Original post: [...]I received a copy courtesy of Carina Press, Ruth Casie and Netgalley for my honest opinion.ReviewAuthor Ruth Casie did a nice job writing this book.My favorite thing about The Guardian's Witch was Heroine Lisbeth Reynolds, who is rumored to be a witch- a witch that I grew fond of. I really liked her intentions and life decisions. I suppose the accusation of witchcraft made me feel obligated to protect her. I also like England as its setting.To be honest, I almost stopped reading this book because of the slow start. I believe that the romance started too late.Other than that, it was lovely.DescriptionEngland, 1290Lord Alex Stelton can't resist a challenge, especially one with a prize like this: protect a castle on the Scottish border for a year, and it's his. Desperate for land of his own, he'll do anything to win the estate--even enter a proxy marriage to Lady Lisbeth Reynolds, the rumored witch who lives there.Feared and scorned for her second sight, Lisbeth swore she'd never marry, but she is drawn to the handsome, confident Alex. She sees great love with him but fears what he would think of her gift and her visions of a traitor in their midst.Despite his own vow never to fall in love, Alex can't get the alluring Lisbeth out of his mind and is driven to protect her when attacks begin on the border. But as her visions of danger intensify, Lisbeth knows it is she who must protect him. Realizing they'll secure their future only by facing the threat together, she must choose between keeping her magic a secret and losing the man she loves.71,000 words
