When everyone's existence depends on the lies they tell, trust doesn't come easy. Ivy's neighbors have a secret. They aren't human. But Ivy has a secret, too. She knows. As long as everyone keeps quiet, she's happy working as a P.I. by day and chillaxing with her BFF Florian, a vampire, by night.When a routine pickup drops her in the middle of a murder, her two worlds collide. While Florian knows how to throw a punch, deep down he's a softie. His idea of scary? Running out of hair product. It's time Ivy faced facts. Even with a vampire on stand-by, one gal can only kick so many asses. For help, she must put her faith in others. A human, who might just be the one. A demon, who will, for a price, open the doors to her heritage. And a werewolf, who wants to protect her from herself. Torn between these men, Ivy must tread carefully, because one wants her heart, one wants her body, and one wants her dead. A sexy urban fantasy by the author of Divide and Conquer. INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR Q - What makes Guarded special? A - The characters, no doubt. Primarily, Guarded is a women's adventure playing out in a paranormal world, where figures from lore co-inhabit our mundane world. Among the shapeshifters, demons and vampires, this young woman, Ivy, slowly comes to terms with who she is. Along the way, she must solve the mystery of a statue and avoid an old foe, but these layers really mainly serve as a vehicle for her character's transformation. At a deeper level, it's the chemistry between the people that stays with you. Especially memorable is the special friendship between Ivy and her sidekick Florian. Q - How many books will complete The Silverton Chronicles series? A - Guarded was released in July 2015, and its sequel is due out in March 2016. The series will consist of at least five full-length books and a collection of short stories to tie up loose ends. Q - So, why should readers give this book a try? A - Because The Silverton Chronicles offer a fun, fast-paced adventure that will keep you guessing to the very end. Not even the romance is straight-forward. Basically, readers who enjoy quick-action plot twists and scorching-hot chemistry will get a thrill out of this novel, but be warned: it contains adult material. Q - Why do you write urban fantasy? A - Because it's the genre I grew up on. Many books for children feature magic and supernatural elements, and play out in our neighborhoods. My novel is a spicy, grown-up version of that. In fact, many readers who've never considered urban fantasy or paranormal romance find Guarded the perfect introduction, since it's primarily about real people in the (almost) real world. Thanks for reading!

Fast paced fun that will keep you guessing By Nicole-Books N Pearls My Review: 4 stars: A fun story that will keep you guessingA sort of summary of events: This story is about Ivy, who thinks she is just a human private investigator. However, when she turns 25, things start to change, and she discovers she has been protected from the truth. She has the ability to identify creatures of the multiple species of kin. She had been held captive in Alethia (the magical otherworld where some pretty bad creatures live), and it has haunted her since her escape. The more she uncovers about her heritage, the crazier the story becomes. There are so many paranormal creatures in the story; vampires, werewolves, fae, demons, among several others. It's hard to give much more detail without giving things away, but following Ivy on her journey of self discovery is a trip that is fun to take. It is laced with some humorous moments, a bit of suspense, and quite intriguing magical elements.My thoughts: The plot is pretty complex. This isn't a story I could quickly breeze through at first as I was trying to get my bearings on all the different creatures and figure out the story. There are a few layers to the plot, and even though it all comes together, it takes some time to get a handle on what was going on. The men are pretty tasty, and there are a few steamy scenes thrown in. Because Ivy has several suitors, you flip flop on who you want her to end up with, but the end is satisfying. It felt a little rushed at the end. It could have used a few smoother transitions or markers to explain how much time passed between events. The pace of the story makes you feel like it takes place within only two or three days, even though that isn't the case. I had some difficulty at the beginning sorting out who all the players were because there are so many to keep track of. But I was glad I made the effort to continue on. The twists the story makes will keep you guessing until the very end. There are some moments, especially when Ivy starts acting like a wolf, that will make you laugh.Who this will appeal to: Fans of Sherrilyn Kenyon will probably enjoy this book. The layers to the plot, the complexity of the story, and the variety of preternatural creatures will appeal to many paranormal romance fans.I received a copy of this story in exchange for an honest review.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Enjoyable even if predictable. By Amazon Customer "Guarded" by: Carmen FoxFirst of all I want to say that I really loved the cover of this book. I liked the simplistic lines and bright colors. It was a significant reason for me choosing this book to read.This storyline is not necessarily an "off the beaten path" tale but does incorporate a multitude of paranormal characters and an intertwining plot that keeps you intrigued and interested until the end of the story. A 25 year old female Private Investigator that has been raised as a "normal" child is finding out that her real roots are grounded in a multi-cultural background and as such is struggling with her newfound "powers"!Yeah...being desired by almost every male in a half mile area could definitely be a "struggle"!Even though raised as a "normal", Ivy had just recently escaped after being kidnapped by a powerful "kin" demon. A nasty little bugger that taught her (under duress) to make "guards" for paranormals to use as protective devices. He knew at 25 she would come into her real powers and wanted to keep her in Althea to combine her powers with his so he might gain majority control of his world. Ivy thwarted that plan by escaping to the "old world" before her maturity (and powers) kicked in but Lantham still haunts her dreams and seems to have a direct though weak connection to her mind. He will try anything to get her back to his realm.Of course, there is a best friend, a hunky neighbor and another "potty mouth" hunky mentor that set the main stage for her dilemma. A simple case of retrieving an artifact for her boss turns out to be a major case of "foul" intentions of which she finds herself front and center in both the cause and the solution. Clues build around her bringing the different cases to a single "dangerous" assignment.Ivy is your typical "don't tell me what to do" female that finds herself in some dangerous situations and begins to understand the significance of real "connection" with a mate instead of hot unbridled lust and passion. HMMMM...both would be nice! Not only does she have syncubus powers but throw in some demon, slynth and who knows what else and you can understand her struggle to adjust!I found this easy to read but thought Ivy's multicolored background a little much. I could do with just one or two genetic features to keep tract of instead of 3 or 4. There were a couple "aha" moments in the story which is always a delight for me. Being able to strategically reveal a clue before the reader picks up on it is a great feat.I would say pick this up and enjoy the passionate scenes then yearn and watch for the romance....I feel that is the purpose here.Jeanie GI give this 3 1/2 Stars
12 of 15 people found the following review helpful. The accidental PI By Thumper12 I was prepared to like the book from the reviews, it was okay. Our heroine seems more to stumble into information than to investigate and find information. Need to know about a statue, ask the next door neighbor and poof information gathered.I didn't understand that this was a "romance" novel. With that we get some of the genre standards; heroine with raging hormones can't think straight, stubborn female acts out to avoid the protectiveness of males just to need saving.Interesting characters and premise pulled down by stock romance elements. Just once I'd like to see a romance heroine able to function before the earth shattering orgasms from the soul mate.
