THE BODYGUARD AND THE SHOW DOG is a laugh a minute story in the best Janet Evanovich style. The situations that Natasha finds herself in are hilarious, her attempts to balance her career and her relationship are the makings of an Emmy winning sitcom. Ms. Tillery French's Bodyguard series is one that will have you laughing and cheering Natasha's bid for independence even as you feel complete sympathy for Jonce's quest to keep her safe from herself. A wonderful book for an afternoon read. --Brenda Edde, Romance Junkies The Bodyguard: by Christy T French Opening the cover of a new Christy French book is always an adventure. The dialogue is witty and spicy. The story moves along at a rapid pace, with the action usually unexecpted and at times hilarious. --Barbara Buhrer, Reviewer, Myshelf. Ms. French blends comedy, suspense, personal trauma and hot romance and presents a fine read. And cool characters. Watch out for the Pit and Bigun bodyguard team! Make the effort to find "The Bodyguard". --C. B. Shelly, Reviewer, CataRomance.

Genre: Mystery

In a small, dusty town in Indiana, on a hot afternoon, five people are gunned down by a sniper. Plenty of evidence is left behind, and it all points to one man: James Barr. When Barr is arrested, he asks for Jack Reacher. Reacher can't understand why Barr wants his help. While in the military, Reacher investigated Barr for virtually the same scenario. But as Reacher begins to look into the case, the evidence seems too well-placed. The more Reacher investigates, the more the case falls apart. When witnesses disappear and/or are murdered, Reacher becomes more determined than ever to find the reason behind the killings.

This is the first book I've read in the Jack Reacher series and I have to say I find Jack Reacher to be one tough dude. There's something appealing about this rugged guy who never stays in the same place for more than a few days and wears his clothes until they aren't fit for the climate or fit to be worn, then buys another set. Reacher is a smart investigator who's confident in his ability to take on the bad guys, and I find his slightly eccentric nature refreshing.
