| Natasha Chamberlain would rather be called a protection specialist than a bodyguard. Her would-be fiance Striker would rather she do something else and makes it clear that she has to choose. No one tells Natty what to do and when attorney Tommy James, who looks like a young Danny DeVito, walks into her office looking for protection, she gladly accepts the job and the distraction. Unfortunately, Tommy is in bigger trouble than he lets on and the Mafia is after him. Natty's life is in danger also, but she sticks with the job with the help of her friends.
Ms. French's Bodyguard series is full of suspense, danger, and laughter and this one is no exception. The characters are unique to the point of being bizarre, the dialogue is funny and witty, and the plot had me hooked from the first page. Her description of the Danny DeVito look alike walking into her office both intrigued and amused me. I love Natty's fiesty personality and her determination to be herself despite and overprotective though sexy fiance. Jonce Striker is a compelling character despite his wish to compel Natty to find a safer career. The fact is Natty is actually getting better at her job. Her determination, feisty attitude and sheer will to succeed have made a big difference. The supporting cast of characters and their colorful dialogue will have you laughing out loud and the suspenseful plot will have you turning page after page and waiting for the next installment of the series; I know I can't wait.
