Her Honor's Bodyguardby Johnny RayThis is my first novel by Johnny Ray. He developed a good romantic crime mystery, bringing together past lovers and putting them in danger together. His erotic scenes worked without being too risque.It needed a few more surprises for me to qualify as a thriller, but I really enjoyed the read. The relationship of the two main characters came together well, and he tied up most of the loose ends. I would have liked to go on the upcoming trip with them and have a new mystery introduced and waiting to be written for these characters. I felt his female character was a little weak for a judge, but that could easily be fixed in a sequel. I'd like to see her rescue him next time.Johnny Ray definitely pulls you into the story and makes you think about the characters and their challenges. The surrounding characters were not highly developed, but the story unfolded like someone telling you a real life story at the dinner table. I like his style and will definitely read more of his work.As an indie author, I hope he'll make sure a good proofreader goes over the final draft before it goes to Kindle. Nothing needs to distract a reader from a good story.HER HONOR'S BODYGUARD, A ROMANTIC SUSPENSE
