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

I’ve read quite a few books by Kathryn Freeman now and what I love most about them is that although they are romances and the endings are inevitable the journey to get there is always interesting. With unique settings, realistic characters and engaging storylines Kathryn freeman’s books are a joy to read. 

In Crikey, A Bodyguard, Ben Jacobs has been hired by the parents of Kelly Bridges to protect her. Kelly is a scientist on the verge of discovering a vaccine against smallpox, a disease which if released back into the world could have devastating consequences. She’s noticed she’s being followed so her parents aren’t taking any chances with the safety of their only daughter and Ben is employed to protect her. Kelly’s not happy with this arrangement at first but after a trip to Italy she realises Ben is easy to talk to, fun to be around and not to mention drop dead gorgeous. When Kelly’s safety comes into question the two of them find themselves thrown together as they try to stay undercover from the guys who want Kelly’s knowledge. The inevitable happens and they both develop feelings for one another but will the follow their hearts or stay away like their heads are telling them too.

I loved Ben and Kelly instantly. Ben with his handsome good looks, strength and confidence and Kelly also gorgeous but aware of it, deeply studious and intelligent and shy in social situations seem very different characters but one thing they share is their love of their work and its this strong work ethic which slowly shows them their not that different after all.

I loved everything about this book, the chemistry between Ben and Kelly most of all but I also loved the unexpected twists in the storyline which kept me wondering who was behind the bad guys. I also loved the ending as I didn’t find it too cliched for a romance, it was more like what would happen in the real world. If you haven’t read any Kathryn Freeman yet, then give this a go its one of her best and if you have then you’ll know what a treat you have in store.

Thank you so much to the publishers for sending me a copy to review and to Rachel’s random Resource’s for inviting me to be part of the blog tour.

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.
