Guarded #2
Guarded Heart
THE CONFRONTRATION SHE FEARED MOST.
After living incognito under the watchful eye of her military Guardian Prime for an entire year, Andee Peters finally believes she is safe. Until she discovers that her young foster sister has been kidnapped and brought through the dimensional veil into the futuristic world of Noma.
Now it’s up to them to cross the divide with the untested power only Andee possesses to rescue the little girl.
But in the process, Andee falls down the dimensional rabbit hole alone.
Not in the modern metropolis of Umbrey she aimed for either, but in the wilds of neutral territory.
There she’s captured by a band of dangerous rebels led by a tall, attractive mountain man determined to find out who this strange young woman really is.
And Leotner c-Tallega doesn’t plan to release Andee until she divulges her true identity,
tempting her in ways that makes her want to confess to all kinds of things she didn’t do.

About the author
Addison Carmichael
28 books339 followersADDISON CARMICHAEL is a Paranormal Romance junkie. Love is a mystical, magical thing to her, and she loves writing and living vicariously through her endless PNR stories. Whether it be alpha male werewolves, fierce dragons, sexy panthers and other shifters, sizzling hot vampires, or illusive sorcerers who will magically make your dreams come true, her imagination is bubbling up several stories after another.
As a literature major, Addison also enjoys weaving classic themes into her books, yet keeping the fun and folklore true to each story and character. While paying strict attention to the tropes of each myth, she also finds unique ways to create new ones in order to make each story as fresh, realistic and plausible as possible.
Addison was born and raised in Southern California and has lived and traveled all over the west coast (and the world). She married the man of her dreams and has two awesome sons, two daughters-of-her-heart, and three grandchildren who are the jewels in her personal crown.
She now lives happily-ever-after with her family (which includes Mollie, her black lab-border collie) in Snohomish, Washington of the U.S. Pacific Northwest.

She’s done it again!
Addison Carmichael is to blame for the fact that my dishes and laundry did not get done today. I opened Guarded Heart and read all the way through to the end. It was an emotional roller coaster from the first page.
After reading Guarded Wish, the first in the series, I was a BIG Andee and Mick shipper so I was worried, but she has created characters that won me over. Now the only thing that has me worried is whether I can wait until October to find out how it all ends!

I enjoyed the first book so much, I had to grab this one, too! From a strange beginning to fantastic adventures in a far-away land, this book kept me riveted to the page. I can't wait for #3!

So many surprises! I can't imagine being torn between two worlds and two men. She is such a strong woman and I can't wait to see how it all turns out!

This is the second in a series written by Addison Carmichael. I received a copy of the book from the author, but she has gone out of her way to make sure I wasn't influenced by anything she said or did. Thank you for that Addison, but you needn't have worried. My questions after reading the first book have definitely disappeared with the second.
I had been prepared to find things I didn't like about Andee/Sandy in the second book, the way I had in the first, but that wasn't the case. She had matured in the year that spans the time between books 1 and 2. And she and Mick have a different relationship now and it works. Or at least it works for a while. I don't want to post any spoilers here, so I'm going to carefully say that all is not as it seems in Andee's life and while I liked the character of Leot at the beginning, that didn't last. It was at this same point in the book, and actually for more than a few dozen pages, I wanted to slap Mick WITH the book, right up alongside his dumb head.
One of the reviewers here posted on her blog asking if we could live in a house of rubies, would we do it. And if we could talk to animals, and they'd talk back, would we still eat them. Yes to the first, and oh way no, to the second. But those two questions sort of sum up this book for me. It is a YA title that turned out to be entertaining and fun to read, even with all the drama that the characters created, it wasn't over the top Khardiashian-style drama. Once I got all of the interruptions in my life completed so I could sit down and read this book, I read the last half in one sitting.
I'm impressed. Addison Carmichael has a very good pen and I'm looking forward to reading the third in this series. :-)
