Nick Wyatt has been on the run his entire life. His mother and he barely stayed
one step ahead of the people hunting them. When the horrific happens and Nick’s
mother is killed, he is left alone to grow up not knowing why he is being hunted
by a race of killers called the Xerans. Nick thinks he is a human – he doesn’t
realize that he is half Xeran. Nick’s Xeran half is what has given him almost
superhero powers – he is quick to heal and extraordinarily strong. What he has
in his possession, however, is the reason he is a target – Nick has an artifact
that the Xerans want and they will continue to hunt him down until they find it.
Riane Arvid and her canine helper Frieka live in the future. Riane is a police
officer and a member of the Temporal Enforcement Agency. She and her fellow
officers have been given a lead on the traitor they are after and so she and
Frieka, after being given their duties, begin their journey to find Ivar Terje.
The minute she leaves the regeneration tube, she realizes that her T-suit has
been messed with and unable to stop, Riane time travels through time and space
until she finally lands in 2009, in the state of South Carolina. Sick and
without power, Riane is almost helpless. It’s a good thing that Nick Wyatt
arrives when he does; he saves Riane from being food for the cyborg, Ivar Terje.
I don’t know how she does it but every single time I read an Angela Knight
release, I am spellbound and in awe at her ability to take a world, make it
realistic, and then pull me into that same world so completely that I do not
want to leave. GUARDIAN is such a book. From scene one until the
end, I couldn’t read fast enough to find out what was going to happen. I
winced, I smiled, and I got a bit emotional when finding out about Riane’s
childhood as well as reliving Nick’s. The chemistry and sexual tension between
these two endearing and strong characters is smoldering hot and erotic. The
fight scenes are dynamic and well, basically, there was nothing I didn’t like.
GUARDIAN
is the second book of Angela Knight’s The Time Hunters series. As such I
highly recommend reading book one, WARRIOR, but if that isn’t
possible, GUARDIAN works very well as a stand-alone. Just be
aware that GUARDIAN starts off after WARRIOR ends.
Don’t miss this heady and futuristic novel, it is awesome!
