My Review:

The Grump's Bodyguard is the third book in the Give a Bookish Girl a Biker series. The series has multiple authors, so the books are loosely connected and easy to read as stand-alone novels. But, if you are going to read them all, I recommend reading them in order.

My very first impression is that I do not love the age gap. She is 21 and he is 32. This is a struggle for me because my daughter is 23 and I can't imagine her dating someone who is 34. The life experience is vast. And, at the end of the reading, I still didn't like the age gap. It was unnecessary and to me, the story would have been better without it. It's never a sticking point for the characters or the side characters, and I guess for most people it isn't a big deal. So, take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Moving on, when I could forget their ages, it turned out to be a cute story. At the beginning Clover just came across more as mean than grumpy. Thor took it all in stride, and he was good for Clover. They both had trauma they had to heal from and Clover had good character growth.

★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):

It was love at first sight . . . or at least, love at first bloody nose.

Thor

If there’s one thing the Marines taught me, it’s that you don’t quit until you’ve completed your mission. Or you die trying. And by the way Clover Mason keeps shooting fire at me from those violet-colored eyes of hers, it just may be the latter. But like me or not, her Hollywood producer father hired me to protect her, and I will risk my life before letting any harm come to the grumpy recluse.

Clover

Sometimes I wish I were as brave as the heroines in the books I edit for clients. That doesn’t mean I’m ready for a six-foot, tattooed, red-head bodyguard who thinks he’s God’s gift to women shadowing my every move. But Daddy refuses to fire him, claiming that I’m not safe, and unless I want the entire neighborhood to see the large Viking lounging on his motorcycle outside my house 24/7, I’m going to have to let him in my home.

But when very real danger threatens to upheave my quiet life, I realize that Thor is the only one who can keep me safe.

The Grump’s Bodyguard, a closed-door reverse grumpy x sunshine novel, is book 3 in the Give a Bookish Girl a Biker multi-author series, a sweet romance collection of overlapping stories set in the picturesque mountains of Colorado. Alongside humor and faith, you’ll find sizzling chemistry between book-obsessed girls and their handsome bikers. Perfect for readers who prefer swoony, no-spice stories that sweep them off their feet.
