Andi Zeigler, assistant to the Prime Minister of Canada’s 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 PM’s 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. Nolan Crosby is just in town to take care of his mother, who has Alzheimer’s. 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? The premise for THE BODYGUARD AFFAIR caught my attention, and the Canadian in me couldn’t 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 that’s supposed to be her story arc, but there really should be a limit to how much a person is willing to take. Don’t even get me started on the so-called best friend. Taking out Andi’s self-esteem and people- pleasing issues, it’s a fun, warm, heartfelt read. I loved Andi and Nolan’s closet visits. THE BODYGUARD AFFAIR is a sweet, slow-burning, feel-good read that’ll 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.
