3.5 Stars in my Sky!Guarded is a short and sweet intro into J.D. Rivera's Guarded Heart series. We meet downtrodden Vanessa Smith, who is finalising a divorce from her hideous soon-to-be-ex-husband. Vanessa has been lead to believe she's ugly and not worth bothering with. Enter the new hottie in town, Jackson-basketball-star-Berrios!I loved the scene where Vanessa and Jackson first meet - I'll let you discover why. In this novella we watch Jackson battle to convince her he is worth tacking a gamble on. Vanessa is convinced all men, especially rich, famous and handsome sport stars cannot be faithful.J.D. Rivera did a great job portraying Vanessa's vulnerability and her potential sass. After reading so many stories about stereotypical 'playa' sportsmen it was nice to see a guy who really wanted to get to know an ordinary woman.It'll be interesting to see where Rivera takes the series - I predict drama and misunderstandings before hope of a HEA.
