Product Description
New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood takes breathless sensuality to thrilling heights in this unforgettable adventure of passion and intrigue. The Emerald flew across the seas, carrying the pirate Pagan -- despised by the ton, whose riches he plundered, and beloved by the poor, whose plight was eased by his gifts. The Marquess of Cainewood vows to hunt down the pirate wretch in revenge for his brother's death. But when Jade, an enchanting vision of rippling red hair and eyes of jewel-green, appears at his door to beg desperately for his protection, the Marquess agrees to keep her safe from the villains who want her dead. Jade is infuriating, exasperating, and gorgeous; Caine is noble, strong-willed, and powerful. No woman has ever befuddled him so, nor so deeply aroused his desire. But as Jade answers his knowing caresses with an innocent, wild abandon, they are drawn into a web of treachery that will test the very heart of their love!

not as bad as people made it out to be September 16, 2008

I read a lot of reviews saying there was too much political intrigue and needs more romance. Therefore I was a little wary when reading it, however after finishing it, I highly disagree. It was balanced perfectly; how many romantic scenes can you continue reading without a break? Because the author inserted other issues to think about, it felt nice to read about the romance in between; otherwise anyone would get tired of the same repeated phrases because how many different ways can you describe the love scenes? I liked the political intrigue, it gave some mystery and good plot to work with. I didn't think the book was as good as Lion's Lady, the first in the series, but it certainly was better than the third, The Gift.
 Guardian Angel is great! August 31, 2008
Guardian Angel / The GiftAnother fantastic read. Couldn't put it down. I highly recommend this read.
Anything by Garwood is good. July 1, 2008
If you love Julie Garwood and you love Historical romances, you will love this book. I collect her books and have quite a a collection, so anytime I can get my hands on one I buy it. In fact, I love her books so much I often re-read them several times. This one is great. you wil Love it.
A pleasent read June 26, 2008
I can't say that this is one of Garwood's better novels, but I did enjoy it. It took me awhile to get into it, but once I did, I couldn't put it down until I was finished.
I rather liked Caine and Jade. I did notice however that Jade was similar in temperment to Christina in the first book Lyon's Lady. While not exactly a bad thing, I felt that Jade couldn't have been written a little differently.
Guardian Angel CAN be read on it's own, though characters introduced in Lyon's Lady are revisited in this one. I always recommend one read the books in order to see what happened BEFORE the other characters met.

This is the 2nd book in a series, The Lion's Lady is the first. You can read this book on it's own, but it does visit the characters from the previous book. This was a reread for me. It's not my favorite Julie Garwood book, but I still think it is really good. I enjoy it everytime I read it.
The Marquess of Cainewood (Caine) is on a mission to trap a Pirate. He is masquerading as his enemy, the Pirate Pagan, at a local watering hole. He is hoping that his deception will lure the REAL Pagan to him. Caine wants to kill Pagan, as he has been told that the Pirate is responsible for his younger brothers recent death.
In walks Jade. She is beautiful and certaintly doesn't belong in this bar. She walks up to Caine and asks if he is Pagan. When he says yes she has a strange request.
Caine is intrigued.
To tell you more would spoil some surprises.
This is a good read. The "mystery" parts dragged a bit for me, but I think the wit and loveability of the characters more than make up for it.
It's fun to see how Jade and Caine work together. They compliment eachother well. She is clever, quirky and a little unusual. He is steady and logical, but Jade brings out a lighter side in him. He handles her insecurities beautifully.
