Book Description:
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Nights in Rodanthe explores a darker realm of the heart in an explosive and emotional tale of love and obsession. At 29, Julie Barenson is too young to give up on love. Four years after her husband's tragic death, she is finally ready to risk giving her heart to someone again. But to whom? Should it be Richard Franklin, who is handsome and sophisticated and treats her like a queen, or Mike Harris, who is Julie's best friend in the world, though not as debonair? Now, with a decision that should bring her more happiness than she's had in years, Julie's life is about to become a living nightmare, as one man's jealousy spins into a deadly obsession.

This book started out kind of slow for me, but I stuck with it and ended up not being able to put it down half way through. It is a good long book that surprised me in the end. I enjoyed the story line, it was very different than any other Nicholas Sparks books that I have read. It is also a good book for dog lovers.

I love Nicholas Sparks! The Guardian was actually my least favorite of his books, but I still loved it. It made me want to go out and get a Great Dane after reading it. Hahaha.

This book was so predictable I couldn't take it. I only finished it because I promised myself I would.

This was a great story...and the pet element with the dog named Singer was an added bonus if you are a dog lover.

This was the first Nicholas Sparks book I read and it was wonderful!!!!!!! This book alone has made me go on to read many more of his books and see the movies associated with his books. Of course the books are ALWAYS better. However, I can't wait to see if this book gets turned into a film. I have to say that so far out of all of the books I've read from this author, this one has got to be his best by far. Not only does it have the traditional romance/love/tragedy/story, it also has mystery and suspense. It's a must read.!!!!!!!
