The Bodyguard Affair by Amy Lea (Dec 2, 2025) Thank you, @berkleyromance and @prhaudio for the #gifted copies! #berkleyromance #berkley #prhaudioinfluencer
Noah Crosby just got an appointment as the Canadian Prime Minister’s Chief Protection Officer but the main reason for his return to his hometown after years away is to care for his mother after her Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Andi Zeigler has a high pressure job as the personal assistant to the Canadian PM’s wife and whatever free time she has is devoted to her indie-published romance series that she writes under a pen name. Oh, and three years ago they met as strangers at a bar and had a failed hookup neither has stopped thinking about. Then a wild and untrue rumor of an affair between Andi and the PM causes them to hatch a fake dating scheme – Andi and Noah will pretend to date for the summer to make sure the rumors die down. But the same electric connection that drew them together years ago persists and fake dating becomes a real friendship and an undeniable attraction.
Well, this was adorable. You’ve got opposites attract, a fake relationship where they are both down so bad, they each help the other grow and believe in themselves, a one-bed situation, and there is an adorable rescue dog. Plus it is a self-aware romance through Andi’s romance author lens. The storyline with Noah’s mom adds weight and emotional complexity to the story while you have a ton of fun along the way.
🎧 Audiobook Thoughts: The dynamic duo of Brittany Pressley and Teddy Hamilton are just as great as you think they will be bringing this adorable slow-burn romance to life! (10 hrs and 51 mins)
