Jude Shea's life is turned upside down when he rescues a dog he names Joe. Even though Jude has enough trouble taking care of himself-he doesn't even have a job-he can't resist the animal that needs him. Then one night, a man shows up on his doorstep looking to claim Jude's new companion. As they run from a surprise attack, Jude finds out that "Joe" is not what he seems. Eoin Thral is a guardian from an alternate dimension, and once he leads Jude through the veil that separates their worlds, he transforms into a handsome hulk of a man known for his fighting skills, not the capacity for love. Jude finds himself immersed in Eoin's world, and he's faced with the fight of his life to secure a happy future for them both.This was super fun to read! I loved how a guardian is a shapeshifter. A dog and a man. Jude is a fun character that I really enjoyed. I liked how strong he was. He's so strong and even when he lacks confidence, he doesn't let people mistreat him. I really respect that about him. I also loved how brave he was even in the face of a strange place and the chance that he might not make it back to his home. I know some people like to criticize the idea of a "mystical" mate but I don't see the difference between that idea and the idea of soulmates. I just love the idea of there being some one (or more than one) person for everyone. I feel like there should be a heart felt connection between people. Jude and Eoin have that for sure. There is a soul deep connection that they both feel and respect. I love it. I really hope that you'll give this book a try. It has everything: action, adventure, drama and romance. What a great read!
