Andi Zeigler, assistant to the Prime Minister of
Canadaβs wife by day, author writing under a pen name
by night, never thought her steamy, self-published romance
novel involving the Prime Minister would ever become a best
seller, let alone be the other woman in the rumours that the
PM is having an affair. When things get out of control, Andi
comes up with the idea to fake date the PMβs new
bodyguard, who also happens to be her failed one-night stand
from three years ago, and the only one who knows she wrote
the book. Β Nolan Crosby is just in town to
take care of his mother, who has Alzheimerβs. He has
no plans to stick around, but when Andi ropes him into fake-
dating her for the summer, things start to get a little
complicated. The lines between reality and fantasy quickly
blur, but Nolan had never planned to stay. Will love be
enough to keep Nolan from moving on? Β The
premise for THE BODYGUARD AFFAIR caught my attention, and
the Canadian in me couldnβt pass up the chance to
review it. The book starts off great with an embarrassingly
funny meet-cute between our couple. It went a little
downhill for me after that because Andi annoyed me with her
inability to ever stand up for herself at all. I know
thatβs supposed to be her story arc, but there really
should be a limit to how much a person is willing to take.
Donβt even get me started on the so-called best
friend. Taking out Andiβs self-esteem and people-
pleasing issues, itβs a fun, warm, heartfelt read. I
loved Andi and Nolanβs closet visits. THE BODYGUARD
AFFAIR is a sweet, slow-burning, feel-good read
thatβll leave you with a smile.
A secret romance writer discovers that the hottest story of summer might just be the one happening between her and the Prime Minister’s bodyguard, from the international bestselling author of Set On You.
Andi Zeigler lives a double life. By day, she’s the no-nonsense, steadfast personal assistant to the Prime Minister of Canada’s wife. By night, she slips out of her heels and writes romance novels under a top-secret pen name. But when her steamiest book, The Prime Minister & Me, unexpectedly becomes a bestseller, rumors of a real-life affair between her and the PM start swirling out of control.
Enter Nolan Crosby, the PM’s new close protection officer (aka bodyguard) – and Andi’s failed one-night stand from three years ago. Nolan’s in town very temporarily to care for his mother, who’s battling early-onset Alzheimer’s. But when the scandal erupts, Andi ropes him into a fake-dating plan.
As loyal employees, they’ll pretend to date for the summer, just long enough to put the scandal to bed and save their boss’s reputation. In an unexpected plot twist, Andi and Nolan discover that keeping their romance strictly fictional might be easier said than done.
