New Review! Chasing the Bodyguard by Grace Risata 4 Cranky Stars

Chasing The Bodyguard: An Irish Mob Action Adventure Road Trip Romance by Grace Risata
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Cranky Stars


Leandra Donahue is the leader of the Irish Mob Syndicate, and she is used to getting her way. That is until her bodyguard refuses to accept her advances.


While the premise of the story was good, I felt like they played up her being older than him angle too much. She came across as strong willed and determined to get her way. The chemistry was strong between the two characters.


After some conflict within her own organization, and an attempt on her life Leandra is forced to flee town with Samuel in tow. When a New York City mob queen meets small town life in Kansas, things get interesting. From dealing with judgmental people, and an overzealous pregnant ex-girlfriend, will Leandra and Samuel overcome the odds that are stacked against them.


I loved the characters, or at least a majority of them. There were a few secondary characters that had no redeeming qualities at all. The subplot about Samuel’s family seemed to drag out. I honestly wanted to slap his mama with the broom that she probably flies around town on. The witty banter was amazing.
