Forget the stereotypes usually found in romance stories. Award-winning Author Carol J. Post breaks through with originality and taut suspense with Bodyguard for Christmas. This page-turner is big on romance, but even bigger in suspense. A District Attorney with a small child is being hunted by thugs and hires a bodyguard. From there the twists and turns take the reader on a thrill ride of action, investigation, and emotional chills from Atlanta to Murphy, North Carolina.
Don't start this book in the evening because you'll say, "Just one more chapter. I have to see what's going to happen next," all night long.

I have really enjoyed this series and hate to see it end. The good news is now I have a new series by the author to look forward to I hope. This book will definitely not disappoint her fans. It is stacked full of suspense and action that keeps the story interesting.

I absolutely adore Jasmine. Finally a bodyguard that is female and just as capable of protecting people as anyone else. She is fierce, determined and at times intimidating. I had to laugh when Colton finds out a woman is his bodyguard. He soon finds out Jasmine is good at her job when danger strikes full force. Liam is an adorable little boy who has just lost his mother and now must adjust to life without her.

It was interesting to read the interaction between Jasmine and Liam. Jasmine doesn't seem like the kind of person who likes kids. Will that change as she starts to be around him everyday? Who has Colton angered to endanger his and Liam's life? The story is filled with twists that had me guessing who was behind the attempts on Liam and Colton's lives. Jasmine has her hands full when it seems that there is not a moment to catch her breath, before more unexplained accidents happen. What would you do if someone was trying to kidnap your son?

Be prepared for non stop adrenaline rush suspense and a little romance in this book filled with danger, faith , grief and emotional moments that bring the characters closer.

I received a copy of this book from the author. The review is my own opinion. ( )

Title: Body Guard for Christmas
Author: Carol J. Post
Pages: 224
Year: December 2018
Publisher: Love Inspired
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
If you enjoy reading books that have threads of romance, faith and suspense, then here is another author whose many books you will enjoy. Carol’s latest, Bodyguard for Christmas, was exceptionally entertaining to read! At one point in the novel, I thought the action was over and wondered what else I was going to read in the pages left. However, Carol really pulled a fast one and the action climaxed from that point till the end!
In the novel, a young widower knows he has made many enemies during his practice as a prosecutor. What concerns him more is the fact that his little boy hasn’t spoken a word since losing his mother. Colton isn’t looking for a new relationship, but he does need a bodyguard when an attempt is made to kidnap his son! Colton’s new neighbor is Jasmine who is refurbishing her home and hopes to move in soon. But her job calls her back in for an emergency, and yes, it is to guard Colton’s son. Colton’s twin brother Cade is carefree and at times careless, who deals in antiquities.
There is much I haven’t revealed that brings depth and excitement to the story. As Carol has done in her other Love Inspired novels, she once again has written a compelling tale for readers to get lost in the pages! Carol’s other Love Inspired books are Midnight Shadows, Motive for Murder, Out for Justice, Shattered Haven, Hidden Identity, Mistletoe Justice, Buried Memories, Reunited by Danger, Fatal Recall, and Lethal Legacy. All of them are fantastic and fun to read, so I hope you get some books for gifts and request her books to read. Then, share your books with others or even talk about them in a book club.
