I highly recommend
reading this book in a seat that you can buckle yourself into while having an
entire day on your hands. Once you pick up Her
Guardian Angel you can’t put it down. The anticipation of what will happen
next will keep the pages turning as fast as you can read them. Heaton does an
amazing job of telling a story that is filled with interwoven destinies,
curses, deception and a history that some will fight all to see that it is
never repeated again. This book is packed with awesomeness. Readers are giving
an incredible love story, heaps of action and fighting and a suspenseful story
that you are crazy if you don’t run out buy it and read it.
Marcus is a
guardian. His current assignment is to keep an eye out on the girl next door.
His superiors are very elusive in the details of his actual assignment. Marcus
does not question this too much in the beginning. He is extremely loyal to his
master. He is however ready for the assignment to be complete. In fact he is
looking forward to being able to ask for a new role all together. One of the
things that make Marcus so interestingly different is that he has been cursed.
He was confined to Heaven for five hundred years due to the fact that he could
not release his wings. During this time he became content to watch from afar. Heaven
is his happy place. He is quite happy to no have to mingle among the humans.
Amelia is thankful
when her neighbor comes to the rescue one night to remove one of her violent ex-lovers.
She has a whole sting of crappy ex-lovers. Amelia has always had bad luck with
men. The new neighbor is very handsome, kind and definitely chivalrous. She can’t
help but wonder if perhaps Mr. Right moved in next door. I enjoyed Amelia’s
pursuit of the reluctant Marcus. Marcus is not used to being around humans and
he comes off as very distant with Amelia in the beginning. Marcus’s lack of
human interaction and his development of feelings for Amelia make for one sweet
romance. His character really had to come to terms with what exactly was going
on with his feelings, feeling that are caused by Amelia.
Marcus is Amelia’s
guardian angel. He is supposed to protect Amelia. Due to the non-answers his
superiors continually give him he has no clue what he is protecting her from. After
Amelia is attacked by a Hell’s Angel and his cursed wings fail to get them to safety
he decides to go see another angel for some assistance in obtaining knowledge about
these demons. Little does Marcus know but this is all some elaborate game where
higher officials are moving their pawns to where they see it being most beneficial
to them and damn whoever gets in the way. Nothing is as it seems with this
book. The suspense of how can Marcus and Amelia possibly have a happy ever
after with the odds they face is heartbreaking. Keep the tissues handy. This is
one touching emotional roller coaster.
Her Guardian Angel can be read as a stand-alone.
I don’t recommend it though. The couples from the first three books in the
series have LARGE roles in this one. Events that occurred in the first three
books are omitted and not relevant. The first three books in the series are
very good and the stories as to how the couples got to where there are in Guardian make them worth the read. But,
if you are just dying to read this book and not the others it is completely
possible and you won’t be confused at all.
I’m hoping that
Heaton continues this series. I’m not going to give any spoilers, but the
ending was huge. The potential for major changes in this world are evident. I
am very eager to see where these changes could go. This is certainly a series
that I will continue reading. I love where it started. I love the characters
that I have been introduced to. I love the HEA that Amelia and Marcus got. I
can’t wait to get my hands on another one of these sexy angels books.
