My favorite Stone sister's book of all time!!! On Guard has so many trope that get me every time. A sad, party boy with an intense past and the good girl trying to change her image. Reese and Dante mean everything to me. They each grow so much from the start of the book. Reese comes into her own, discovers what it means to be bad, cuts her hair in the midst of a mental breakdown, and makes the action movie she's always wanted to. She's fierce. She's soft. She's everything! 

Dante, the bisexual, bad boy fencer who's just trying to get back to the olympics after being banned. He thinks he's alone in the world and that he's a just a let down. For once, there's a sibling in a powerful family that didn't follow the status quo. I love a sad, fictional man. Dante is down bad. He's been down bad for decades. He thinks he has to earn Reese's love, that if he gives up enough and becomes this "good" person he'll finally get the girl he's been dreaming of. He's soft. He's hurt. He's also everything. 

I love their romance so much. There's so much happening in the world around them. They're celebrities under intense scrutiny at all times. They can't escape the paparazzi. They want opposite things from the controversy. They fall in love in big moments and small moments. They yearn A LOT. They hurt each other. They help each other. They love each other so much. I love them so much.
