Warriors for the Light #6
Guardian
A Templar knight in a past life, Nicholas de Beaufort has no desire to inhabit his former human body again. But when he's ordered to return to his human form to guard Mary Anderson, a woman with a special purpose, he has no choice. Unsure of his new mission, Nicholas is only certain of the scorching lust Mary ignites in him.
Mary needs to find the two magical emeralds that could restore harmony to the planet. But when an unexpected threat surfaces, Nicholas's mission becomes clear. He must protect the woman he can't live without--and battle the evil that could destroy the Earth.

362 books2,514 followersI've lived six lives in one and it all shows up in the books I write, one way or another.
I was always a risk taker and broke mustangs at thirteen years old in Oregon. I learn to break them with love, not threat or pain.
At 17 years old, I picked night-crawlers (worms) out in our Oregon orchards from 9pm to midnight, every night. I earned enough money to buy my school clothes and book. I also plunked down $600 to a flight company at the Medford, Oregon airport and asked them to teach me...a girl...to fly. I soloed in 12 hours, which is average. From that time until I left for the US Navy at 18, I had accrued 39 hours of flight time in my Cessna 150 single engine airplane.
I was in the US military and was an AG3 (weather forecaster). There was no airplane club, so I couldn't fly when I was in the Navy. But I could look at the clouds in the sky ;-).
Later, I flew in a B-52 bomber for a day and night mission (18 hours total), a T-38 Talon jet, USAF, where I was riding in a "chase plane" on a test flight in a Dragonfly jet.
I was one of the first AFLA (American Fencing League of America) women fencers to fence with epee and sabre. These weapons were closed to women because they were too 'heavy' for a female to handle. I said baloney and fought the males and won half my bouts. I was part of a surge of women fencers on the East Coast in the 1970's to push for equality in the sport. Together, we changed the sport and changed the mind of the men. Today? In the Olympics? Women now fence in foil, epee and sabre, thanks to what we did as a vanguard showing the world it could be done.
I then became a volunteer firefighter when I was a civilian once more, the first woman in an all - male fire department in West Point, Ohio for three years. I became a local expert not only in firefighting, driving the engine and tanker trunks, but also had training in hazardous material (Reynoldsburg Fire Academy, Columbus, OH).
My books always reflect what I experienced. If you like edgy, gritty, deeply and emotionally intense love stories with sympathetic heroes and heroines, check out my newest series that will be available mid-Oct. 2015, and it incorporates much of what I have lived.

I just could not get into this. I had no care for the characters and I found that it was way too descriptive. I still found myself very confused on what these spheres were doing and why they had to get them.

Started this last night and was wading through the sub-Da Vinci code plot-exposition-through-dialogue cut with some cod South American crystal therapy when it all seemed familiar...inside the front cover was a library loan chit from 15 Dec 2011, and I could just about make out my name.
Yes, the premise of this book [Templar knight gets reincarnated to protect woman on a quest] is so good I've borrowed it twice, but the execution is so indescribably poor that not only have I given up twice after 129 pages, I had forgotten I'd read it.
So in 129 pages we manage to get: Templar knights as Cathar heretics, the 'music of the spheres' encoded in Rosslyn Chapel, the divine feminine [which has been suppressed by heavy bad energy, the devotees of which are in conflict with the People of the Light - the Andean mystic bit], reincarnation, crystal therapy, and a whole load of execrable dialogue, written out of character, for plot exposition purposes.
If the library was open today it would be going back this morning!

I gave it a 2 star because I like the plot. Unfortunately, that was only the first half of the book. After that I tried skimming it, but even that was difficult, so I just skimmed that last two chapters.

I really loved this book and its overall appeal to love each each other, that love is the strongest force and it will win over all. I enjoyed reading it and am so glad I did read it.

Last time I read her I said never again. I broke my own rule. Wished I hadn't. Remembered that I used to really like her.

Just wasn't that into this book. Better than some of the other books in the series, but not that great a read.

I enjoyed the premise of the book. I wished there had been a little more action with all the dialog. This is in the bottom half of the books I've read by McKenna.
