If you enjoy Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series, you’ll love Christy Tillery French’s newest installment of her Bodyguard series.

The second installment in The Bodyguard series 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 thinks there isn’t much danger connected with 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.

As the suspect list grows, Natasha finds it increasingly difficult to balance her new business with her increasing love for Striker. Likewise, Striker sees the investigation growing wackier and more dangerous by the day. His time is spent between trying to convince her that the bodyguard business is too dangerous and deciding how he can persuade her to marry him.

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.

"Christy Tillery French excels at creating very human characters, intense action, provocative storylines, and sizzling romance."
-- Midwest Book Review

"You will laugh and cheer at Natasha's bid for independence and have complete sympathy for Jonce's quest to keep her safe from herself. A wonderful book for an afternoon read."
-Romance Junkies

Ms. French creates a wonderful cast of colorful characters in this, the second book of her Bodyguard Series, and Striker is a perfectly yummy hero. Some of the situations Natasha involves herself and others in positively encourage laughing out loud. Frankly, The Bodyguard and the Show Dog is rollicking good fun.
