Phoenix: Guardian Security Shadow World

I really liked this book and can see me reading it again. Phoenix and Aspen make such a cute couple. They had been talking to each other on the phone for a while when the Siege happened. He found her even though as one of the Guardian operators, he’s not supposed to know her identity. This book has a ton of actions and when it was calm, it was still exciting as we were learning about the bad guys. They are sweet together and have several tender moments. Phoenix is such a bada*s and confident in his ability. I knew nothing would go wrong with Aspen on his watch and if it did, he’d fix it right away. She is no slouch either. She’s very strong and doesn’t get upset by too much, especially his profession. It’s very refreshing. The plot was very interesting with 2 different mobsters fighting against each other, Phoenix and Aspen going under cover and the search on who supplied the weapons for the Siege. It kept me hooked and reading every word to make sure I didn’t miss anything. We also get a glimpse of Valkyrie and now I can’t wait to read her book. This is a must read. So good!

Kris Michaels you never cease to amaze me with your characters and stories. Each one gets better and better. Phoenix and Aspen were terrific. Their story was definitely worth the wait. The intrigue, suspense and romance had me reading this in one day. Couldn’t put the book down. Loved how Guardians are rebuilding and so enjoyed the message this is sending to their enemies. I can see so many adventures in the future. Another 5+ stars. I can’t wait to read Valkyrie, as well as future books.

Good read but was ended too abruptly. Needed a little more action. The message should have been shared. I loved hearing about the others.

Kris Michaels has done it again! I have read this entire series. Several times! Its a true favorite! She has great characters, fantastic story lines. Believable scenarios. This side of Guardian, The Shadows, are truly needed in this world to give hope to the masses that things will get better. I hope to continue reading books of this Caliber for a long time to come. Thank you Ms. Michaels for doing what you do and making my everyday life just a little more interesting.

Kris sure knows how to bring her characters to life & sucking you into her Guardian world! I just fell in love with Phoenix & Aspen when a part of their story came out in another previous Kris Michaels book called The Siege when Phoenix rescued Aspen & lost track of her whereabouts I always wondered what happened & am grateful their story was revealed in this book. Aspen is just a badass, strong minded woman with an incredible gifted brain & so much compassion for others around her. And Phoenix's story just broke my heart of all he endured as a young child & suffered through as an adult. Overall this book is another great read & well written. And I'd suggest if this is your 1st time reading Kris's book go check out her website to see her reading order for Guardian Series it helps reading her books in that order. Off to get the next book on that list & start reading it next.

Phoenix and Aspen have been talking on the phone for awhile now. She was his savior. When she was injured in the attack, he got her out but she disappeared. Phoenix has been reunited with Aspen and they have figured out that their uncles are behind some kind of take over. Who will win is anyone's guess. Neither, if Guardian has their way.

Operator 274 persona is revealed and insight to the Shadow operative known as Phoenix. Aspen has a resolve and strength to her that is necessary to confront the evils that attempt to destroy her. Her touchstone and rock in a storm is Phoenix. Their relationship evolves as they, along with Guardian, execute plans to being down the scumbags who attacked Guardian in the Seige. With brief glimpses into the well being and activities of our beloved Kings and Shadows. And there is a goodbye to someone the Shadows hold dear. That you will need a hankie. Suspenseful story and heartwarming, too. Kris Michaels has gifted us with another exciting adventure into Guardian & Guardian Security Shadow World.

Phoenix has risen again after saving Operator 247 from the ashes of Guardian's DC office. She is his anchor and he needs her. She needs him as he has also become her anchor. They come from similar paths only they didn't know that until "The Siege" happened and Aspen disappeared. Secrets are revealed and they will have to fight their families as they work toward a new future together. They prepared for this fight their whole lives. The enemy comes from within. Only the strong will survive. Phoenix is one of the darker assassins and now we know why. He was created by evil and Guardian saved him. Now, we will stop at nothing to destroy those that made him the assassin that he is. These same people will also try to destroy Aspen, better known as Operator 247. Ms. Michaels has done it again. Yes, Pheonix is a bit darker than some of the other Shadowes. Phoenix touched my heart though. Ms. Michaels has a way of doing that. Her characters may be dark but they are so much more than their jobs. Aspen, or Operator 247 as she is also known, is amazing and her memory is staggering, but above all, she has risen above her family to become a Guardian. More than enough twists, turns, and rabbit holes to keep me glued to the pages. Phoenix and Aspen are amazing characters and well I can't wait to read about the next Shadow.
