Friends! I'm not going to waste any time before I tell you that Guardian by Stacie Santoro was a FIVE STAR READ!
This is the second book from the Salvation Society that I have read, and I'm hooked. Give me all the books in this series. Seriously. Hand 'em over.
Guardian is a paranormal romance! It has been SO LONG since I've read a PNR, and I honestly forgot how much I tend to enjoy them. Aarabelle just accepted a job at Valor-Reed Security, and she has been teamed up with Lorcan. Lorcan is also new to Valor-Reed, but really he's undercover. Lorcan is a Warlock, and he's on a mission from the King to track down an item that is extremely important.
I FREAKING LOVED THIS BOOK! From the beginning I was all in. Witnessing the work relationship quickly blossom into a friendship, and then them being a couple, was everything. I loved the suspense. I loved the entire storyline. Guardian reminded me of a few Nora Roberts trilogies that I had loved. I want to talk about the scene toward the end of the book when Lorcan was off fighting, but spoilers. SO GOOD! I want more of these characters. I want more PNR featuring a human and a Warlock.
I feel like I haven't said enough about the book, but it's so hard because I don't want to ruin anything. Just know that this book gives you the romance and the suspense/action that is needed with a PNR.
If you are a fan of paranormal romances, work place romances, instalove, and/or the Salvation Society, then GO READ GUARDIAN!

She lives her life in the light.
Aarabelle Gilcher-Dempsey grew up wanting to make the world a safer place. So, when she leaves the FBI to be closer to her family and start her new career back home at Valor-Reed Security, she is both settled and excited. And she’s ready for her first assignment, investigating suspicious break-ins at the homes of the security firm’s exclusive art-collecting clients. But she didn’t expect a distraction in the form of her new colleague or the intense attraction she feels for him.
He’s lived most of his life in the shadows.
Lorcan Ryder, an elite guard for the Warlock King, is sent into the human world to find the exclusive painting holding the Crown Zenith, one of three power zeniths in existence and the source of power for all magicals. And he must find it before it falls into the wrong hands.
When Aarabelle and Lorcan are teamed up at Valor-Reed, their connection is undeniable and more powerful than either can resist.
Aarabelle is about to learn how unsafe the world can truly be.
Lorcan is about to realize that his mission finds him more than he was looking for.
When their worlds collide and danger surrounds them, difficult choices will have to be made.
And a guardian will have to rise.
About the Author
Stacie Santoro lives with her family in New York, in the town where she was born and raised. She is the mom to three amazing boys and wife to a great man (who swept her off her feet with his basketball skills).
When she's not running with her family, you can find her enjoying a glass of wine or cup of tea, reading a book or daydreaming about a million things; like stories to write, putting her toes in the sand or owning every lip gloss created. Or maybe having one created just for her.
She's also smiling big from the release of her debut novel, The Real Devil; Journal One, and a firm believer that it's never too late to make your dreams come true.
