Kelly Fox really knows how to put a well crafted book together.
Fantastic layered main characters complimented by interesting side characters, perfect pacing to keep you turning the pages, humour, heat and lots of feels - happy tears, sad tears, laughing hard tears.
Add in some drama, action, angsty bits, bad guys doing bad things, good guys getting even with said bad guys and you have a wonderful start to the Guardians series.
Rafi is an adorable nerd with very poor fashion choices, who’s grieving for his late husband and his friend Everett is the tattooed silver fox with a huge heart, who just so happens to kill bad people.
Their chemistry is undeniable but they take some time before jumping from friends to lovers. Nothing stops them when they make that jump and the heat level turns all the way up to sizzling. Of course they need to overcome some obstacles but do find their way to a HEA.
I loved every moment of this read and can’t wait for more in the series. Highly recommended 5 star read.
