Guarding the Billionaire (Part 1) by Jenny Devall

Synopsis:

I’m not your typical woman, and I don’t have a typical job. I’m athletic, witty, intelligent, and I carry a gun; I’m a bodyguard.

I love receiving new assignments…usually. However, when I found out I’d be protecting the billionaire scientist, Charles Gaithers, I actually cringed. With his gorgeous gray eyes and sexy black hair, he may not remember me, but I remember him…and the time he called me “Fatty Costello” in high school.

The years have passed, and I’m no longer an overweight teen, yet one thing remains the same…what Charles Gaithers wants, Charles Gaithers gets. The crazy thing is that the thing he seems to want right now—is me! A night or two getting to know each other—in the physical sense—can’t hurt, can it?

My plan is simple. 1.) I’m going to protect Charles Gaithers from whoever is trying to kill him 2.) I’m going to protect my heart from breaking into a million pieces when this assignment is complete and our fun is over.

I only hope I can follow my plan.

My Review: 3 out of 5

This is the first book in a series of three.  It is a very quick read, only 110 pages and does end in a cliffhanger. So be prepared to not have any answers in this first book.

I did enjoy the storyline as a whole, there was a few parts that I found inconsistent with what I would have expected.    Heather was an overweight teenager tormented by the man she must now guard.  Charles doesn't have any memory of her and now only looks to get her into his bed as soon as possible.

What I didn't like was the fact that she hated him and what he did to her, yet in the next breathe she is all about how he is a good guy and can't wait to sleep with him.  The story seemed very rushed to get into the sex scenes and didn't really give any depth to the plot or even relate to the old resentment that the author tried to impart in the first chapter about Heather.  I felt that there could have been some more resistance or reluctance on her behalf. 

I like the idea of the all female bodyguards and the possibility of further spin off characters each with their own story but would prefer if each story was just its own book rather than splitting the stories up into parts such as this book.

All that being said I did still enjoy the book itself.

Would I read the next in the series or another story by this Author?

Yes, I enjoyed the book and would look to read the next instalment.

 

Would I recommend someone else to read this story?

Yes, the storyline has promise, but would make the reader aware you need to read all 3 for resolution.
