Someone was stalking million-dollar cover girl Allie Fortune--and ex-mercenary Rafe Stone had been hired to protect her. To keep her safe, he spirited Allie away to a secluded spot, telling himself to just do his job and not be seduced by her beauty. But Rafe soon discovered that guarding Allie was far more dangerous than he'd anticipated. Because it wasn't solely his existence that was threatened. No, this tempting creature threatened his heart and soul...and once this assignment was over, he knew his life would never be the same.

"Beauty and the Bodyguard" is the story of Allison and Rafe.
Allison is a famous supermodel and face of Fortune Cosmetics, something she does to support her family after her grandmother's untimely death. When a stalker starts sending her lewd mails, her father hires the famous bodyguard Rafe to protect her.
As they set off overseas on a modeling assignment, attraction bubbles, suspicion strikes and lovemaking ensues between the two as they work against time to unveil the culprit.
Very well written book with likable characters, super hot sex scenes and a good thriller element. It reminded me of the movie "The Bodyguard", but in a good way with a HEA.
Enjoyed it!

No llevaba muy altas expectativas con un argumento tan trillado pero ha resultado una lectura ágil y entretenida.
Mi puntuación: 7,5 -
This had a lot of sweet moments, some neat behind-the-scenes stuff, and a decent amount of sexual tension.
But the heroine was a doormat. Yes, she had a lovely kind and romantic side, which i enjoyed, but she also just took shit from nearly everyone around her, including the dude she fell in love with. It was frustrating. -
First published in 1996, this is a very, very good romance, conventional but so well-written, with subtleties and nuances, characters that act like human beings and not like stereotypes.
It was a pleasure reading it, knowing that although it went straight to its happy ending, one could encounter people made of flesh and soul in it: the taciturn, honorable and scarred hero with the flashy tie, the beautiful (inside and outside) heroine.
Delightful!... -
This is a better-than-average category romance. The characters have dimension, and they quickly garner the reader's sympathy. The plot is a bit heavy on the romance vs. the suspense; I'd prefer more action on the suspense plot interwoven into the romance. The story satisfies on the romance angle but, while the immediate villain is caught, the overall suspense continues into the next book in the Fortune family series.

Das ganze Buch habe ich gekämpft, weil ich befürchtet hatte, dass es NICHT gelingen wird, mir zu erklären, dass Rafe Allie wegen ihrer inneren Werte liebt und nicht wegen ihres Aussehens. Denn damit hat es eindeutig begonnen. Aber - oh, wunder! - als ich mit dem Buch fertig war, war ich wirklich überzeugt - 4.5 Punkte!!

it started slow but when it started rolling it got interesting and grabbed my attention and I enjoyed the ending

So I have a thing for bodyguard stories. Sue me.

A good book. A little tame in the sex department, but a nice read anyway.
