The book was exciting, with some fresh, interesting ideas. I picked it up at a dollar store, and didn't necessarily have high expectations for it, but I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't realize that this book was part of a series until I was already a few chapters in. I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I had read the other Guardian novels first...this one seems to be the most recent of the series. I had no trouble following the storyline or connecting with the characters without the background, but I still wish I'd read the other novels first; I might still do so.

There's a little something for everyone in this story: romance, time travel, and even some social and historical commentary about slavery. I recommend it, especially if you've read "A Kiss of Fire" and "Stolen Magic."
