review 1: Her Honor's BodyguardHave you ever read a book that kept your attention the entire time? It kept getting better and better? After reading it, you want there to be a sequel and a movie about it? Well, I went into reading Her Honor's Bodyguard with no expectation.I liked the other 2 books I had read by Johnny Ray and thought, "It will be hard to live up to those past 2 books." However, I have to say this book was better than the first 2 by this author. Why? The plot, characters, storyline, words seemed to have a perfect interplay that flowed throughout the entire story. There were no out of place sentences or words that didn't quite feel right. Instead there were symmetry between the it all. It made for a great read!The book was intense and could be seen as addictive ... moreas the tv shows, New York Undercover, CSI & The Wire. Also it was even better than the movies, Blow and Bodyguard. It was a story that had so many obstacles that kept presenting themselves for both Noella and Vance. The life of illusion and reality was easily molded together to represent an authentic plot and believable characters.Having a man who wasn't rich his whole life, who had to encounter real struggles that the average man goes through and even those criminals experience, made for an interesting storyline. Vance could be considered a man with very bad luck and a life that would have most drinking from a glass bottle every day. However, he is driven to do what he knows he can to clear his name, as well as that of his father.With the crimes he and his dad have committed, maybe everything can't be cleared but he hopes that he can make it in life. He may have went foggy and not remembered every detail, when he was accused of some bogus charges. He felt everything wasn't adding up. Something just didn't seem right.He knows he is dealing with some dirty people; he just doesn't know how he can get answers and prove his innocence. However what he doesn't expect is to have his services requested by a past love he left, his beautiful ex, Noella Peterson. He also doesn't dare believe what happens in minutes of them reconnecting. Life could actually get more twisted!There are some very worldly characters that don't play by the rules in this plot. There are some many events that kept you guessing but not quite sure what would happen for quite some time. These are some events that cause Noella and Vance to be thrown back into each others lives. Who is telling the truth about the past? Who will be proven innocent? And who guilty? Will Vance seek revenge for his life ending up in shambles, by an ex who ruined his and his mother's life?Life is definitely a mess and it may not get better? What to do in that case? Vance is broke and has been for many years. It seems that life isn't fair and has dealt Noella a prosperous hand. Will Vance assist or take advantage of his work being needed by her? Will he finally give her what was coming to her-payback? What roles do their families play in the demise that led to his dad's life ending? To him and his ex splitting? Justice is not prevailing and there are some life threats that lead to death. This is a story that all readers of all genres would like because once again, Johnny Ray has put together the perfect plot. The characters are even more addictive to read about. The cover and title give you a hint to what the book is about, but the plot has one waiting for a sequel. If you want a sequel, you want to read more. This is a book that made me feel fulfilled. One that I didn't want to end.
review 2: Judge Noella Peterson, her former lover Vance, the Police Department, street gangs, and an attempt on the judge's life are all mixed together for an interesting mystery.No one had any clue as to why Noella was being targeted and being shot at in her home and on the street. Of course she was a judge and had put people away, but she couldn't imagine what case would have caused someone to want her dead.Now that Vance was hired as her bodyguard, he and Noella were working together trying to sort out cases that might give them a clue about what was causing this sudden interest in having Noella eliminated, and he definitely was going to try to clear his name for good with the information Noella had. When she hired Vance for her bodyguard, she indicated she had some inside information about Vance's conviction seven years ago that had gotten him kicked off the police force and most likely framed. This information about being framed was definitely of interest to Vance, and he wanted to know more.I can't say the book was suspenseful, but it did keep your interest because of learning how things work in the background in the police force, in gangs, and in the courts. As Vance worked with the police force to help solve the case, he sensed that they really were not willing to let him in on the information they had, and they may even be trying to get his own case reopened and tried again. Along with all the investigation on this case, there was also another connection that was closer than Noella, Vance, and Noella's father knew.....or maybe someone did know the connection and wasn't giving out any details.It was a quick, enjoyable read with a surprise ending along with another major theme of the rekindling of the relationship between Noella and Vance, but who doesn't like a little romance? ENJOY!!! 4/5This book was given to me by the author in exchange for an honest review. less
