Cloud Nine deals with the growing relationship between a teenaged girl and her self-appointed spirit guardian, and the many situations she faces as she tries to synch him up into her typical teenager life. These implicit complications include her friends, family and a former boyfriend. Definetively a fine romance to read.
The author seems to possess a keen knowledge of the teen mind, which makes her able to create credible teenagers, quite a difficult deed. Earlier on, the writer manages to pull one of the most dangerous stunts in the English language: switching from one character viewpoint to another while still mantaining the first person narrative... and she succeeds. Usually this is certain literary suicide; some readers will find find these non-standard handling of conventions jarring and confusing. But the author apparently thinks 'Damn the torpedoes' and goes full speed ahead, spinning a very charming tale with a lot of bravado. Highly recommended.

Cloud Nine is a YA Paranormal Romance and the first book in the The Guardian of Man series written by Melissa A. Smith. I read this as a R2R with The Knights of the Round Table. As always, a special thank you to the mods and author for allowing me to participate.
The Review:
I really wanted to love this book. The idea and theme was pretty amazing but the follow through just didn’t do it for me.
Writing-
There were a ton of editing errors throughout the entirety of the book. Lots of here, hear, there, their type of errors as well as word switch (you are mine; mine are you) errors. There was also a constant switch between past and present tense and it drove me nuts. I had to keep re-reading a sentence to make sure I got its understanding. I think this story would have been ten times better if it had an improved editing job and flowed more smoothly.
Story-
This was a sweet budding romance between a human and a Guardian. A tale of young love that develops between two people who are playing the odds and trying to win. Well, that was the theme of the book, but again, the follow through just didn’t pull it off.
Sterling went to her as a Guardian to “help” her because he thought she was too independent at such a young age. Finding himself drawn to her, he has to find out what the attraction is and so he watches her from afar until gathering the nerve to appear before her. What I disliked about this scenario was he never actually helped her. They immediately fall into a relationship and fall in love. Other than her former boyfriend and his former girlfriend, there’s no conflict. There’s so much potential for things to go wrong but their circumstances aren’t utilized by the author.
Not much happens throughout the book until the last couple of chapters. Aside from many telepathic conversations, lots of cuddling and kissing and a bunch of “I love you’s”, there’s hardly any action but tons of exposition. The Guardians have all this power but we see very little of it.
Characters-
For Sterling to be over 700 years old, he was rather unworldly in maturity. You’d think through hundreds of years of studying and interacting with the human condition he’d have a firmer grasp on mankind, their traditions, and be somewhat above petty emotions. I was struck by how infantile he (and Skye) was. Shouldn’t an enlightened race of beings destined to help mankind be… well, enlightened? They were like a bunch of teenagers with bouts of jealousies and insecurities. It was disappointing to say the least.
Claire was only seventeen and was suffering the effects of a former broken heart so I understood her caution towards Sterling but I didn’t really care for her personality. She was insecure and needy.
I however did really like some of the conversations she and Sterling had. I found myself smiling at their witty banter.
I also really liked Ariana and Argento. Their quickly formed friendship was fun and lighthearted and they seemed very protective of Sterling, calling each other brother and sister. It was nice to see the closeness of them. I also really enjoyed the time spent with Claire’s close knit family, especially the comical grandparents and her protective father.
The Wrap Up:
I think the author was on the right track with the story and I think this book had tons of potential but it just wasn’t for me. The last chapters seemed to be building up to a showdown but that never happened, leaving me disappointed. It ended with a small cliffy but Im just not interested enough to move on to book two. However, if you’re looking for a sweet and easy read without much conflict, then this would be a great book for a young reader.

2.5/5 stars
Cloud Nine is a story a seventeen year old girl, Claire, who meets a “guardian” one morning. The guardian, Sterling, is there to help this self-sufficient teenager, and they end up falling in love. However, their love does not go as smoothly with prior romances surfacing and putting a strain on their relationship.
The story is written in first person following Claire and Sterling. Claire is seventeen and considered to be a self-sufficient teenager because her parents are hardly ever home. Her prior boyfriend from months ago, Josh, dumped her, causing some trust issues with any new romantic relationships. Sterling is a guardian that has been working for around one thousand years (I can’t remember the exact century given.) When he first sees Claire, he falls instantly in love and makes Claire his charge. Eventually they fall in love. Although the characters are fine in their own way, I find some discrepancies with them. Considering that at the beginning of the story Claire’s parents are supposed to be working a lot and out of the picture – causing her to be self-sufficient, the reader sees a lot of them in the book and their concern about her new budding relationship. As for Sterling’s friends/relations, things mentioned at the beginning didn’t quite add up for me later on. For example, Sterling admits that Claire is making him do a lot “firsts” such as appear human. My thinking is: if he doesn’t appear as human until now, why would he have need of a house-even simply furnished? Just to feel connected? This didn’t add up for me. It seems as like it was written for convenience.
Within the plot, nothing much happens. There is a premise of a story—past relationships getting in the way, and the fact that Sterling and Claire is the first guardian/human combo to come about—but really nothing happens besides meeting the family and romance. I think if there was a little less kissing, blushing, and “You really love him/her, don’t you?” there would be more room for a better developed plot. The ending is abrupt; nothing is really tied up. We go from after Thanksgiving break to Christmas time without much description of what happened. I would have liked to seen more explanation about the grandma and her “keen”ness on the whole relationship. Also, a better explanation as to what went on with Josh. One final note, this book contains a lot of grammatical errors. The errors are distracting throughout most of the book. There are misspelling (ex. within the first chapter – guardian “angle” not “angel”), punctuation (ex. No comma when using the person’s name in the sentence “I am here to be of service to you Claire” not “to you, Claire”), heterographic homophones (ex. “hear” and “here” mixed up), and the tense throughout the book switches from present to past tense.
This book is written for young adults. It is a clean book – only kissing (lots of kissing actually.) I think with some editing it could be turned into a great story.

Cloud Nine is a short read and this case, that's a good thing. Oh boy...what can I say about this book. This is a book club selection and I wouldn't have picked this for myself. First off, you guys know that I'm a sucker for good cover art! I know that a pretty cover is not always a sign of a good book, but it is a sign of resources. An artist for cover art, an editor for the story, etc. In this case, the cover art was a accurate representation of what the story is.
I rated this two bookmarks and that was generous. I was debating on giving it only one, but it wasn't THAT bad. Overall I really felt that the writing was immature, the characters weren't developed and the world building was none existent. In the fantasy genre, world building is crucial, in my opinion anyway.
There was a good premise to the story and I liked the idea of what this book could have been, but the author missed opportunities to delve into the world of the Angels. Instead she barely scratched surface of the paranormal aspects and focused more on the "romance"...if that's what you want to call it. The level of romance in this book is lukewarm at best, so it's safe for younger teen readers.
The Angel, Sterling, is very immature. Especially for someone who is supposed to be over 700 years old. Not to mention that he's been helping and mentoring humans for 700 years, so I don't understand how he can be so childish and jealous. That doesn't make sense to me. The female lead, Claire, was full of teenage angst as one would expect of a 17 year old. Throw in a few crazy and obsessed exes on both sides and we have tons of drama. Good drama? Not necessarily.
I usually don't like to nitpick a book to death, but there were so many grammatical errors that I had to mention it. So if you're a stickler for that, this book will bother you.
On the plus side, I did enjoy some of the conversations that Claire and Sterling had. I found myself chuckling at their banter. I also thought that the secondary characters Ariana and Argento were really good. They both really added to the story and made Sterling a little more acceptable. He is almost like their younger brother. I also can appreciate the fact that Claire's parents and family were around. The family and their thoughts on Claire's relationships were very realistic and I always can appreciate a story that can balance a little realism with fantasy.
Overall I thought that this story had great potential. I only wished that the writing was more mature and Sterling and Claire's characters were more flushed out. Also, as I mentioned earlier, I would have loved to experience more of the world of Angels. That would have added an amazing edge to the story. An editor would have been a great addition as well. However, if you’re looking for a fun, light and easy read without substantial conflict or too much going on, then this would be a good choice.

Cloud Nine was one of the most disappointing books I have come across. The blurb promised so much but the book delivered a hald-baked plot and cardboard characters. It is all 'hey I am your guardian angel. I lurve you so much' and them bam, return of the most stalkerish exes ever. Claire and Sterling are bland for protagonists and spend most of the time being attached at the lips and breaking hearts as they go. (eyeroll) Also, meet the family happens more than one time and it all is repititive. The entire set of characters is boring and the author has trouble sticking to things - first we find out that Claire basically takes her of herself because her parents are so absent and later on, they are being all concerned and friendly parents and basically around all the time. Exes are trying to meddle and win back. Upstairs, there are some bereaucratic geezers that don't give a damn about what their guardian angels are doing. Seriously, I can't believe with the lack of authority, how no angel until Sterling even thought of hooking up with humans. Must have not occured to them, right - what with all the shacking up with fellow angels. Also, exactly what these guardians do beside 'being' there and doing genie jobs, I can't guess. They even got their charges sent into asylums in the past, so I doubt they know what protecting their charges exactly means. The end was so anti-climatic (what was the plot exactly?), I was like - are you effing kidding me? The psychopathic ex will just be 'watched'? Really? I wanted to throw it across the room but sadly it was a digital copy and I love my tablet too much for that. Seriously, nothing in this book makes me want to pick up the sequel.

I cannot sum up this book better than what is already said by the synopsis, so all I can do is offer my humble opinion of the story. It's amazing. The whole concept of this specific guardian form was something that I had to get used to, but once Sterling took on a human form.. it was much easier to adjust.
The characters are great. Claire is your typical teenager in the way that she has a typical teenage voice - a little confusing and erratic and sometimes all out irrational, but it is exactly what you would expect from someone her age. I love the interactions between her and Sterling, who is definitely one of those lovable guy's in YA that we love to swoon over. He is definitely a guardian and I think he did his job well, especially when it came to protecting and taking care of Claire. I also have to note that the other characters in the book are just as great - from Claire's friend to Sterling's "sibling" guardians... and even Sterling's ex, who is someone you just love to hate. She does "woman scorned" quite well.
This is yet another great book from another great indie author! I'd say this is a definite recommended read to all of my YA paranormal romance lovers out there. Melissa Smith is a wonderful writer and I look forward to more from her in the future.

This was a great, light read. There was plenty of depth to the characters, and plenty of detail to the history and background of the story. I liked the play on the Guardians, how they are portrayed as a wispy cloud, and I imagined the Overseers as possibly higher ranking angels, as the idea behind the guardians is very similar to my idea of guardian angels.
There's love and jealousy, good friends, almost too reasonable parents but they were supportive and did show a bit of protectiveness. Sterling is amazing and very old fashioned, unsure what to do with himself when he finds himself following, and eventually offering himself as guardian, to Claire before falling in love with her. Claire is a bit of a loner, left alone a lot by her overworked parents, and finally getting over a broken heart. She's quickly confused after Sterling agrees to appear as human, and she finds herself attracted to him, and soon finds herself attached and falling in love with him as well. Sterling as a past as well though, and it shows up to try to get between them, making threats and eventually sending Sterling to the Overseers for help, all while hoping the Overseers don't tell him his and Claire's relationship is forbidden.

My Review:
Come back to where it all began ♥ Silver Lining is a novella on how two of my favorite characters, Argento and Ari fell in love. It's a fun and interesting look into the beginning of a deliciously tender relationship that I have come to adore. Although Ari seems to be right on que where her charge is concerned, she may need a few pointers when it comes to the love of her life....her mate. A girl can only play hard to get for so long!! ;)
Argento is more then patient while waiting for Ari to realize that he is his mate. He has waited for her to come around, watching her from near and far for 50 years!! *Swoon* I think we need more Heros like Argento!! ;)
If you love the Guardians, you'll love this delightful look into where it all started! A little slice of Heaven not to be missed!!
My Rating: 5 Stars!!

This book really had a lot of potential but in my opinion, it was disappointing. The love story was pretty good except it never fails to get to me just how quickly human characters will accept and fall all over a not so human person. This story touched that nerve quite a few times with claire's family and sTerlings family. I could get over that, though. What I could not get over the fact that the author built up some good suspense only to let it dwindle and fail by just glossing over it instead of capturing the moment and riding it out like she did with all the lovey dovey stuff. That was a huge let down for me. On the plus side she did write an awesome but short scene where Claire laid the smack down on her nemisis that had me saying, " oh snap!"
If you are a person who doesn't mind action scenes being so quickly passed over and love romance, this is def your book!

I don't understand all these 5-star reviews. It's not a bad premise but it just seems like a first try at writing without any edits or reviews. Maybe with some fine-tuning it could be more readable and entertaining, but it's just so lacking as is. It was a waste of my money.

I loved this book. Refreshing, entertaining and excellent.
