Charlotte’s dad was just murdered. Now she’s on the run because the killer is after her and the information she knows about the top secret government program called Guardian. She runs into Jake while passing through his family farm and decides it might be the perfect place to hide out for a while.

Although this is not my favorite book in the Guardian series, I thoroughly enjoyed my time reading it. I was surprised by how quickly the action started with Charlotte’s dad immediately being murdered and her needing to run away. I loved the part with her trying to lose the people following her and how she used multiple modes of transportation: car, horse, train, taxi, and horse again. I also loved the connection with her showing up on Jake’s land wearing reenactment clothes and how he thought it seemed like she fell out of a book he was writing. The drama with Jake’s sister was great and the connection that Charlotte developed with Jake’s grandma was really sweet. As for the suspense situation, what more could you ask for?
