Guardian Angel

This is the last book in a series but you don't need to have read the other books to enjoy this one. The plot is fast paced and the characters well created and unlike some other historical romances the heroine is just waiting to be saved by the hero. Also the writing is sharp, this is a great read which made we smile and laugh.

Another story by a great historical romance writer. It didn't disappoint. Definitely one of my favourites within the series. Highly recommended.

I found this novel initially thrilling, different and engaging. I thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn't put it down. Caine and Jades relationship was on fire and I just loved Caine. The storyline was interesting and not too predictable. I honestly thought it was brilliant. My only disappointment is that it struggled slightly to keep up with the brilliance of the first half of the book, the middle and end were "ok" meaning when I had to go to work and come back to the story I couldn't be bothered that much. I pushed myself through it and it wasn't bad just not as good as the start. Hmmm... I'll definitely be reading more from Julie as her character interaction is fantastic.

I received the book well wrapped and in good condition. The book was as advertised and I was happy with it.

Good read.

Lovely book, I love Julie Garwood work.

Good condition

WIFE LIKES IT

This is my favorite Julie Garwood book to this day. ********CAUTION POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD> PLEASE STOP NOW IF YOU DON"T WANT READ ANY SPOILERS>THANKS********** Highly recommend this book. This hero is very dominant, sexual, possessive and alpha. Personally I feel he has been the most sexually aggressive heroes from all her books. The love scenes were scorching and he was very aggressive in his claiming. The heroine is supposed to be this hard core, independent female. However, throughout the book you realize she was hiding her fears and insecurities. She had to grow up fast and has been burdened to care for needs of others over her own. She suffered in silence and only with hero's love did she begin to unburden herself. Since she lost her parents she found herself doing her best to keep her remaining loved ones safe and please them, but realized that with hero she could trust him to keep her safe and didn’t have to please him except just being herself. He had to show her that he would be there for her and would never abandoned her. He recognized her fears without her having to put them into words, and you realize towards end that the plans put into action to resolve the conflict actually include him incorporating solutions to her personal problems. Pretty genius of him. It was not a light read, but well worth it and entertaining. The time line of this book from beginning to end is fast. It appears to have occurred in span of 2-4 weeks. It is very well written and you have many actions scenes. Their love was not instant but it was pretty quick from when they meet until they get together as couple, because hero was smart enough to recognize he had fallen in love with heroine and not fight it. He was good about accepting her how she was and he was very forgiving of all the trickery she did. I have read other books were such trickery is dragged out or handled pretty badly. No worry of that in this book. The whole reason they even meet was due to some government cover ups that were uncovered when heroine had to save her brother and his bff from danger. She is attacked by those seeking information that was in the possession of the heroine and she goes to the hero to try and protect him from inadvertently putting himself in danger from these same villains. On his part, hero is misinformed and just trying to seek revenge. Things come to light after about 2 weeks of hero and heroine being together, but man a lot of things happened in those two weeks. The scene when brother comes back into his family’s life was very emotional and well written. The truth is revealed at this reconciliation period. Again, hero didn't drag out the drama on the trickery that was revealed drive heroine away. He was upset yes but firm about the fact that he considered heroine's his. At this point of the story heroine became desperate and does make attempts to leave hero. I however understood the fears that were driving her and understand that when you are in fear you don't make rational decisions. The best thing was this hero was not going to let heroine get away from him, so I really enjoyed the scenes where the hero just brings her back. The plan is finalized and put into action to force corrupt government officials out. Inbtw all this hero manages to win the heroine over and make his final claim. I loved the ending. I loved the characters. I loved the secondary characters. I loved the story. You also get to see how Lyon and his wife are doing from the previous book, and you are introduced to the heroes in the coming books in the series. I can't emphasized how much this book was a great read.

Just like all her books a fabulous story!

Julie Garwood is one of my favorite authors. I have read all her books and more than once. Love them all.

This is one of this author's best works, both funny and fascinating. Sweet faced Jade visits a tavern of ruffians to hire a contract killer. She begs the head ruffian (the undercover Marquess of Cainewood) to kill her before her assassins subject her to a gruesome death. He leaps to her defence but nothing is as it appears in this beautifully plotted tale. I won't give any more away as unravelling the plot is the most enjoyable thing about this story, followed closely by buckets of laughs and a tender romance.

Out of all books by Julie Garwood, this one is one of my favourites. It's so romantic, so cleverly written. Once the good part starts, you don't want to stop. It's not about solving the mysteries in the book and getting to know the ending (you can just read the plot for that). It's about the enjoyment you get from reading it, even if you know or guessed the ending. You're going to fall in love with the protagonists. I can promise you that.
