His to Shelter (The Guard Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Em Petrova (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 516 ratings

Her life might be in his hands, but he’ll never get another shot at her heart…

Retired NAVY SEAL Oswald Morgon’s team means the world to him. But his heart has always belonged to the woman he left behind eighteen years ago. So, when she’s in danger, he’ll do whatever it takes to save her. She’s too good for him by far. He knows that. Knowing, however, does not make it any easier to keep his mind (and hands) off her…

JAG Corps Officer Rose Kilbourn is no stranger to making enemies. Still, she never thought she’d get kidnapped for doing her job. She also never expected Oz to rescue her. He’d been her first love, but that was before he was deployed and never looked back. Now, he’s as sexy as ever. Whether or not he can be trusted—with her heart and her biggest secret—is another matter entirely…

Oz and Rose could embrace their second chance at happily ever after. But only if they can stay alive that long…

If you love steam rising off your Kindle, page-turning action and secrets, then HIS TO SHELTER is for you! 1-CLICK now and then BINGE the entire series!

    What a start to a new series! Oz started The Guard when he finished serving in the military. The group works to protect people and the members are all highly trained. Oz gets a blast from the past when hi old CO calls and tells him his daughter has been kidnapped. Rose and Oz had a night of passion 18 years ago and disappeared from her life. She is now a very successful JAG Officer. The two have never forgotten the other and Oz pulls out all the resources he has to locate and rescue her but she is still in danger from someone. There are lots of secrets, action, suspense, and steam. I loved that Rose is a headstrong woman and Oz loves it too.

    I received a complimentary copy of this book and I also purchased a copy.

    This is the first book in a new series. The series revolves around a group of men and women called The Guardians. It starts slow as it is laying the foundation for the series. I was a little confused in the beginning and trying to keep it all straight as this is a much different type group of alpha former military type of heroes. How they operate is totally different from anything that I have read before.

    Oswald “Oz” Morgon is a former Navy SEAL. He founded The Guardians and they work out of a church. Yes, a church. That really threw me. They also call him "Father" as he is the founder. That just took some getting used too. He receives a call from his former CO that he daughter is missing. Rose Kilbourn, is a JAG officer and his one-night stand eighteen years ago. Oz locates Rose before she is loaded onto a ship bound for a life of unknown.

    The book does pick up after Oz get the call about Rose. I was then entrenched in the story. Rose has a secret that she wants to tell Oz but doesn't. Oz is keeping secrets as well. His life is far from ordinary and he and his group live and operate in the shadows.

    I loved getting a glimpse into the characters' mind to see what they were going through in the different scenes. Having a dual POV format really helps me to connect to the characters.

    If you love a second chance romance between an alpha ex-military male protagonist and a strong female, then you may want to give this a try. This author writes spicy stories so I can only recommend this to someone over the age of 18 as it may offend some.

    I have such high respect for Rose in this book. She is the perfect mix of strong and vulnerable. There are times in this book that she should/could have wilted but she didn't. She stayed strong even though she was scared and fought. Not only for herself but for her sons also. I loved that she was portrayed as smart also, that she can be a real asset.

    Oz was a character that right at the beginning, I really didn't care for. He was so cold and argumentative with his team that I just wondering if I would be able to root for this man. The part that made me think this was the flashback to his one night with Rose years ago and how cold he was to her after. However, I am very glad that I kept reading because I not only grew to like this man, but think him book boyfriend worthy. I know that I just need to trust this author, she won't steer me wrong.

    All I can say is WOW!!! The first book of author Em Petrova's The Guard series proved to be an epic read! I devoured this book in a single sitting. The book contained everything that I require in a phenomenal read- vivid detail, sizzling suspence, never ending drama, and romantic longing and angst. The chemistry between Oz and Rose was certifiably palpable! Even the cast of secondary characters was so well developed. All have a mysterious and rich background. I can't wait for each man to receive their own book so that we, the reader, can get to know each of them better.

    Currently we live in a time where a virus is running rampant throughout the world, bringing much uncertainty to all. One thing that I know with 1,0000% certainty is that this series is an absolute MUST-READ!!! 1-click buy this book today and you will be magically transported away from your current reality into a world of intrigue and romance. You will NOT be sorry that you did!

    I loved the overall story. So glad there were not tedious flashbacks given that this is a second chance romance. Loved the relationships. The only thing that detracts from this being a 4 is the whole Church/Father/Congregation stuff. It came off as a cult and was a real turn-off.

    First off I enjoyed the concept of The Guarda and Church but I wished we had more of a backstory of who is who in the Guard. We are given a few names Oz who is the male lead and the man who started the Guard. Roman his Deacon or second in command, Lars, North, Madeleine, Frisco, Gilly and Archer. The Guard is a group of retired military/bodyguards/full tactical agents serving the greater good at all costs.
    Second this is a second chance Romance Oz male lead and Rose the female lead had one steamy night eighteen years ago but they both fell in love, he walked away be was being a Navy SEALs. Rose was young and still had her life ahead of her. Now eighteen years later, Rose needs to be rescued and Oz and his team of clergyman will be the one to save her. The author has 2 different backstories happening at once. I kinda of wished Lars story was pushed to the side or was in the epilogue. The two different missions at the same time were confusing at least for me.
    Third I enjoyed the characters and the main storyline that I can't wait to read the next story in the series. Happy Reading!!

    This is a great story. It probably has some truth in it as well. I can imagine a great group of people in a group like this. Rose is in JAG trying to defend her client, but her research has put her in danger. Oz is sent to rescue her by her father. Oz is an amazing character.

    This story has it all!! Action, danger, adventure, history, secrets, heat, lust, fantastic characters and a gripping and compelling story line!! Oz comes across as strict and on the cooler side but that's what he has to be to get the job done and protect his "family". Rose will bring out his softer side. She is sassy, strong and intelligent and will give him a run for his money! Such a good read!

    Didn’t love it but dint hate it. Characters were okay but the instant connection after 18 years was too quick without explanation. Not sure I’ll pursue this series as struggled to engage completely in the story.
