Jude Shea's life is turned upside down when he rescues a dog he names Joe. Even though Jude has enough trouble taking care of himself-he doesn't even have a job-he can't resist the animal that needs him. Then one night, a man shows up on his doorstep looking to claim Jude's new companion. As they run from a surprise attack, Jude finds out that "Joe" is not what he seems. Eoin Thral is a guardian from an alternate dimension, and once he leads Jude through the veil that separates their worlds, he transforms into a handsome hulk of a man known for his fighting skills, not the capacity for love. Jude finds himself immersed in Eoin's world, and he's faced with the fight of his life to secure a happy future for them both.… (plus d'informations)

Terribile. Davvero, davvero terribile. Che avevo in testa quando l’ho comprato? Boh, era il lontano 2013, chi se lo ricorda più… Questa lettura, infatti, fa parte del mio recente impegno a svecchiare la mia lista: mi è venuto a noia aprirla su Goodreads e vedere sempre gli stessi libri!

Chi dice che per leggere servono motivazioni profonde?

Tornando a Il Guardiano, è difficile anche solo iniziare a parlarne tanto è raccapricciante. Prendiamo l’aspetto fantasy: è piazzato lì solo per giustificare l’esistenza di un guerriero bruto che si lamenta ogni tre per due che nessunə ha mai amato perché è troppo disumano. Mah, io penso sia piuttosto per il fatto che sei un violentatore del cazzo, Eoin: porca vacca, Mary Calmes, come ti è venuto in mente che fosse okay che uno dei protagonisti violentasse delle donne perché, ehi, ha delle esigenze che vanno soddisfatte! Ma io da lettrice dovrei sentirmi meglio perché gli fai dire che le violentava a malincuore? Ma scherziamo!?

E il suo rapporto con Jude non è migliore, visto che lo rapisce, lo maltratta e di fatto lo violenta, anche se l’autrice ha cercato di farlo passare per un impeto di passione travolgente, una roba che mi ha fatto chiudere il libro e andare a fare un giro per smaltire il disagio. Io voglio smettere di trovare frasi come Non puoi dirmi di no fatte passare come romanticismo e amore. Basta, basta, basta!

Per il resto, è uno dei romanzi più piatti e noiosi che abbia mai letto: non succede praticamente niente, qualunque tensione narrativa viene liquidata in due righe e i personaggi sono talmente monodimensionali da essere quasi intercambiabili.

Che tristezza. Vado ad affogare la mia disperazione per aver comprato un altro libro di quest’autrice nel tè... ( )

This story was ok. It wasn’t earful. It just annoyed me. I felt like every time I started to get into the plot they either jumped to a smexy-ish scene or jumped script so the rest of that portion of story line was kept off page. It was also a bit confusing that the POV jumps to at least 6 people. I get the use of it but seriously, some kind of cue of who’s head we are about to enter would be appreciated. (I saw other reviewers with the same complaint.). You really do feel like you missed something and it takes a few sentences or chapter to realise you switched the POV and didn’t actually miss anything. It would have taken me longer to register the jumps if I hadn’t read a review where someone warned it happens like that. (Sry I forgot to check the name of the reviewer.). I also felt like the ending was sweet but too rushed. I can’t explain that better without spoilers. ( )

Mi aspettavo di più... Non succede poi molto per tutto il libro e il personaggio di Eoin non mi ha affatto colpito... ( )

three stars. I found this book to be good. It has the fame feels as her other novels, but the medieval aspect threw me a little. ( )

I have to say that this author knows how to create an intriguing world. I loved the character of Jude. He is someone that we all can relate. He does not know his own appeal and folks just want to be with him.

Now, that being said, I did feel like the ending was rushed. This book could easily been twice as long as we went through the war. To me, it was a waste of a chance and we could have had some great character development. As it was, it was pretty much, "grrr you mate! I protect!". Mehh.


Overall, I enjoyed the book though and will continue to seek out books by this author! ( )

This one is for my husband, who thinks he doesn't help, for Elizabeth and Lynn at Dreamspinner, who do, and for my family and friends, for all theirs.
