Her Guardian Angel: A Demonica Underworld/Masters and Mercenaries Novella

4 Star Review of Her Guardian Angel This is part of the current Lexi Blake Crossover Collection and written by an Larissa Ione who is a new author to me. I am extremely familiar with Lexi Blake and happily admit that the Master & Mercenaries series is one of my all time favourite series. With that being stated, I was anxious to see how these books would meld into the M & M world. Declan Burke is a professional bodyguard for McKay-Taggart. He takes his work and play seriously and will not mix business with pleasure. That is until he meets Suzanne D’Angelo (an earthbound angel) who apparently needs protection from a stalker. In reality it is Suzanne who is trying to protect Declan from a demon. The attraction Declan feels for Suzanne is electric and she tempts him to break his own rules.The awareness and chemistry is mutual and they both fight hard to ignore the pull, but eventually give in. Will danger pull these two apart of will they work together to destroy those who are trying to keep them apart? I do think it would be beneficial to have been familiar with the authors Demonica Underworld series prior to reading this book , however having said that I did enjoy the crossover and although I was a tad confused on occasion, found that it did not deeply impact on my ability to read and enjoy the book.

Next up I read in the Master and Mercenaries crossover series I get to is Her Guardian Angel by Larissa Ione. This is my first read by this author. I will read some paranormal romance books, but not a whole lot. They need to grasp my attention and make it somewhat believable. Larissa does that with bringing Suzanne and Declan together. This story had me hooked from the get go. When Declan thought he was the one protecting, Suzanne turns the table on him. Towards the end we learn the truth about what Declan's past brings. And the sexy times scenes, almost had my kindle combusting lol. Great story with a lot of twists and turns! I am so excited to continue next with the other books. This crossover is rocking it and my new addiction with these craze fanfare books!!

I have a confession to make. I’ve not read anything by this author before now. (I know, shameful, right?!?) As much as I love paranormal romance, and as many times as I’ve looked at this author and this series, I’ve just not gotten around to it. After reading this story, that is an oversight I’m going to have to correct ASAP! The good news is, this book was written in such a way that I didn’t feel like I was lost or had missed anything (other than some really good stories) and was able to keep up with the story just fine. I have to admit, I was initially concerned about how a PNR was going to fit into the totally contemporary world of the Masters & Mercenaries. I’m totally surprised and impressed at how well it turned out. I’m a huge fan of comic based super hero movies (Avengers, Superman, Batman, etc) and this book read a lot like that. Declan and Suzanne are amazing together. They just fit together perfectly. And throughout everything that is thrown at them that doesn’t waver. There is so much going on in this book, that I was totally engrossed the entire time I was reading. Considering I was coming in blind, with no back story from the Demonica Underworld Series, I was hooked right from page 1. I’m totally amazed at how much I enjoyed this book, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for something different from a PNR. I’m definitely going to go back and start at the beginning now!
