Guardian Angel

Although Garwood’s characters have a tendency to be interchangeable, she writes with wit and humor. Not quite as good as Lion’s Lady, but still entertaining.

Julie Garwood always delivers. She has one of the most steady reputations for wonderful historical romance. You will not lose with her.

It had a wonderful plot, but I would have continued reading even if it didn't. The banter and confusion between Jade and Caine kept me laughing long after I put this book down. This is why I read books; to be left with a smile and a warm feeling when the last page is turned. Thank you Ms. Garwood for an outstanding book. The only two books I've reread more than this one is Perfect by Judith McNaught and, as it was one of my first regency romances, it's hard to beat and the Duke and I by Julia Quinn. Give this book a chance and I promise you won't regret it. :-)

First think I want to say is that I CANNOT believe people are giving this books something other than a 4 or 5! I don't think they were reading the same book as me, especially the one who thinks that she is named Sara!? How do you get Sara out of Jade??? Well anyhoo...I could not put this book down. The beginning is hilarious...I was laughing so hard I had to wipe the tears that were blurring the words on the page from my eyes!(I had that problem a lot during this book!) Right from the start Julie Garwood spins a magnificent tale around Jade and Cain. The dialoge is funny and witty, the plot is VERY well thought out, I, who usually guesses who the bad "guy" is well before the mystery gets unraveled, was amazed with who it was, I mean I would have not guessed in a thousand years it was.....well, i'll let you find out for yourself. Even though this book was great from the first page until the last, The best scene is where Cain is with Jade's uncle and her men and they all are telling Cain what their nicknames are for her, I just wish I were really in the book to see the look on his face. Oh well, All in all, you are crazy if you don't buy this book, and even crazier if you don't like it!!! In my opinion, and lots others, this is WELL beyond a 5 star book!

When I first read this book, I could not put it down. I've read it three more times since then. I would give it ten stars if I could. The action is fast paced. It's hilarious. I loved Jade and Caine. This book has everything. Good characters. Interesting plot. Steamy love scenes. Never a boring moment. And it was refreshing to see a heroine who could rescue herself. This book is only surpassed by it's sequel--The Gift.

Ms. Garwood surely knows how to write, and it's cleary proven in her novel, Guardian Angel. Jade, our fabulous heroine, is on a mission to protect Caine, our gorgeous hero. But in order for Jade to keep Caine safe, she generates lies in order to cover up her true identity. what her true identity is, I cannot say, for that would ruin the story. However, the romance between Jade and Caine I can write about. The love between Jade and Caine is extremely emotional. Love for Caine comes pretty easily to him, but for Jade it was a lot more difficult for her to express her emotions. Jade grew up with an extremely harsh childhood, only with her brother and her uncle taking care of her. But her brother and uncle would always abandon her, or more like leave her at home so she could be kept safe, while they were off on important sea business. Jade learns quickly about keeping up appearances, in other words, masking her true feelings. But as soon as she meets Caine, she realizes that Caine is able to make her be her real self, and feel love and feel cherished.The book is filled with cute and funny scenes. Little endearments that Caine uses on Jade, and especially the ending, is wonderful! Read the book, you'll love it. P.S. This is the second novel part of a 4-part series. The Lion's Lady, GUARDIAN ANGEL, the Gift, and Castles.
