About this eBook

Swept off your feet and into a nightmare . . .

A powerful blend of love story, betrayal and obsession, The Guardian is written with electrifying intensity, playing with your emotions at every turn.

Widowed at a young age, Julie understands the pain that comes with love and has avoided romance for a long time. As she eases herself back into the dating scene, her eye is caught by the darkly sophisticated Richard, as he begins a passionate pursuit of her affections. But she is still confused by her feelings for best friend Mike: funny, loyal, but definitely not sophisticated.

A seemingly innocent choice sets off a deadly chain of events that leaves Julie fighting for her life, as jealousy simmers into murderous desire.

One of the best books Ive ever read... The emotional roller coaster of feelings was overwhelming, and I couldn't put it down! The intricate backstories, the details of the characters, the small town setting were perfectly crafted. A thriller with humour, heart and one of the best characters I've ever read... You'll fall in love with Singer the dog. Just fantastic, and one I'll read again and again.

I'm a huge fan of Nicholas Sparkes and the way his writing draws you in. This book actually made me cry, I was so involved in it.

Didn't enjoy the thriller element of the book. Not as good as most of his books.
