Clover's parents are famous movie-makers, and she moved to Colorado to get away from their glitzy, hectic Hollywood life. She's a book editor, she battles anxiety, and she just wants to be left alone. But when someone from her parents' life has a mental break and comes after Clover, the quiet and safe life she's built for herself is shattered. She agrees to let her parents hire a bodyguarding service to protect her until the danger is past.
Enter Thor, ex-military bodyguard built like a movie star and scarred inside and out from his past. Obviously, Thor and Clover are going to fall in love. I think the thing I liked best about the whole book was how staunchly they refused to act on their growing feelings while Thor is her bodyguard, since a romantic relationship would be completely inappropriate at that time.
This is a clean and sweet Christian romance. You can't even call it "closed door" because Clover and Thor don't seek a sexual relationship with each other, but instead choose to date chastely while considering marriage. There's a lot of yearning and desire expressed on-page, but never in a steamy way that could lead a reader astray.
If This was a Movie, I Would Rate It: PG-13 for danger, lots of noticing physical attractiveness, and one night accidentally spent together (in which it is very clear that the couple never even made out, much less made love). Probably fine for older teens.
