Book Description

September 16, 2011
The powerful and imposing Xander/Darcy, chief of all guardian angels, has protected exceptional humans from demonic forces over the course of ten millennia without losing a single battle. In 1989, he receives an unusual assignment which will forever change his ordered existence and alter the course of human history. Will he lose the battle for his own heart while guarding supernaturally gifted Elizabeth Bennet from the evil which surrounds her? Will he be strong enough to resist her as she grows from a precocious child into a beautiful, intelligent woman? The veil dividing the physical and spiritual planes is drawn aside to reveal warfare on an unprecedented scale as Elizabeth develops her gifts and her guardian discovers his emotions.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Oh. My. Word. This was not what I had expected! This is an amazing story; I was fascinated to see how the spiritual world might be at work around us. It's interesting to see the spiritual warfare that goes on in a person's life unseen by human eyes." Candy Morton - Indie Jane

"What an awe-inspiring and uplifting novel! It is hard for me to decide which I loved more: the Christian inspiration and faith that is reverently portrayed in this novel or the achingly beautiful romance!" - Meredith Esparza, Austensque Reviews

"An inspiring Pride and Prejudice adaptation, Guardian is a moving story with a perfect balance of depth and humor." - Jakki Leatherberry, Leatherbound Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally Unique and Feel Good story September 16, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
This bird's eye view of guardian angels and their interactions with each other, their human charges, and the fallen angels will bring a smile to your face and a lift to your heart. Throw in an appreciation for the Pride & Prejudice characters, and you have a truly great read for a rainy weekend!

And this is no lightweight bit of fluff. It is intelligently written with style and a flair for realism that makes you feel part of what is happening.

Everything about this story appealed to me and to others I have recommended it to. It's amazing to me that this is the author's first story! Beginner's luck? I don't think so. I think we're going to see a lot more from her - for that I am very grateful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Story! September 24, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a wonderful story that combines the real world with the spiritual world. The Guardian series is an inspiration to all. I've learned a lot from reading this unique twist on the beloved Pride and Prejudice tale. I enjoyed watching Xander/Darcy guard Elizabeth from the evils of the world and falling in love in the process. I can't wait to see what Robin has in store for the heroic Darcy and lovely Elizabeth.

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Robin Helm has a great knowledge of the Bible and uses it to craft this unique story of a guardian angel who falls in love with his charge. If you want to read something totally out of the box in regards to Pride and Prejudice, this story is for you. I hope to read many more books by this gifted lady.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pride and Prejudice and Heavenly Beings April 3, 2012
Format:Paperback
Once again, Jane Austen's beloved masterpiece is being infiltrated with supernatural beings...although this time instead of violent, un-dead zombies or blood-sucking vampires, Jane Austen's characters are intermingling with guardian angels and heavenly hosts. Setting her story in Spartanburg, South Carolina in the year 1989, author Robin Helm begins The Guardian Trilogy by introducing readers to Xander (Darcy), Chief of all Guardian Angels, as he receives his new and mystifying assignment of protecting the soon-to-be-born Elizabeth Bennet. After spending millenniums as the guardian of countless important and influential people in history, Xander doesn't understand God's purpose in sending him to guard this baby from an unknown and seemingly ordinary family. But God has special designs for Elizabeth Bennet and these plans include his chief guardian angel Xander...

Those who believe, know that a guardian angel is appointed to every follower of Christ. These angels protect their charges from harm and shield them from attacks by Satan and his demons. In this series, angels can read minds and transform into humans if needed- strikingly beautiful and physically perfect humans. They have supernatural physical strength and of course, they can fly. But one thing they don't experience are human emotions like love, anger, jealousy, and pride. While they have the capacity, angels don't always have the impetus to experience these feelings.

What an awe-inspiring and uplifting novel! It is hard for me to decide which I loved more: the Christian inspiration and faith that is reverently portrayed in this novel or the achingly beautiful romance!

5.0 out of 5 stars I'd give it 6-stars if I could! September 13, 2011
By Wendi
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Once you begin reading, you will not want to put this down! Here, Robin Helm shares with us a beautifully penned story with a highly original theme. Her writing is intense and engaging; one feels as if one is a part of every scene.

Though the story is crafted using religion as a base, one does not have to be religious to appreciate it. Guardian is written keeping EVERY type of reader in mind, and anyone can -- and will -- enjoy it.

I am so glad that there will be a series based on this idea, and I am very much looking forward to the next!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring... August 12, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Who would have thought to use Scripture and Jane Austen's P&P to create an enthralling story?

Well, author Robin Helm did a wonderful job introducing Xander/Darcy and Elizabeth in the first book of her inspiring trilogy.

I read this book and Soulfire in less than a day and I love them both.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read! August 12, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Guardian. Mrs. Helm's tale of spiritual warfare and romance kept me on the edge of my seat. The entire series is wonderful. My only complaint is that it is really hard to get anything else done when reading these books-I don't want to put them down...no matter how many times I've read them. I look forward to reading more of her books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye-opening August 12, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Guardian truly opened my eyes and mind to the way God takes care of us using angels. Robin Helm writes fiction using the Holy Bible as a guide. Therefore, the story is based upon God's truth. It gave me a whole new perspective on God's love for us and how He continually protects us. The story is action-filled, romance-filled and evokes all emotions! This first book in the trilogy is a winner!!
