TikTok: Travel

 I had the good fortune to take a vacation to see my BFFs and also visit a Christmas town I've been wanting to see. We spent a few days in Leavenworth and it was amazing.

Review: The Bodyguard

 

Hannah doesn't look like a bodyguard - but she has skills. Right now, she's spinning her wheels waiting for an assignment. She loves leaving town and going on assignment. But her latest assignment leaves a lot to be desired.

She's stuck pretending to fake date a Hollywood star who has come home for the first time in years. Jack Stapleton's mother is ill. He's not about to let his mom worry about his stalker. The movie studio hires a bodyguard (whom he mistakes for the cleaning lady until she flips him over without breaking a sweat.) 

Before long Hannah's moving to the family ranch. She's never had a close family and Jack's mom makes her feel important. 

Tensions are thick between Jack and his brother, but time on the ranch before idyllic. But is Hannah feeling a little too much for Jack? 

My Thoughts: I loved this book. This is my first Katherine Center book but no way is it my last. So much here that I loved: the banter between Hannah and Jack, Jack's family, and Hannah's co-workers. I enjoyed the fake dating plot - hiding from the press - and the fan moments. Lots of drama, action, and great moments. I didn't want this book to end. 

Cover Thoughts: Cute

This is my new favorite picture book and I chat about it on TikTok. Of course, there were things I forgot to mention...

This one is great for older readers - 1st and 2nd graders. They will appreciate the humor.  

Library Recommendation: A must have book for your school and public library collection!
