The Guardian - Nicholas Sparks



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?

  2. 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.

  6. 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!

  9. 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.
