The Bodyguard
Author: Katherine Center
Rom Com

I love Katherine center so much!! All of her books are absolutely hilarious! Also, I had no idea the female mc was going to be the bodyguard! It was so good.

Cannot express how much I enjoyed this book!! Enjoyed all of the banter/ teasing between Hannah and Jack. This book kept me laughing. Also pulled on the heart strings some too. And I loved the characters so much!! Jack and Hannah are just so fun. Loved it. Highly recommend.

I loved the main male character Jack as well. I wo ...more

wow. he tardado 24 horas en leer este libro y he amado cada segundo.
no sé cómo explicarlo pero leerlo ha sido como ver una comedia romántica de los 2000… tan idealista, tan divertida, tan bonita… y el epílogo es TAN de peli… y también lo he amado.
me ha gustado muchísimo la pluma de la escritora y tengo clarísimo que volveré a leerla. te engancha con diálogos ágiles y entretenidos (entretenidos de verdad!! me he reído mucho!!) y con personajes a los que no te queda otra que amar (además, me ap ...more

I love how the epilogue answered any lingering questions I had after it ended. Nothing irks me more than loose ends. 👏🏻
I loved Jacks relatability and Hannah’s ability to be straight up. Cute classic rom com ✔️
