Another great story from Jenny Colgan. While listed as part of a series, it can be read as a standalone.

I added The Bodyguard Affair to my TBR last summer after reading the synopsis. It sounded like such a fun read. And it was a fun read, with a side of heart and reality.
While the book is over 400 pages long, it doesn’t feel like it’s drawn out. There’s nothing that feels like it needs editing. Sure, Andi has her moments where she comes across as a pick me girl, but don’t we all at one point or another in our lives? Just like, there are times when Nolan comes across as a loner who doesn’t need anyone. We all know the truth! But these personality traits are what make them feel human to me.
And their chemistry? It’s there from the beginning. And what a meet-cute they have in the first chapter! That was a scene for the ages. I couldn’t stop laughing.
My biggest ick with the book begins around the halfway mark, when they start exploring their feelings. I’m all for characters doing that, especially in a romance. But this is more than that, when Andi opens herself up, intimately, Nolan comments, “Good girl!” If this was said once or twice in the book, I think I would’ve been okay with it. It feels like he says it every time!
Overall, The Bodyguard Affair is a fun read that I think many people will connect with.
