This was a great, light read. There was plenty of depth to the characters, and plenty of detail to the history and background of the story. I liked the play on the Guardians, how they are portrayed as a wispy cloud, and I imagined the Overseers as possibly higher ranking angels, as the idea behind the guardians is very similar to my idea of guardian angels.
There's love and jealousy, good friends, almost too reasonable parents but they were supportive and did show a bit of protectiveness. Sterli...more

Cloud Nine is a YA Paranormal Romance and the first book in the The Guardian of Man series written by Melissa A. Smith. I read this as a R2R with The Knights of the Round Table. As always, a special thank you to the mods and author for allowing me to participate.

Cloud Nine deals with the growing relationship between a teenaged girl and her self-appointed spirit guardian, and the many situations she faces as she tries to synch him up into her typical teenager life. These implicit complications include her friends, family and a former boyfriend. Definetively a fine romance to read.
The author seems to possess a keen knowledge of the teen mind, which makes her able to create credible teenagers, quite a difficult deed. Earlier on, the writer manages to pull...more

This book really had a lot of potential but in my opinion, it was disappointing. The love story was pretty good except it never fails to get to me just how quickly human characters will accept and fall all over a not so human person. This story touched that nerve quite a few times with claire's family and sTerlings family. I could get over that, though. What I could not get over the fact that the author built up some good suspense only to let it dwindle and fail by just glossing over it instead...more
I cannot sum up this book better than what is already said by the synopsis, so all I can do is offer my humble opinion of the story. It's amazing. The whole concept of this specific guardian form was something that I had to get used to, but once Sterling took on a human form.. it was much easier to adjust.
The characters are great. Claire is your typical teenager in the way that she has a typical teenage voice - a little confusing and erratic and sometimes all out irrational, but it is exactly wh...more

My Review:
Come back to where it all began ♥ Silver Lining is a novella on how two of my favorite characters, Argento and Ari fell in love. It's a fun and interesting look into the beginning of a deliciously tender relationship that I have come to adore. Although Ari seems to be right on que where her charge is concerned, she may need a few pointers when it comes to the love of her life....her mate. A girl can only play hard to get for so long!! ;)
Argento is more then patient while waiting for Ar...more

I loved this book. Refreshing, entertaining and excellent.
I don't understand all these 5-star reviews. It's not a bad premise but it just seems like a first try at writing without any edits or reviews. Maybe with some fine-tuning it could be more readable and entertaining, but it's just so lacking as is. It was a waste of my money.
