Product Description
The Eyes of the Republic are Everywhere.
The victim of what she believes is a malicious kidnapping, seer Delilah Desjardins quickly realizes that her abductor is on a mission to save her from assassins. Rafe, a fallen angel, must ensure that Delilah, blessed with the gift of foresight, reaches her true calling as an oracle for the Republic--and if his divine calling results in a more earthly relationship between the two of them, well, he doesn’t mind that at all.
Drawn to Rafe, but fearing the loss of her gifts should she surrender to his charms, Delilah knows she has to leave him. But fleeing his guardianship sets the assassins on her trail again. As Rafe races to save Delilah, he knows he isn’t just saving her for the good of the Republic, for the angels, or for the future--he’s saving her for himself.

Not bad, Aug 26 2010
By Donna Simmonds - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Guardian (Mass Market Paperback)
Enjoyed this one a lot more than the first book. Still well written with great characters and a good story line. But with having already read one book in the series, the learning curve for the world was not as rough. Made it much easier to enjoy the story.

Best & Worst, July 31 2010
By Tez Miller - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Guardian (Mass Market Paperback)
There are so many fascinating things about this futuristic post-apocalyptic setting: The radiation poisoning, birth defects, the Society of Nuclear Darwinists, the Republic, the technology, the Frontier, the pleasure fringes...it's hard NOT to be passionate about this brilliantly researched world.
But with highs this high, anything less than awesome has nowhere to hide. even Delilah admits she can't think properly with Rafe around, and that pretty much explains why romance in fiction rarely works for me. But I still pick up the books, hoping to read of nifty worlds with fascinating plots, even if the characters do piss me off.
In short, you may want to both hug this book and throw it against the wall.

Disappointed, Nov 1 2009
By Sam Song - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Guardian (Mass Market Paperback)
I read the first book in this series, Fallen, and it was quite good, with an interesting plot, complex characters and provocative universe. The story continually moved forward, so naturally I looked forward to the second story.
Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in the quality of this second story, Guardian. The two main characters struck me as one-dimensional, self-centered individuals interested only in their own agendas.
I tried very hard to finish this story, but I finally gave up after struggling through the first three-quarters of the book. I found the plot to be slow and boring with a lot of prolonged repetition of the characters' previously revealed internal thoughts.
Listmania!
