, romance
Hannah is an Executive Protection Agent, The Bodyguard. She’s 5’ 5” and, despite her size, is the
best agent at her company. However, just when she’s got the perfect overseas
assignment in her sights, her mother dies, her boyfriend (a co-worker) breaks
up with her, and she gets assigned to protect a superstar, the man who has won
the Sexiest Man Alive twice, Jack Stapleton.
This assignment doesn’t interest Hannah at all but she has to accept the
lead position on this job or her perfect overseas assignment will go to the
ex-boyfriend.
Hannah is a bit socially awkward with some hidden issues.
She doesn’t seem to experience deep feelings. She doesn’t even seem
offended when people say offensive things about her. She’s managed to get
through life just dealing with whatever it throws her and trying to stay busy
so she doesn’t have to think about all the tough stuff. Therefore, it took me a while to warm up to
her. I also could not believe that she put up with so many personal and
professional insults. However, I admired her bad-ass protection skills and her
work ethic so I persevered.
Things progressed pretty much as I thought they would but it
was a cute tale illustrating the importance of believing in yourself and caring enough about yourself to seek support when needed. Situations presented themselves that warmed Hannah’s cold
heart and resulted in my own heart warming to the story too. Katherine Center wrote a fun romance (with minimal sex scenes, by the way).
The audiobook narrator, Patti Murin, did a nice job with the
voice acting, had a decent vocal repertoire, and she actually sang when the
character sang. I LOVE WHEN THAT HAPPENS
and it doesn’t happen enough. Bravo to Ms. Murin. I give her an A.
