The Bodyguard by Katherine Center
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Lately I have found myself craving rom coms, both in print and on the screen. Unfortunately not all rom coms are created equal so when a friend suggested I read Katherine Center’s “The Romcomers” I was cautiously excited. I read it and absolutely loved it. As soon as I finished it, I bought this one and I wasn’t disappointed.
The story is bubbly without being cheesy, the writing is excellent but not stuffy, the characters are fantastic (I really want to be their friend) and very well developed. The handling of serious issues was perfectly balanced with humor. In summary: I LOVED IT!
My only and super tiny bone to pick with the author is that I felt the epilogue went on for far too long. I was more than satisfied with the ending and I didn’t feel the epilogue added much to the story. It’s just my personal opinion and I am certain others will totally disagree.
But I did love the author’s note at the end. Being an author myself, I so identified with the feeling of joy and freedom that writing a good story can bring, and how attached we can get to our fictional characters. Thank you for writing this, Ms. Center.
If you like rom coms, don’t miss this one.
