Crikey A Bodyguard - Kathryn Freeman

Blurb

She’s got the brains, he’s got the muscle …
When Kelly Bridge’s parents insist on employing a bodyguard for her protection, she’s not happy. Okay, so maybe not every woman is on the cusp of developing a vaccine against a potential biological terrorist attack – but crikey, it’s not like she’s a celebrity!

Ben Jacobs flunked spectacularly out of school, so he knows his new client Dr Kelly Bridge spells trouble for him. But on a conference trip to Rome he finds things are worse than he thought. Not only is he falling for the brilliant scientist, he’s also become horribly aware she’s in grave danger. As they go on the run, dodging bullets and kidnappers, can he resist his feelings and keep her safe.

Review

Kelly is on the cusp of developing a vaccine against a potential biological terrorist attack and after it looks she is in danger, her family insist she has bodyguard for her own safety. She reluctantly agrees but only to stop them worrying, after all she's only a scientist it's not like is royalty or a celebrity... what is the worst that could happen? 

This unique plot is the perfect blend of romance, humour, action and suspense (with a sprinkle of raunchiness). Freeman certainly kept me entertained throughout with all the twists and turns thrown at the unlucky duo. Her characters are instantly lovable, Kelly is independent, talented and intelligent and Ben is a real life, totally gorgeous action man and before you know it you'll be rooting for them to overcome their own stubbornness, let go of their own hang-ups and give each other a real chance. A heart-warming and funny tale.... can Kelly and Ben find romance among the danger and the bullet or are the pair completely doomed? 

Thanks to Rachel's Random Resources for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.

About the author

A former pharmacist, I’m now a medical writer who also writes romance. Some days a racing heart is a medical condition, others it’s the reaction to a hunky hero.

With two teenage boys and a husband who asks every Valentine’s Day whether he has to buy a card (yes, he does), any romance is all in my head. Then again, his unstinting support of my career change proves love isn't always about hearts and flowers - and heroes come in many disguises.
