Tell me if you’ve heard this before.  A Guardian, a fallen angel, a sensitive, and a human walk into a bar…..
Abigail Gentry knew her life was going to change when her mother lost her battle with cancer, but she couldn’t have possibly anticipated what that change would entail.    He’s been a Guardian and protector of the human realm for thousands of years, and Cillian’s giving it all up for her.
     She will discover her purpose on earth; he will discover the simplest of human emotions.  Abigail always thought she was just an ordinary woman, but oh, how she’s in for a big surprise.  Everything she’s ever believed will be shattered and the truth will set her on a course of good, evil, near-death experiences, demon possessions, and real love.

MY REVIEW!
3.75 *WINK* READ
 
When thinking of a 'Guardian' read I feel as though there will be action, drama, suspense that I felt was lacking in this read. Then again I have not read another book by the this author in this genre. This could simply be their style of writing. I did love the humor and comedy of it all as I read many snarky authors, but I felt like it was in an awkward manner as the book tried to balance between serious and humor.
 
An unexpected star did catch my attention, Rolfious! I absolutely loved his banter with Cillian, his wit and his charm. He put the other characters to shame in my eyes and I enjoyed him very much. I think him and Maureen's story would have been a bit more interesting than Cillian and Abigail's.
 
If you are looking for a simple read with some blush/romance along with everyone who seem to be a decedent of an angel/demon and the comedy of an angel learning human behaviors this may be for you. Although predictable you will find it a quick read

T.E. Ridener entered the world in the magnificent year of 1985. She's an avid reader, crazy writer, and photoshop addict. She started writing stories at a young age, and will probably do so until she takes her last breath. Forever the daydreamer, not a day passes in which Miss Ridener isn't working on something book related. Her books may be a work of fiction, but there is a lot of truth in each one.
Creating relatable characters and believable storylines mixed in with make-believe is what she is best known for. She always includes a strong female lead, a compassionate male, and tons of every day events that readers will be able to connect with. Miss Ridener is a lover of music, movies, TV shows, and her family.
During the months of November and December, she participates in the charity she helped create called Random Acts of Christmas, an online program geared towards making Christmas happen for families in need. In 2013, they gave over $69,000 in gifts to kids who otherwise would not have had presents to open on Christmas morning. Coming from a childhood of poverty, T.E. understands that life isn't always easy and she has experienced living from paycheck to paycheck. This has fueled her drive to always lend a helping hand in every form possible. She is very active in the group "Books for Troops", a program designed to send ebooks and paperbacks to soldiers currently serving overseas.
T.E. Ridener is the youngest of 3 children, a surviving twin, and an extremely proud aunt. She claims to be married to her books and the characters she creates are her kids. Thus far, she has produced three ongoing series entitled Blood Betrayal (vampires), The Kadenburg Shifters Series (bear-shifters), and The Descendants (elementals). There are loads more and new ones popping up each day. She LOVES her fans and readers, and not a single one of them appear as a number to her. She knows that without them, she wouldn't be where she is today. Every day is a new possibility, a new adventure, and a new dream. Life doesn't get any better than that.
