5.0 out of 5 stars View from an advance reader: Gritty and Compelling, June 30, 1999
By A Customer
"Body Guard", Suzanne Brockmann's newest novel from Fawcett Gold Medal, again demonstrates her mastery of the romantic adventure. The tale brings together loose-cannon FBI agent Harry O'Dell, and Alessandra Lamont, an ex-mob trophy wife with a contract on her head. When the FBI's plan to use Alessandra as bait to catch a mob boss goes wrong, she is ready to take her chances and walk away from protective custody. But Harry convinces her to stick with him, and the two set off on a dangerous, cross-country game of hide and seek.

Brockmann weaves complex characterizations, tight plotting, compelling subplots, touches of wry humor, emotion and suspense into an intricate, gritty tale of love and danger. All in all, another winner from the pen of Suzanne Brockmann!

4.0 out of 5 stars My first book by Brockmann, but won't be the last, February 15, 2000
By Pat Nussman (Waltham, MA) - See all my reviews
Unlike a lot of the reviewers on the site, I really enjoyed BODYGUARD. I thought it started somewhat slowly, but once I got into it, I had a hard time putting the book down. I really like romances where both characters grow during the course of the action and this was certainly true here. Harry starts out unattractively driven, but the reader gradually finds out why, just as they find out why the heroine has had to depend so heavily on her looks. The secondary characters were fascinating, too, always a plus...I rather liked that the secondary plot wasn't tied up neatly. It made it seem more real, like life often turns out. After closing BODYGUARD, I immediately went to the bookstore to look for Brockmann's backlist...she has a nice style and a lot of story with her romance, a combination I enjoy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Unlikely duo in an okay story, January 3, 2008
By Tracy Vest (Northern California) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Bodyguard (Mass Market Paperback)
Burned out FBI agent Harry O'Dell has dedicated his life to bringing Trotta down, as he was responsible for the death of his ex-wife and eldest son, forcing him to put his other two children into hiding while he brings Trotta to justice. With little to live for, he takes on the dangerous assignments no one else wants. Alessandra Lamont finds herself a target of mobster Michael Trotta when her estranged husband is found murdered and the millions he stole from Trotta are gone, but Trotta makes it clear that she is responsible to find the cash and he won't harm her. After the FBI unsuccessfully uses Alessandra as bait and nearly gets her killed, Harry takes control and he and Alessandra are forced to go on the lam together to keep her safe. Her only assets are her looks and her sense of style, which Harry immediately makes her change. They are barely civil to each other, as they travel to Colorado to hook up with his kids. But circumstances have them in close quarters and soon giving in to passion. Will Harry ever be able to heal and forgive his role in his child's death? Will he ever realize that he has two more children?

This novel was a real departure from the usual SEAL fare that Brockmann is famous for. Her lead is not charismatic - he's actually a lot like Oscar Madison - and the chemistry between the two seems a little unlikely, but Brockmann manages to make it believable, as both characters are flawed and very human. A subplot featuring his more debonair partner George, who now reports to his ex-wife, will have readers pining for a happy outcome for the charismatic agent. Overall, it is just an okay story.
