THE
GUARDIAN'S HEART
By
Michel Prince
BLURB:
Case
Thomas is always in control whether its on the basketball court, the lab where
he works, or in his love life. He thinks he has everything all figured out. All
that changes when his parents pass away during his last year of college and
Case is thrown into fatherhood when he becomes temporary guardian to two
adorable twin toddlers. Weeks later, exhausted and running out of time, Case
must decide if he's ready to become a father to these children, or give them up
and move on with what's left of his life. Then he meets Gabbie Vaulst.Gabbie is amazing with the kids, owns her own business, and has all the right curves in all the right places. She can tell Case is attracted to her, but does he really love her or is he just settling for a surrogate Mom who can wrangle his new kids? Knowing that she's falling in love with him, she chooses to push him away until his world straightens out. Can Case prove to Gabbie, and himself, that his feelings are real? Or is this sudden family too much for both of them to handle?
The odds, as well as members of their past who've come out of the woodwork, are against them, but when kids are involved, all bets are off.
REVIEW:
This story was very emotional, and kept my attention riveted to my kindle.
Case was a joy to read, It was so heartwarming to read and recognize his feelings for those sweet little twins. I loved how he struggled but didnt give up. I admire how strong Case is.
Gabbie's character was very likable as well. I also admired her streangth, she has been through alot, and struggle with insecurites. Gabbie always keeps her faith, and brings out the best of anyone she is around.
I loved her interaction with the twins, and was grateful that they also had her in their life. The romance was sweet, believable, and tugged at the heart strings. This book was very gratifying, and it was apparent that the author clearly cared for these characters. I would definietly recommend this to anyone who enjoys a sweet heartwarming romance.

Excerpt:
“My preddies
no more,” Claire cried as Gabbie put on latex free gloves and started to clean
Claire’s injured knee.
The fact
she’d hurt herself was not the reason Claire was crying. She had torn her
tights or “pretties” as she liked to call them. Claire cherished every one of
her pretties. Gabbie had learned Claire was very much a girl, something Gabbie
never was. Gabbie never cared about dresses or sparkly shoes when she was
growing up, but to Claire they were a necessity.
As Gabbie
pulled down Claire’s soft pink tights with the lacy backs, Claire looked as if
she was being skinned alive. Whatever pain she felt from her scraped knee could
have been as great as an amputation, she’d never acknowledge it compared to
losing a set a tights to a hole in the knee.
“Mama inks my
bess,” Claire sobbed as if she was just shot through the heart with an arrow.
“You still
have your white and your blue and your orange pretties and don’t forget your
ones with the little flowers on them.”
“I’s never
gets better preddies…” she declared with all the melodrama befitting Scarlett
O’Hara declaring her love for Tara.
“These
pretties were almost too small for you, you’ve been growing so much. How about
this?” Gabbie suggested, trying to hold back from laughing in the poor child’s
face. To Claire this was life or death. “Your daddy and I will pick you up a
new pair on the way home and maybe some big girl underwear since you’ve been
doing so good on the potty. These pretties were made for little girls that wear
diapers.”
Claire’s eyes
perked up. She started to smile, but only briefly, holding the now-torn tights
to her heart as she stood up and stuck her chest out.
