All Sam wants is to serve out his time as a guardian angel so that he can return as a human. But his sentence becomes more complicated when he finds himself falling in love with Angeline, his current assignment.

The rules of angels specify that he may not interfere with the course of her life, which naturally includes her dating choices. When Angeline begins surf lessons at the same beach where Sam is assigned to work as a lifeguard, a connection forms between them and the rules of angels collide with the laws of attraction.

Sam finds it even harder to keep his distance when he discovers Angeline’s surf instructor hides a dangerous secret. With Angeline’s life in jeopardy, the lines between his role as a lifeguard and that of guardian angel become blurred.

Sam’s choices will redefine his role as a guardian angel to Angeline and force him to contemplate what will become of their love if he is sent away. Whether they find their way back to each other is a question written in the heavens.

Malibu Angel a sweet feel good read, with added drama and tension that kept me captivated and turning the pages..
I enjoyed the authors writing style and loved the characters..
Sam a guardian Angel who's mission, to guard not just the beach he patrols but Angeline.. boy does he want to guard /protect her, to the point of failing his mission and possibly being reassigned!
With heavenly intervention can Sam save the girl or will his duty as a guardian angel mean he must watch her from afar? Read it to find out!

I would definitely recommend it.. If your a fan of Paranormal Romance and touching feel good stories then this is a book for you.

If you are looking for a light-hearted, summer beach read, this is it! Malibu Angel is a sweet romance that just makes you warm and fuzzy inside. The pace of the story was good and the writing style was uncomplicated which made for an easy, quick read.

Angeline was beautiful in her clumsiness, Sam was noble in his protectiveness, and together they just clicked. Whether you believe in guardian angels or not, this is a fun, easy read that will make your lounging time by the pool or on the beach breeze by.

This was a light, sweet read with a bit of action to keep the pages turning.

Going against the grain, against the rules because you know that it's just meant to be. Taking a chance that this is the real thing.

Angeline is a sweet, a bit naïve and clumsy, woman trying to make her way in the world.

Sam is more than what he appears and can't seem to help himself where Angeline is concerned.

I like the storyline and the characters. It's a feel good read that shows you that love can come from all places.

Sam just wants to do the rest of his time as a angel so that he can be human again. But falling in love with his assignment was not what he had planned & it was getting in the way of him completing his task.

Can he finish to be human?

Received a ARC of his book in exchange for my honest review

Not my usual genre, so I found it a bit cheesy. Overall, I enjoyed it, but I won't be looking for later books in the series. Like most romances I have read, the ending is fairly predictable from the start, but I did like the way it was done. If you're looking for something light, something sweet, this is it.

I was blessed with a free copy of this book, and have chosen of my own volition to share this review.

A fun summer, beach, read. Angeline, the female lead of this tale; is gracefully klutzy. If there is a possibility of a mishap, it will more than likely happen to this woman, which made her very easy to relate to, She is an aspiring fashion designer, who thinks that joining the surf scene could increase her visibility. Poor choices leave her in a dangerous situation. Is there anyone looking out for her?

Sam, a lifeguard and a guardian angel enters the scene. He is Angeline's guardian angel...but he is forbidden by God to have a relationship with her. Angeline and Sam fall for each other, and are separated. Sam is sent back to earth as a human with no recollection of Angeline...but true love wins!

Malibu Angel by Mia Fox is the first novel that I have read by her. This story caught my attention immediately. I love anything that has romance and a little bit of the supernatural. Unlike a majority of supernatual and paranormal novels, this one features guradian angels. The good kind of angels that watch out for us no matter what. But Mia Fox has beautifully woven several exciting twists and leaves readers wondering what will happen. The suspense of the guradian angel's assignment and the danger that looms right around this assignment creates for an edge of your seat read. Brilliantly spun together is the danger, suspense, and romance. A romance that is highly forbidden and one that make a potent lure for readers everywere.

Mia Fox's romantic suspense is a must read. A male guardian angel is given his toughest assignment yet. He has to protect a human woman. One that instantly attract him more than he likes. He needs to control his attraction for the human woman and protect her from harm that is just around the corner. There are so many what-ifs inside this suspenseful read that readers will be holding their breathe wondering what happens to the attraction between the angel and the human woman as well as what happens if he lets his desires be known for her. I loved reading this hot romantic novel. Mia Fox knows exactly what readers need and delivers just that plus more. Malibu Angel is the most intoxicating hot read that I have read yet. Readers will find their pulse speeding as the manificent plot unfolds. Readers get ready to head to the beach where duty, desire and laws are about to become blurred and heated. Overall, I highly recommend this romance to readers world wide.

Title: MALIBU ANGEL
Series: Guardian Angel #1
Category /Genre: Contemporary, Paranormal Romance
Recommended for: 18+ due to sexual content
Received from: Mia Fox (in exchange for an honest review)
Grammar/editing: A – near perfect

This is the first book in Mia Fox’s new GUARDIAN ANGELS series. Each will stand alone.

There are many kinds of angels all around us.

What kind of person runs into a fire when all others are running out? A fireman is a guardian angel to those he rescues!

What kind of person accepts a life of being around those who are sick and miserable, all with a cheery disposition? Nurses and doctors are guardian angels!

What kind of person stands in the heat of summer for eight hours-a-day enjoying the beauty that is the ocean, but only able to venture into that inviting water when affecting a rescue? Lifeguards are obviously guardian angels, too!

That’s where Sam and Evan come in. They have been placed on Malibu beach to keep the flock of tourists safe. Sam has been given a specific assignment – Angeline, a wicked-smart, but clumsy woman with the beauty of a Hallmark cherub. The only problem for him is that he has already fallen in love with her…and that’s against the G.A. rules.

I absolutely loved this quick and easy summer romance.

I have received an ARC copy of this sweet book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

It was my first book by Mia and I have to say that her writing style has compelled me from the beginning. I loved how she created her world and also her characters. They were sweet, innocent but also strong and knew want they wanted.

In here the story is about Angeline, clumsy beautiful girl, who's Guardian angel, Sam, fells in love with her. Angeline is a sweet and kind girl, who dreams about being a bikini designer. To do so, she set a goal to learn how to surf as her main swimming clothing line would serve the surfers. She falls for a playboy surfer who is playing her and causing Sam to clench his teeth with frustration, as he is not allowed to do anything.

Sam is such an amazing guy. He wants to protect Angeline and the fact that he is not able to interfere in her life (unless she is in serious danger) is killing him. So when he is only observing how the surfer is playing her, he is considering to break all the rules.

Did he break them? I will let you find out by reading this awesome book!

4,5 stars from me!

This is the first time in reading this author for me. I found it had a interesting beginning that tantalized your interest right away. Angeline seems to be having a bit of busy morning but you find out it had a few strings pulled. Sam is her guardian angel and he keeps getting warned to step back on certain things. He then ends up being a lifeguard but he is not the only angel there. He also has only so much time left till things will change for him and can he make it because oh the temptation. Angeline is trying to launch her own business surfer wear but needs to learn to surf. Now things will happen that this author will take you along on how their paths meet and the sequence of events that follow make for a sweet romance. Of course this is not all apples and cream because you have the jerk who thinks he is all that in the picture also. Interesting twist that will occur and when the finial event plays out you will get a interesting turn of events that will totally be unexpected. This was totally easy to read with a flow that keeps you cruising until the final page.

I have always loved the books that Mia Fox has written and this is no exception!!!

Malibu Angel is awesome!!! The story is sweet and the characters are amazing. Sam is a Guardian Angel - he is informed that the only way that he can return to Earth is if he does his job correctly - if he fails to do that then his role as Guardian Angel is extended.

When Sam sees Angeline on the beach, he realizes that he must do everything in his power to protect her. I don't write spoilers -- so I'm not gonna tell you what he has to protect her from, but it is an amazing story and you will find this book hard to put down once you start reading!!!

Don't know when the next book in the series will be out - but I am so looking forward to it's release!!!

I was given a copy of this book for an honest review.

This is in Mia Fox's Guardian Angels Series. Was a quick read and a fantasy. A Guardian angel falls for his human and has a struggle to end. When he passes his angel status he will become human again. Is not good at obeying the rules. Will he pass and become human again and find the human he loves? Read And find out. Thanx to Goodreads for giving away such goodreads.

I voluntarily reviewed this book.
Sam is a guardian angel tasked with watching over Angeline until he breaks the rules and falls in love with her. I was hooked by the story from page 1 and didn't stop reading until I finished the book. I loved the connection between Sam and Angeline. I laughed, cried, and wanted to scream at parts of the book. This is a definite must read!
