This was an awesome read. I'm glad it ended in happiness. And I knew who done it 4 awhile.

The story was good, but I will say it took me awhile to actually finish this book, idk why I felt like the author was dragging the story so that the bodyguard can find who was the stalker trying to kill her (Dominique).

Mystery, Romance & Drama
Book Description: "Successful image consultant Dominique Brandon is shocked when she becomes the target of a malicious stalker. After all, the Brandon name stands for accomplishment and security. Harris Knight is confident that he can stop the stalker. By instinct and by training, his nature is to protect and defend. He never lets emotion get in the way. Can this society Princess trust her own Black Knight with her heart? Or will he let her through his defenses only to find that he's still the outsider once she's safe?"~~~~~~~This is the first novel I've read by Andrea Jackson. I enjoyed the mystery and intrigue throughout the novel, but I found the story to be a little longer than necessary and bogged down with some unnecessary details. This mystery/romance which centers on the budding relationship between Harris Knight and Dominique Brandon, who separately were total opposites, but when they came together as a couple, some how despite their differences they complimented and completed one another totally. Ms. Jackson has spun a tale of mystery, romance, love, jealousy, deceit, false impressions, dysfunctional family ties, and a lot of drama. The main characters are definitely memorable and some of the supporting cast aided in holding your interest in the many twist and turns throughout this novel. However, I feel if the story wasn't filled with so many unimportant details, it would've had a more effortless flow and made for a better read. That said, it was still a decent novel.

Few Spoilers...
This The Bodyguard was really good, but I thought Dominique was a little stubborn and hard headed at what Harris was trying to tell her. Like him, I knew it had to be someone in her family. And the HATE her sister Charmaine had for her I figured it would be her the one who was doing all those harmful stalkerish things to Dominique. Not only her the dude Lloyd, he and Charmaine were showing Neeka they dislike her and Harris knew it too, But Neeka didn't want to listen. And idk why Neeka wanted to prove herself to her family so bad because if my family dislike me or don't want to help me, I'd be petty as hell, and be rude just like them. SMH for them to think they're better than someone and didn't approve of Harris. Becuase he didn't wear a suit and Dom didn't like the way he was dressed and looked at first but had a change of heart afterward. I also was happy that Harris and Doc build a relationship.
