About this ebook

 Full-length Paranormal Romance Novel

Butt-kicking Guardian, Madelyn Mason, is the only female in a sea of supernatural males. College student by day, she spends her nights fighting for mankind--the innocents, the ones who have no clue that the things of nightmares walk among the living.

Larger than life Hollywood hunk, Brady Devens, has won the hearts of millions of adoring fans. But, the only heart he wants to win is that of his mate, Madelyn. She hasn't shown an interest in him as anything more than a friend, and he’s beginning to think the Powers That Be goofed.

In this world of magik, mishap, demons, gods, and pleasure nymphs, anything is possible. Can they find a love that transcends time and space or will the Powers That Be decide maybe they weren’t destined for one another after all?

Ratings and reviews

I loved this story from page one. I am partial to feisty women with witty dialogue. Madelyn is as snarky with her internal thoughts as her conversations. She is a lone female Guardian, those who make sure mortals are not taken out by supernaturals. Maddie knows she has magik, and uses it to protect. She also has a great male friend, Brady who is a hot film commodity. He is a lot more, and he means more to her. While she is attracted she doesn't want to ruin their friendship, a friendship that pushes many boundaries. There is much she doesn't know and circumstances start to require answers that only bring more questions. Fighting the bad guys, using her magik, school all threaten her endurance and makes her vulnerable. She learns that Brady is much more and their relationship is going to change. Old loves come back into her life, family she didn't know existed. Her life is changing. She is kick-ass. The strength of the uncanny loyalty she engenders with the males in her world surprises them and Madelyn. The fight scenes are vivid and brutal. The steamy scenes could heat all of Alaska for a winter. Don't miss the pole dancing sequence and the reaction of all. There is a war coming and all the Guardians must prepare. Can she find her love while all this goes on? Will all the revelations be too much? Ms. Roth promises a wild ride in her description and she delivers

I can guarantee you will fall in love with characters of this book. And I mean ALL the characters I will warn you now that there is graphic violence throughout and explicit sexual content. But even with those the book had me glued from page one, and it just kept getting better as I went. I found that I couldn't put it down, and everytime I got to the end of each chpt and decided that was that for the night as it was getting late, I then would talk myself into just one more, (The deadly JUST one more. lol) as I just had to know what happened next. I'm not going to go into the in's and out's of the book as that will give too many spoilers away. But this book is full of twists and turns a few tears (well for me there was) but mainly you'll be laughing all the way through especially when you meet the nymphs, (so naughty). Personally I can't wait to read the next instalment of the series to find out what happens to all of them next.

Mandy M. Roth masters the paranormal like few others, and the first of the Guardians series is no different. From action to shocks to revelations that leave us slack-jawed, from pure love and emotion to extremely hot moments, The Guardians is a superbly woven story that keeps you hooked from the first few pages and refuses to let you go until the final laugh (because laugh I did). A great read.
