Review

"A wonderful cast of colorful characters, Striker is a perfectly yummy hero...rollicking good fun." -- Myshelf.com

French excels at creating very human characters, intense action, provocative story lines, and sizzling romance. -- Laurel Johnson, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review, June, 2006

I laughed till I cried and still chuckle when I muse back over this riotously entertaining book. -- Donna Zapf, Single Titles.com, May, 2006

Ms. French creates a wonderful cast of characters ... Frankly, The Bodyguard and the Show Dog is rollicking good fun. -- Myshelf.Com, Tara Manderino, Reviewer, June, 2006

Product Description

This romantic comedy finds protection specialist Natasha Chamberlain self-employed and happily involved with her former boss, Jonce Striker. Natasha's first case centers around Chumley, a champion show dog. The squat Pug has been sent a death threat regarding his participation in an upcoming event.

Although Natasha initially things there isn't much danger protecting a canine, she soon finds that isn't the case when she ends up in the emergency room several times. Meanwhile, she drives Striker crazy with her zany, unorthodox attempts to unmask the extortionist.

Will Natasha find the culprit before it's too late? Will Striker find a way into Natasha's heart? This romantic comedy will have you turning the pages to find the answers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Omigosh (to quote Natasha), July 7, 2006
This book is so funny. I ordered it when I saw one review site had compared the style to that of Janet Evanovich and let me tell you I was not disappointed. I love the female bodyguard concept and the wacky situations Natasha gets herself into. The chapter where she's being chased by an animal abuser with a rifle in his hand is hilarious. Her relationship with sexy Striker is hot and the conflict she has over her choice of career and dealing with Striker's displeasure over this is well-written. Pit and Bigun are zany and I want to see more of them.

I've ordered #1 in the series and can't wait for #3. Natasha is young, independent, wacky, and thinks of herself as protector of the innocent. The dialogue is great, the adventures Natasha has are humorous, and overall, this book is a winner.

5.0 out of 5 stars There's a new and improved heroine in town!, September 28, 2006
By Caitlyn Hunter "Author" (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews
I've been a fan of this author since her first book came out and am always delighted to see a new one hit the shelves. Her latest, The Bodyguard and the Show Dog is, without a doubt, her best to date. Be warned: keep a box of tissues close at hand to mop up the tears from laughing so hard! Chumley is a hoot, Striker is dashing and sexy (as usual), and I like Natasha so much I want to be exactly like her in my next life.

I've read quite a few reviews that liken this series to Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books, and all I can say is, "Move over, Stephanie, there's a new and improved heroine in town, and her name is Natasha!" So, to all the Stephanie Plum fans out there, read the Bodyguard series and fall in love with a new bunch of quirky, rip-roaringly funny characters.

I'm eagerly awaiting the next book in this wonderful series. Please don't keep us in suspense for long, Ms. French.

5.0 out of 5 stars Feisty and charming, June 14, 2006
The Bodyguard and the Show Dog is a like a fresh drink from the perpetual fountain of love, sex and wit.

Natasha Chamberlain is a feisty bucking bronco of a bodyguard. While she is contemplating her love life, charming Myrtle Garbreath walks in to her office seeking her services. She hires Natasha to guard her nasty little spitball of a champion show dog, Chumley the Pug.

The valuable pooch is kidnapped and Natasha begins a case that seems to be veiled in jinx at every corner which makes this book wickedly fun. Her penchant for living life at full throttle with an unfastened seatbelt lands her in a boatload of trials and tribulations. Her eagerness to straighten out one of the "one-percenter" bikers is a testament to her system of moral justice. The escapades keep the pages blistering and turning rapidly.

It is easy to see why Christy French is a fast rising talent. She writes in a smart and sexy style with devotion to fully fleshing her characters. Her story line builds steadily into a complete picture keeping the reader fully invested to the last sentence.
