The Bodyguard by Katherine Center

Actors Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, who are married in real life, are having a Renaissance in Hollywood right now. When they walk the red carpet together at premieres, the paparazzi go insane with joy, as do their happy fans.  When she recently appeared in an episode of his hit Netflix television show “Nobody Wants This,” the internet could not get enough of the cute Rabbi sharing the small screen with his real-life bride. In the episode, she wore a chic baby blue skirt and top that would have made Blair Waldorf proud. I am down for anything Brody and Meester, as I was, and still am, a big fan of “The O.C.” as well as “Gossip Girl.” So, when I heard that Meester was going to star opposite Jared Padalecki in Center’s book “The Bodyguard” for Netflix, I ran to read it. In “The Bodyguard,” he plays Jack Stapleton, a famous movie star with a middle-aged stalker who breeds corgis. Meester plays Hannah Brooks, bodyguard who works for the executive protection firm hired to keep Stapleton safe. When his mother reveals a cancer diagnosis, Stapleton must go back to Texas to care for her, and as his bodyguard, Brooks must go, too. Katherine Center is known for writing feel-good rom coms and this book has all of those boxes checked perfectly. Stapleton and Brooks come together under unusual circumstance but soon find out that despite their different backgrounds they have more in common then they think.  To buy this book on Amazon click here.
