I am always delighted to welcome Kathryn Freeman's novels to the blog and here is her latest. This is the first day in the celebrations for Crikey a Bodyguard. There is a great Giveaway for you to participate in- details on how to enter are at the foot of this post.
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?
My Thoughts
In Crikey a Bodyguard, we have two contrasting characters: Kelly, the super-smart scientist and Ben, the man of action who find that despite their differences, there is a strong attraction between them. It is interesting to see their vulnerabilities as they are pushed to the limit. Kelly has a close knit family to consider which Ben has not. He is a loner and Kelly recognises in him some of the insecurities she has always felt despite her advantages.
I found this to be an eminently readable book and enjoyed the suspense of the storyline as well as the romance which was always simmering under the surface. Kathryn Freeman has a fluent writing style which is easy to read and I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Her characters are believable with several layers to unravel.
In short: romance and action - what a combination!
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.
