This week I read The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks... man, this book was a whirlwind and a quick read [like most Nicholas Sparks novels]. The book takes place in a small town in NC [again, with references to Wilmington, which I love] and is the story of a woman Julie and her life after her husband passes... it starts with a great dane puppy that is delivered to her door on Christmas Eve [arranged by her husband before he passed]. The story then continues a few years later with a love triangle of sorts. This book is a nice mix of romance and thriller mixed into one and if you're a romantic dog lover [not like that, separately - I'm a romantic AND I love dogs... I don't love dogs romantically, you know what I mean] then this book will tug at your heartstrings. Another quick read by Nicholas Sparks that will have you laughing and crying [and if you're a baby like me clutching to your husbands arm while you read it and nervous to turn the pages].
I'm onto The Choice by Nicholas Sparks next...
What are some good books you've read lately?

That sounds like a wonderful read! I am also a romantic dog lover (haha, loved your clarification!).
Thank you for linking up & sharing!
The Guardian was my favorite Nicholas Sparks book until The Last Song came out. But it is definitely a close second!
I cried and cried and cried at the end!!
I have read every Nicholas Sparks book except for the Nights in Roadnthe. I have loved every single one. He is definitely in my top 5 favorite authors list.
love Nicholas Sparks! FYI I finished Little Bee... it wasn;t what I expected...didnt really have a great ending...and I thought it was a waste of time! BUT I am reading the first of the Hunger Games and loving it!
Oh I love Nicholas Sparks!
I haven't read any Nicholas Sparks books in awhile. It sounds like a good one.
Although I'm questioning that photo of Ollie and his peen a few posts ago. Romantic dog lover? ;)
I love his books, the choice is a wonderful book you will love it!!
There is nothing like a good Nicholas Sparks book! I read this one a few years ago and loved it. His books that weave the love story/mystery are my favorite!
I absolutely love Nicholas Sparks!! His books are always easy and fun to read and I get drawn in immediately! Great review!
her husband arranged to have a puppy delivered to her after his death? sounds very "p.s. i love you" to me...
I loved this book! It's one of my favorite Nicholas Sparks books. I was sobbing over the end... Which I guess is par for the course for his books. Haha.
