Up Close and Personal by Kathryn FreemanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Three and a half stars.
Kat is a former soldier turned bodyguard, living with her sister and niece. Zac is the latest action movie star with a plum in his mouth and he has received some threatening 'fan' letters which the studio is taking seriously enough to hire Kat's firm for protection. But Zac fears he knows exactly who is sending the threatening letters, and it isn't an over-enthusiastic fan. Zac thinks his carefully hidden past is coming back to haunt him.
This is a sort of a reverse roles version of The Bodyguard. Zac is all smooth, suave and sophisticated, like James Bond, with exquisite manners and and elegant wardrobe. Kat is a jeans and boots kind of gal, talk about opposites attract.
I liked this, but my favourite Kathryn Freeman book is still The New Guy, this one just seemed to flag a bit in the middle. I thought Zac's secret was half-explained too early and then left too long. Also, why does the female bodyguard always succumb to her passion, despite swearing that she won't let it affect her job? Drives me insane!
Overall, an enjoyable romance with likable characters and plenty of backstory for both main protagonists.
