About the author

Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author Kris Michaels is the alter ego of a happily married wife and mother. She writes romance, usually with characters from military and law enforcement backgrounds.
Kris was born and raised in South Dakota. She graduated many years ago from a high school class of 13 students (yes, that is thirteen, eleven girls, and two boys...lucky boys). She joined the military, met her husband, and traveled the world. Today she lives on the Gulf Coast and writes full-time.
Kris is an avid people watcher and dreamer. The stories she writes are crafted around the hopes and dreams of a true romantic. She believes love is essential, people are beautiful, and everyone deserves a happy ending.
When she isn't writing, Kris enjoys a full life revolving around family, friends, laughing, whiskey, and cold red wine. (Yes, cold...don't judge.)

Anna was quite irritating. If I never read the phrase 'bull pucky' again, I'll be happy. She was just so howdy dooty. But not in a good way, if there is one. Anna went on about her self resilience. Then in the same breath, she'd go fishing for compliments from "one named" Gabriel. Writh with insecurity. Even when he confessed his feelings to her. She'd ask him again, just to get him to say more.
Now, speaking of, "one named" Gabriel....he only goes by his first name. It's annoying. Will do business for this multi-billion company, with just his first name. Will yell out stuff like, "get me the pentagon!" And just use his first name while reaching the pentagon, having talks with the senator, joint chiefs of staff, etc. It's ridiculous.
The serial killer... saw who that was a mile away. The author left some good hints. But wow was that anticlimactic as all get out. And so unlike this killer to behave this way. Like allllll his murders, over 6 years, he deviated this one time in the most outlandish way. Like he wasn't going to get caught?!
The drama with McNair? Wow, did that TOO fizzle with a tiny plump. Like what? His storyline was just so contrived. And what's with Gabriel still considering him his bff after knowing the kind of man he is? Why did he put up with it after seeing the evidence?!
And lastly, my contention with Gabriel...he was a robot. Snooze fest, boring, no emotion, but not in a broody way. Just in a, I have nothing to build into this character, so I'm gonna make him stoic and flat All... through... out... the book. So when the instalove happened, it was another eye roll for me.
They clicked but they lived in different cities and he was very busy building his business.
Six years later Jackie was attacked again but was saved by a passing person. Anna came to help her friend heal and Gabriel came to find the serial killer for good. The sparks were still there and they resumed their relationship.
This was a great combination romance and crime thriller.
I enjoyed the idea that this took place in the past when people were using pagers and things were recorded on VHS.
Personality and her love for her job as a registered nurse.
Kris Michaels wrote a great story! If you intense action then this book is for you. If you like a strong leading man then this book is for you. If you like a little bit of humor then...
If you are wondering about purchasing this book? Take a chance.

This is Gabriel and Anna's story. What made this more fun for me, is that it was set in the 90s. No internet. no smart phones .
The mention of of Dallas and Dysntey television series .
We have a serial killer on the loose and Guaridan Securities are called into help. But it is not the serial killer that Anna has to watch out for. Anna and Gabriel's attaction is hot.
I also loved the fact, neither of them pretended how their felt . It was refreshing.
A love story that builds .
I did enjoyed the narration of Matt Haynes. It take me a couple of words and I settle into his voice.

This is a great series and whilst the timeline of the books is split across Guardian Defenders and Kings of Guardian they all intertwine and overlap.

Usually I hate prequels, to me they usually feel like spinoffs and unnecessary. This is not the case here, this book is a prequel done correctly. It is not only a great story of Gabriel, but of Guardian as well. A great Chance encounters as well. Thrn the book comes back to the present and picks up where the main story left off.
I like that the story show bother characters humanitarian dides but also dispite the physical differences bot the characters are a strong as each other. This story is as much Anns's as well. As I have seen Gabrial from other books of the series I pretty much pieced his character together but Anna is not mentioned as much so it was great to get to know her, though she is one of the few characters not involved with Guardian she save people in her own way one life at a time.

It is also set in the 80s, the good old days when you really could get lost. When your computer wasn't in your pocket, mobile phones were bricks, and payphone were a real method of communication.It
This is a fully packed book. Murder,Romance,Mystery. Sometimes I get bored because all the plot seems to entail is getting the girl, or finding whodunit. But with this there is an after! A beyond! and I just read it in a day. And I'm a book dumper. If it's boring, too much parsing or yet more sex I loose interest. If you have read the Guardian books set in today this is well worth reading, and if you haven't it stands on it own very well.
