If you loved The Notebook and Safe Haven by none other than Nicholas Sparks, then keep reading.

While I do prefer reading actual print, it is usually easier to read on my first generation Kindle. I don't have to lug around books in my purse and it is so slim that it even fits in my back pocket.

This past weekend I have finished reading Nicholas Sparks, "The Guardian". I saw the paperback version while I was at Target and it looked really interesting; as all Nicholas Sparks books do!

The book is about a woman named Julie; she lives in a small town in North Carolina, Swansboro. Her husband, Jim has died of brain cancer and she is just trying to get through life with her dog named Singer that her late husband surprised her with on Christmas Eve after he passed. He wrote her the sweetest letter about why he had given her the dog and that is where the story begins.

After some years she is finally ready to date and after some truly terrible ones, she meets Richard. He is charismatic, good looking, friendly and wealthy. She goes on  a couple dates with him but there is no real spark between them.

She then starts taking an interest in her best friend Mike who was also her husbands best friend. Julie then asks him out on a date and they really hit it off. She is so comfortable with him and hes been in love with her for many years.

While she goes out on her first date with Mike, however, she is still seeing Richard. When he comes back from his emergency trip, she tells him it's over and that she is now seeing Mike. Needless to say he flips out on her.

He acts like everything is OK at first, but then he becomes obsessed with her! He starts stalking her and thinks of evil ways to hurt Mike.

I wont say anymore because i don't not want to give the whole book away but its a thriller; you wont be able to set it down.

I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants an easy and good read and whoever wants to be entertained. It's quite sad though, just to warn you.


Let me know what you think of it or if you have read it. I am always interested in what your reading and what you suggest.
