#Giveaway: 2 Copies of Meljean Brook’s Guardian Series
I’ve always been fascinated by Meljean Brook’s path to publication. I had read her blog for at least a year (if not longer) before she published. Meljean has a quirky, funny, self deprecating voice on her blog but to my surprise that’s not what her books ended up sounding like. They were lush, erotic, challenging stories that were writ on a grand scale.
Here we are at the conclusion of the Guardian series. Through this series we’ve seen angels fall, vampires created, and demons fall in love. We’ve waited for a long time for the conclusion of how Michael, the leader of the Guardians, will reclaim his soul from hell and finally close the gates that Lucifer and others want open between the otherworlds and earth.
I saw on Goodreads, one reader post a picture in anticipation of the final book with the words “Come to me.” She took it down but it was a squirrel with outstretched arms. It perfectly captured my feelings as well.
When I sat down to read it, I had some sense of foreboding. So much build up, how could it ever deliver? But it did, in spades. What was strange was although this was a really long book (over 200,000 words, I think) it didn’t feel long and at the last page, I felt like I could have read another 100,000 words. I wasn’t ready to leave this world and all the beings I had come to care about.
The problem with introducing new readers to this series is that it takes an investment of time and money. We can’t give you time, but we can ameliorate the money aspect in two ways. First, Meljean has a “Story So Far” primer which provides a summary of events in each book. (I love this and wish other authors would do this) You can read the summaries and then buy Book 8, Guardian Demon, when it releases next week. Or, you can enter to win the contest for the entire backlist, signed by Meljean Brook. Or you can do both.
Is this a book I’d recommend you read? Yes, but not without having read the primer first. Or set aside some time to read the entire series. I wouldn’t jump into Guardian Demon without having read something about the events leading up to it because even though Meljean does a fair job of providing backstory, it really is the conclusion to a long standing series.

While I’ve enjoyed the Iron Sea series, I haven’t read any of the Guardian series. But I’d love to. ; )
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:10:06
I have never read the Guardian series, but I adore her Iron Seas series. I would love to start reading this one!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:11:27
LUV HER. I try to bully all my friends into reading her books. MUahahahaahaa
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:13:31
I’ve gobbled up every single Iron Seas book but I haven’t yet read the Guardian books because…well, I don’t know why. I think because I love the IS books so much and I wasn’t sure that I could do a subgenre hop. Given all the praise I’ve seen of late, though, I clearly need to read them.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:14:20
This is series is on my to-read list!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:16:40
I haven’t read any of her stuff before but I keep hearing about how I should. This looks like a good place to start!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:17:07
I love the Iron Seas series but somehow haven’t read any of the Guardian books. Maybe it’s time to remedy that.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:17:16
I read The Iron Duke last year and wasn’t instantly blown away but liked it well enough to try the second in the series, Heart of Steel, which did blow me away and I decided to read everything by her. I read the Guardian series this spring. If I had done my research I might have waited since being forced to wait for the final piece after glomming the others in a short time.
I like some of the books much more than others, depending mostly on how much I enjoy the main couple. But Michael has been a favourite since the beginning so I’m eagerly waiting his book. FINALLY!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:27:24
It’ll finally come out? Oh, it’s such a good summer – we get new Kate Daniels and the final Guardians and in autumn a new Elantra book. I love series that deliver! I hope there’ll be a new World of the Lupi book this year as well.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:28:31
I love the Guardians series and can’t wait for Guardian Demon (it will be at the top of my TBR pile next week).
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:28:49
Ever since reading and loving Sharon Shinn’s Archangel series, I’ve wanted to find more really good angel books. I’m still searching.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:33:02
I love the Iron Seas series but haven’t read the Guardian books yet, partly because of the series length and partly because of the cost. My book budget has been cut to the bare minimum…sob! I would love to read this series.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:33:20
I have been wanting to read this series. Thanks for the chance to win.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:36:10
I like her characters
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:38:13
I love the world building. It’s complete and well thought out.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:38:15
This is such a great giveaway opportunity, I’ve been trying to collect the Guardians backlog for quite some time.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:43:21
This is my favorite series of all time and I am not the gushing fangirl type.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:43:55
I have read some of this series and would love to catch up with those I missed.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:48:38
I love how complex this series is. I think Demon Marked (book 7) is a great entry book to the series if you haven’t read any of the others. I’d actually encourage people new to the series to start with that book or book 2, Demon Moon, before reading the first book, as it’s not the easiest entry point.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:51:48
Cannot wait for this book! Have already read the other books in the series, but it’s been a while so I’m thankful for the primer as my memory isn’t what it used to be.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:52:58
I haven’t had a chance to read this series, but it sounds very interesting!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:54:13
I haven’t had the chance to read Meljean Brook yet. I have on my kindle a novella from the Iron Seas series but I keep telling myself that I won’t start on the series until I have all the books that are out so far. I tell myself the same thing about this series but I keep waiting for either the books to go on discount or to win them in giveaways. I haven’t really read about angels so I would be really interested in reading this series.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:54:53
I’ve enjoyed the Iron Seas books of hers I have read very much. I was interested in the Guardian series but was a little daunted by the amount of reading involved to “catch up.” It’s nice to hear that it’s well reviewed and recommended.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:55:34
I love this series so far! I’ve read most of the novellas along with Demon Angel and Demon Marked. Right now, I’m working on Demon Night. I’d love to win the entire set since all of my reading has been of borrowed copies thus far, with the exception of Demon Angel and the novella in Must Love Hellhounds.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:55:51
The second paragraph of this post is why I want to read this series…sounds epically good! Also I’ve heard great things about the author…thanks for the chance to win copies of this series!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:58:23
I have never read this author, but I know she gets great reviews.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 10:59:30
I love series with well done world building. I am adding this one to my wish list.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 11:07:12
I didn’t even know about this series but it sounds amazing – I love the Iton Seas!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 11:14:12
I love Meljean’s voice. Her Iron Seas series has me fascinated. However, I confess that, even though I love “Falling for Anthony” (the short story prequel to the Guardian series), I found it very difficult to get into Demon Angel. I want to recapture my enthusiasm for this series, and you guys make it so very tempting.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 11:16:20
*crosses fingers* I love Meljean’s voice, too. The Guardian series I always thought looked very intimidating. Now that it’s complete, I’ll have to pick it up. If I can get it for free, all the better! :D
Jul 29, 2013 @ 11:20:34
I always hate when I discover a series at the end. Its so hard to catch up.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 11:25:16
The Guardian series has been on my TBR pile for a while. Just never got around to it. Now that the series is ending, maybe that’s a sign to move it up :)
Jul 29, 2013 @ 11:27:37
I’ve loved one of her Iron Seas novels and one novella and I keep wondering if I should check out this series, but I’m intimidated with how many I’d have to buy! My library sucks.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 11:31:56
I have been eyeing this series for a while now after I was introduced to Brook with Riveted. (Truly that is one of my top 3 favorite romances ever.) I love Brook’s world building and characters, and I’d love to try this series too.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 11:39:53
Guardian Series if excellent. I’d recommend it to anyone, even though I found it difficult to get into the first book, it was well worth persisting with in the end, and I didn’t have any problems getting into the following books at all. I’ve loved reading them and can’t wait for the last one.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 11:41:08
This series has been on my TBR pile since I read The Iron Duke and loved the writing style!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 11:44:11
All the good things I’ve heard about the series. I have trouble reading series and haven’t gotten around to starting this one, but knowing that the last book is awesome helps a lot.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 11:44:26
I started this series then something stopped me although I have 2 more of the books I think. It was so lush and dense I had to be in the right frame for it. I loved the prose but maybe it wasn’t the right time for me. Maybe my brain will be more equipped for it this time. I’d like to restart the series at the beginning.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 11:47:50
I was just strongly urged to read this series earlier this week! I would love a chance to win it. The angels, vamps, and demons are right up my alley!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 11:50:45
I’ve always wanted to read this series. I’ve read Ms. Brook’s Iron Seas series and love her writing, so any opportunity to read her Guardian series would be great.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 11:52:03
I have her on my ridiculously long to-read list. I’m sad to hear that the story wrapped up before I could get to it but glad that it finished on a high note.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 11:52:58
This series was recommended to me and this would be the perfect opportunity to dive in!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 11:58:16
I have started Meljean’s Iron Seas books and enjoy them. I would love to read this new-to-me series in its entirety. Thank you for the contest!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 11:58:48
This is one of those things I’ve been thinking about reading forever but never actually started. Love the Iron Seas series though, and I’m a huge fan of paranormals involving demons.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 11:59:38
This is one of those series that has been on my wish list for years and I’ve just never quite gotten around to it. I’d love to win!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 12:11:29
I read and enjoyed Riveted, and this series looks interesting as well.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 12:25:53
I’ve never read anything by this author but I just looked around at this series and we other one and they look really cool! I’d love to start this one at the beginning.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 12:31:01
I haven’t read this series yet, and now I’m afraid to mess it up by jumping in at the end.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 12:40:49
I read this series last yr because it was highly recommended… I don’t regret it! It’s terrific!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 12:42:15
I love her Iron Seas series and would love to read the Guardian books.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 12:45:20
I’ve read the entire Iron Seas series, and I’ve started this one – but so far, I’ve only read the first two installments. I loved them though, and definitely plan to read the rest of them as well.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 12:49:43
I’ve been trying to “spread my wings” on the types of romance books I read. I’ve heard very good things about this author and it might be a nice time to give this series a look.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 12:59:17
What interests me? These books kick a%#!!! I LOVE the Guardian series. PNR, sexy, smart, funny- what’s not to love?!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 13:22:05
I’ve seen this series recommended here and around the web. I would love to try it since PNR is one of my favorite genres.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 13:26:13
I admire The Iron Seas series so I might as well try the Guardian series!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 13:27:56
I’ve just started the Iron Seas, and I’m enjoying the books. Definitely would like to check out the Guardian series. I have heard nothing but good things about it.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 13:35:55
Thanks for the recommendation!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 13:40:43
Other than that the cover is sexy? Ok, lol. I have read her steampunk series and they are just so cool. But this one for some reason has flown under the radar and I am intrigued
Jul 29, 2013 @ 13:44:00
I’ve heard great things but haven’t tried these books. Would love a free copy!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 14:10:03
This sounds like an awesome opportunity!! I read and really liked The Iron Duke. Her voice was one that just sucks you in. I have yet to get around to any of the other books, but that is something I must rectify soon.
That said, these sound SOOO interesting! I want to start reading them and be sucked in to a series that is completed (whoot!) as well as entertaining.
Thanks for hosting this!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 14:16:12
I haven’t read any of these yet. Thanks for the chance to win!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 14:17:52
I love this series. Every book, every novella from Hugh & Lillith on. It’s angsty and complicated, but oh-so worth it.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 14:40:31
I’ve been meaning to read this forever, since I like her other books. Seems like now is the perfect time.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 14:42:04
I read demon angel a long time ago but was too intimidated by the series to read all of them. I will would love the opportunity to try the series again.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 14:49:01
Thanks for the giveaway!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 14:49:48
I would love to read this series from the beginning! thanks for the opportunity to get all the books at once!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 14:52:56
I haven’t read any books in this series, but I really love PNR, fantasy etc. I’m starting to read steampunk stories so have some of Meljean’s books waiting to be read.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 15:05:15
I have read all of the Iron Seas books, but only 1 in the guardian series. I haven’t realised that it’s that long! I’d love to get a chance to catch up ;-)
Jul 29, 2013 @ 15:07:49
I have been meaning to read these for ages! The Iron Duke was so good, but my library is rather Meljean Brook deficient and I can’t afford to buy all of them :( it would be much easier if they were all just sittin on my own bookshelf :)
Jul 29, 2013 @ 15:11:44
If the Guardian Series can deliver the way Iron Seas has (like Rij, Heart of Steel took my fandom to a new level) I would love access to the whole backlist.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 15:12:26
This series soundalike something right up my alley and I have been eyeing it for quite a while…angels, demons…sign me up!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 15:15:33
I have been reading about Meljean Brook for a while now and have wanted to try her books, this would be great. I like the sound of her books and hope to read her soon!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 15:16:57
Thanks for the giveaway!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 15:17:04
I’ve dabbled with Meljean’s Iron Seas series and really liked them, but feel like the kid who didn’t get the invite to the party by missing on the Guardians series. Knowing that there were so many books in the series to cover before the most recent, I’ve been hesitant to start …. but this could be the catalyst to do so!
Thanks for the chance to enter!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 15:38:20
I have reaf two books in the series and loved them. I’ve been following brook’s blog ever since. I really like her writing, the complexity of her world and the different charcters. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 15:39:27
I havent actually read any of the books in this series. I have heard how good they are. Love to win a copy of the book.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 16:06:56
I read the first book when someone recommended it (probably when it first came out), and was surprised at how much I liked it. But I don’t remember details, so didn’t feel like reading the second book without reading the first. And I never did. Now that all the books are out, I can tackle the whole series.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 16:07:56
OMG! *fans herself wildly* I LOVE Meljean’s writing. And please, don’t let the pretty pink cover of Demon Angel (Book 1 of the Guardians series) put you off. The contents totally belie the cover — soooo worth it. Man, I’d love to win this. My inner fan-girl is hyperventilating at the thought of signed copies! And Nalini’s been telling me how great this final installment is :)
Jul 29, 2013 @ 16:13:00
I was sorting out books in storage yesterday – it’s amazing how many of them are Brooks. I am seriously ready for this one.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 16:16:33
I first found Meljean Brooks through the iron series. She somehow always seems to write about something I either want to see in a book or am interested in as a subject. It does help that she is really good at it!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 16:17:53
I love how everyone has nothing but amazing things to say about this series. It sounds absolutely stunning.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 16:18:01
Ack. I think I may have entered multiple times in Rafflecopter as it wasn’t showing that I’d entered at first. Sorry, Jane! The excitement got to me. (This is what happens when you offer a Meljean giveaway….)
Jul 29, 2013 @ 16:18:03
Meljean Brooks’ Iron Seas series has been an auto-buy for me ever since the first one came out, but I never got the chance to really pick up and get into her Guardian series because, to be honest, it was hard to find the first books and difficult to follow just jumping in the middle. I’m so glad you’re doing this! Her writing style is just absolutely lovely and casual at the same time.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 16:25:03
I have always heard the fan’girls about this series but I just haven’t ever started! I love UF and Paranormal and really would like to start it at some point!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 16:32:27
I LOVED LOVED LOVED Riveted and have been interested in trying more MB works- I’m only an occasional PNR reader, but I love the good stuff. This kind of recommendation from DR is definitely intriguing!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 16:35:30
Eek. I didn’t leave a comment and now can’t edit. My comment is just that I have read the Iron Seas but not the Guardian series. For some reason it has flown below my radar.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 16:59:18
I love her Iron Seas series, and I really do need to start her Gaurdian series. I enjoyed the short stories in the compilation books. The whole backlist would certainly give me the impetus to begin!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 17:03:57
I read the first two books in the Guardian series and got diverted to the Iron Seas. I enjoy all of her worlds.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 17:05:33
I haven’t read this series but I am always looking for a good story and a good series is even better.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 17:09:46
I haven’t read this series yet. This series sounds great with demons, angels, vampires. Count me in!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 17:40:14
Because my To Be Read Pile can never be too tall.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 18:00:43
I love the characters in the sereies; the core of the characters are strong, though they are often tested (or tormented) by what is perceived as truth and what is not, and what is the appropriate step to take. But through it all, there is a HEA!!!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 18:33:05
I am one of those people who have to read a series in order. So, I have not started the Guardian series due to not having the money to purchase books 1-7. I would love to win this set.
Thank you for the great giveaway.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 18:39:19
Thanks so much for the chance to win these books. I’ve been a fan of Ms Brook’s writing for a long time. Her writing is intelligent, above all. The worlds she has created are so real that it can be ages between readings in these worlds and I still remember the details of them, how they work, who’s in charge and so on. Wonderful stuff.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 18:54:41
I love Meljean Brook’s Iron Seas series and I’ve been meaning to read this series.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 19:05:03
I have loved the Guardian series since the very first book. While I completely understand recommendations to start with book 3, I started with number 1 and could not put it down. The presentation of the different races (guardians, demons, vampires) have always been shown as flawed – not every guardian does the right thing all the time, not every demon is completely evil. I love the chance everyone has for redemption and that there are multiple motives behind every move. You can be selfish and do the right thing at the same time, nothing is cut and dry!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 19:06:51
I love all of Meljean’s books! I love the way she writes, I love the characters, I love the drama, I love the humor, I love the romance, I love the action, I love everything! I’m so excited for Guardian Demon. I just finished rereading the series earlier this month. I can’t wait!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 19:12:48
I would love to read such a highly regarded series- please count me in!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 19:19:15
I’ve read and enjoyed the Iron Seas series, but it seems I’m missing out by not yet reading this one. I would love the chance to read it.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 19:23:00
Like everyone else, I loved her Iron Seas books; but I’ve been hesitant to jump into another long series.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 19:25:45
I’ve read other stories by her and would love the chance to read this new to me series.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 19:35:27
I have heard amazing things about this series
Jul 29, 2013 @ 19:36:13
Sounds good, I’d love to read them!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 19:38:06
I’m a huge fan of her Iron Seas series, so I’d love to try the Guardians one as well! Thanks so much for the giveaway.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 19:39:37
I have read Demon Night, and really loved it.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 19:46:18
I really want to read this series. I love reading about angels and vampires. Thanks for the giveaway.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 19:59:19
I came across this series after reading a novella in an anthology – got hooked, and borrowed the rest of the series from the library, but didn’t read them in order. I think what I enjoy most about the characters, in particular the main protagonists, is that they are may have supernatural powers, but they aren’t perfect. I would love the have the whole series so that I can reread it in order.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 20:01:44
I haven’t read anything by Meljean Brook but I see her mentioned frequently and fondly so am looking forward to giving her a try.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 20:07:27
I’ve heard good things about her Iron Seas novels and the range of ethnicities and cultures represented. I would love to see how she portrays the characters in this series.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 20:41:57
Guardian series, how have I missed reading you and your demons? It’s time to rectify that error, and keep my fangirl love for the Iron Seas. Thank you!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 20:44:06
Love this series, although I haven’t read all of the books…yet! Meljean is one of my favorite authors…
Jul 29, 2013 @ 21:13:08
I have never read the Guardian series but I would love to start this series.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 21:16:42
I haven’t read any of Meljean’s books yet, and this post makes me really want to!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 21:34:52
I have read other books by Meljean and loved them, but haven’t yet read this series, thanks so much for the chance to be in to win them!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 21:40:02
I love Meljean’s Iron Seas series, and have her Demon series in my TBR list when I have time…(this would help me along!)
Jul 29, 2013 @ 21:56:26
My experience with Meljean Brook is the same as many others, I adore the Iron Seas series. I have several of the Guardian books on my TBR shelf, but haven’t started it yet. I’m looking forward to starting the series soon.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 22:00:53
I like Meljean’s books! Thanks so much for sharing ;)
Jul 29, 2013 @ 22:02:19
I love Meljean Brook’s Iron Seas series, but haven’t read her Guardian series, so I would love to win a copy of it!
Jul 29, 2013 @ 22:04:29
Fell in love with your writing with the Guardian Series. Stayed in love with the Iron Seas series. Love her writing.
Jul 29, 2013 @ 22:43:16
This sounds like a great series. I’m putting it on my tbr now. :)
Jul 29, 2013 @ 22:59:03
I love Nahili Singh’s books and so I am sure that any series she recommends would also be great. Going to check it out now
Jul 29, 2013 @ 23:34:20
The series has so many elements that I love to read about. I wouldn’t be surprised with all the recommendations if I haven’t already purchased the first book in the series. Now that it is complete, it has moved way up my to be read list.

I really enjoyed her other series and have read a couple of novellas, just not this one.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 01:13:27
The world in which Meljean puts forth in her stories is dynamic – I love her strong female leads, her smokin hot male leads and the storylines put forward in each story is unique. I had the pleasure Of hiring these from my local library = and would love to add the signed collection to the rest of her books ;) Sad to see this series come to an end. But for all new comers this last book is a much awaited instalment —– ! Cant wait for my pre order to arrive :) kat
Jul 30, 2013 @ 01:13:41
Meljean wowed me with her Iron Seas books, and I practically gobbled them up. If they could capture me so fully I imagine her guardian books would too
Jul 30, 2013 @ 01:14:07
I really enjoyed the Iron Seas series. Guardian series are on my TBR shelf for far too long. I plan to start the series now.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 01:19:04
I just adore this series. My favourite characters have to be Lilith, Sir Pup, Colin and Jake. Can’t stop reading them!
Jul 30, 2013 @ 01:28:18
I have read all of both her Guardian and Iron Seas series, and I thoroughly enjoy them both. I’m simultaneously anticipating and dreading the final book in the Guardian series, as I will miss the characters and world, but I also look forward to her next project.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 01:38:28
Read some of her other stories
Jul 30, 2013 @ 01:39:59
I love this series, and I can’t wait to get my hands on Guardian Demon.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 01:53:49
Definitely one of the best looking set of series books on my shelves!
Jul 30, 2013 @ 02:07:29
Please please please please let me win! :D
Jul 30, 2013 @ 02:09:05
I started the guardian series but got confused on the way as I missed a couple of books so I want to restart the series again. I loved the iron seas series, can’t wait for the next one in that
Jul 30, 2013 @ 02:15:10
I have loved this series since book one, can’t wait to read Michael’s story. Thank you for the awesome giveaway. :)
Jul 30, 2013 @ 02:16:46
It’s a fantastic world that she’s created with wonderful mythology. The stories are emotional,gritty and sexy. I’m always pulled into her books wondering what’s going to happen. I also love that she mixes all kinds of supernaturals, you get angels, vampires, demons something for everyone to love.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 02:19:09
I just love the stories, and the world they’re set in. :)
Jul 30, 2013 @ 02:19:55
OMG keeeeeeeeen for this competition~~~~(to come my way)
Jul 30, 2013 @ 02:42:15
I love the Iron Seas books and would love to read this series!
Jul 30, 2013 @ 02:44:03
I haven’t read this series YET. It is my to be read next list though!
Jul 30, 2013 @ 02:56:08
I’ve been waiting so long for the series to finish! I’ve read it only as e-books though, so it’d be lovely to have a physical copy of the series on my shelf. :)
Jul 30, 2013 @ 03:12:05
Haven’t read this series yet, but it’s on my to read list. I loved the Iron Seas series :)
Jul 30, 2013 @ 03:31:27
I’ve read her Iron Seas books, but I’ve never read the Guardian series (due both to the money factor and the fact that I must read a series from the beginning). I’ve heard fantastic things about it, so I would love to get the chance. Thank you for the opportunity!
Jul 30, 2013 @ 03:52:55
I would love to get caught up in a new series and so far I haven’t read the Guardian books. Everyone’s enthusiasm towards the final book makes me hope I might find the series amazing too, so thank you for the giveaway, I’d like to try my luck! ^O^
Jul 30, 2013 @ 03:55:52
I have heard good things about this series for a while. Great giveaway!!
Jul 30, 2013 @ 04:04:16
This probably isn’t even open to international readers, as most book giveaways aren’t. But anyway here goes……I love the mix of captivating characters, the darkness and suspense, but most of all, I have always loved Michael. I will be devastated to see this series end, and will just have to go back and re-read it yet again from the beginning. I would like to thank Meljean for creating such an exhilarating, intense and passionate series to stroke our imaginations.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 04:42:48
I actually never read a Meljean Brook book, before, but her name is on my list of authors to try.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 04:49:59
I love your passion to the series – it makes me want to know more about a series that has largely passed me by (although that is mostly cos I live in the UK and it’s not published here!). However, I also loved Meljean’s Iron Seas book so really want to see what the Guardian series is like!
Jul 30, 2013 @ 04:54:38
Always looking for new authors and have been researching Maljean’s books so here’s hoping (fingers crossed)
Jul 30, 2013 @ 05:31:43
I like her iron sea and I want to read her guardian series.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 05:42:55
I haven’t read the series myself but a friend has and she keeps telling me to try her!
Jul 30, 2013 @ 05:44:45
I’ve read the Iron Seas series, but I didn’t want to start another series where I would have to buy so many books at higher prices to get into it. I’d love to win all of the books though.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 06:10:32
loved the iron seas series. looking to start reading on meljean brooks’s other books.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 06:50:22
I love urban fantasy, and I’ve always heard good things about this series. I love a good combination of fantasy, action, humor and romance.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 06:55:55
I’ve heard so much raves for Meljean’s books! And Nalini Singh, who is one of my all time ALL TIME favorite authors, keeps recommending her books! :) And I do love my adult urban fantasy-paranormal romances. ;) Would love to have a shot at this series! :) Thanks!
Jul 30, 2013 @ 07:02:23
I love the Iron Seas series and have read the first two books in the Guardian series. Welcome the chance to read all of them.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 07:10:30
Would love to have the entire series in print. And then autographed to boot? Yep, every reader’s dream.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 07:13:17
I love MelJean, She caught me at her first Guardian book and I was hooked like fish to a hook . I will be very sad when this series is finished . Thank you so much for this great chance at winning these great reads.And when you think something can’t get any better your going to sign them . YOU ROCK
Jul 30, 2013 @ 07:15:04
I have the first several books of this series, but just haven’t gotten around to starting it yet. I would love to win the whole backlist. I love the Iron Seas series. I know a major time investment awaits, and I look forward to it, especially knowing that the series has a finite number of books and I can read them all. Thank you for the opportunity.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 08:00:20
I’ve loved both the Guardian and Iron Seas series so far, and have every expectation of adoring Guardian Demon as well. It absolutely amazes me how this author has maintained the world-building in two very distinct settings – it seems that many authors who write multiple series tend to unintentionally overlap themes. My favorite aspect of her writing is how the characters are true to their environment and completely believable, while still surprising me with their journey / thoughts / actions. I have such respect for the characters Meljean Brook has created, and that is what keeps me coming back for every release.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 08:11:02
Have not had a chance to read this series yet. With the last book coming out now seems like a great time to start it.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 08:33:20
I love Meljean Brook’s other books, but have not yet had a chance to read this series. I love her writing.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 08:39:35
I haven’t read this series yet, but have it on my TBR list. Why? Vampire, Angels and Demons! Oh, my! I loved her writing in The Iron Duke and want to read more by her. thanks!
Jul 30, 2013 @ 08:46:42
I read the Iron Series but never started the Guardian’s. Really intrigued and will have to check them out.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 08:46:58
Several of my favorite authors have also mentioned Meljean as an author they enjoy reading, and I’ve read some of her other books and enjoyed those. I have been meaning to go back and read this series, but I have not yet due to lack of time/not having looked up which one is book 1 and been able to check it out of the library/or buy it since. Thanks for the contest!
Jul 30, 2013 @ 08:47:51
Would love to read this!
Jul 30, 2013 @ 09:03:59
I have read Meljean’s steampunk series and had heard good things about the Guardian series but the time/money investment along with my ridiculously long to be read pile has kept me from diving into it. This may be the kick in the pants I need because I suspect it’s a fantastic series that I would love.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 09:33:17
I’ve always been curious about her books since reading about them here.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 09:34:15
I adore her Iron Seas series, and am dying to dive in to this series!! thank you for making that possible!
Jul 30, 2013 @ 09:49:40
I actually started her Iron Seas series since the first one was available on ebook through my local library system, and got hooked- I’ve read everything out so far for that series, so I feel like I’d probably like this series too.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 10:07:00
Sounds like an intriguing series, with a concept I have read yet.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 10:30:20
This series has been on my wishlist for too long. I know I’d love it since I love Meljean Brook’s Iron Seas series. Don’t know what’s been keeping me from reading them… Oh yeah…$. Would love the chance to win these books!
Jul 30, 2013 @ 10:50:37
I am so excited and I hope I win.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 11:26:35
I am not much of a ‘series’ girl, but Meljean hooked me with Demon Angel. I got away from the series after that and I would love to get the entire completed series and glom, glom, glom!
Jul 30, 2013 @ 11:31:17
I’m a huge fan of Meljean Brooks’ Iron Seas series but haven’t gotten a chance to read her Guardian books. I would love the opportunity to do so!
Jul 30, 2013 @ 14:09:12
Cant wait to read your series, heard it was great
Jul 30, 2013 @ 14:18:27
This is one of the most complex and good series out there. <3
Jul 30, 2013 @ 16:18:27
I love Meljean’s Iron Seas, and I’ve read a novella (or two?) in the Guardians series–I know I’ll love it as much as her other work, and am thrilled to have the chance to win the Guardians. Signed? Ecstatic!! My fingers and everything else are crossed :)
Jul 30, 2013 @ 16:22:45
This series was recommended to me by one of my favourite authors, Nalini Singh.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 16:37:46
I haven’t read her books yet but I want to because I love books like these!!:)
Jul 30, 2013 @ 18:50:43
I have read most of the Iron Seas series and I have just started reading the 1st book in the Guardian series. I am amazed by the author’s ability to create such different worlds. I would love to get the other books in this series.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 19:29:30
I love what I’ve read by Meljean Brooks, but unfortunately, my library doesn’t have all of her Guardian series. I’d love to win the books and thank you for the contest!
Jul 30, 2013 @ 19:56:36
I love her Iron Seas series but never got into this one, despite reading and like one of her short stories set in the world. I’d love to catch up with the rest!
Jul 30, 2013 @ 20:13:58
I’ve wanted to read this series for a while – this would be a great opportunity.
Jul 30, 2013 @ 20:58:19
Well, i’ve only read one of her books. adding this one to be won and read, would be great !
Jul 30, 2013 @ 22:16:47
I’ve only read the first couple of books, but I love the intricate worldbuilding. I’m just completely drawn in by these books!
Jul 31, 2013 @ 00:08:12
I’ve read her Iron Seas series and LOVE them but have not read the Guardian series. Really no excuse as to why I have not read it so I would love to win it! I imagine it’s just as well written as the Iron Seas are.
Jul 31, 2013 @ 00:53:46
I’ve heard lots of good things about Brooks’ books, and would love to win a set of this series.
Jul 31, 2013 @ 10:16:26
I can’t believe I just heard about this series, it sounds like it’s right up my alley! I can’t wait to dive into it!
Jul 31, 2013 @ 10:51:37
I just got introduced to the Iron Seas series, and I loved it! I’m really interested in trying her Guardian series now, too.
Jul 31, 2013 @ 11:24:38
Never read this author before, altho’ I see she’s highly recommended almost everywhere and angels – what’s not to love?
Jul 31, 2013 @ 12:04:22
The Guardian Series was my introduction to Brook’s books and her amazing talent. I followed the series up to book 4 or 5, I think, and loved the worldbuilding and the characters. But then I discovered the Iron Seas and fell in love with the author all over again. Somehow the rest of the Guardian books got left out. So I’d love to win the contest and rediscover my “first love”. Thank you for the contest!
Jul 31, 2013 @ 12:16:39
I loved the Iron Duke
Jul 31, 2013 @ 13:50:19
I’ve read the Iron Seas series and really enjoyed it, I did not realize the author had another series until now, very excited!
Jul 31, 2013 @ 13:54:56
My favorite author, Nalini Singh, recommended this series. So I would like to try it.
Jul 31, 2013 @ 15:08:03
I enjoy following Meljean on twitter, and love her Iron Seas series. This series was several books in when I was first introduced to her work, and I’m one of those who can’t read out of order : ) Have wanted to start it, but have had to wait to save up for them all.
Thank you so much for the chance to win them all…
Jul 31, 2013 @ 15:43:26
Looking forward to reading the Guardian series.
Jul 31, 2013 @ 15:59:22
I can’t wait to read this series
Jul 31, 2013 @ 18:10:36
I’ve been meaning to read this series forever – since nearly the beginning. I guess now that the last book is released, now’s a good time to do so :)
Jul 31, 2013 @ 21:23:53
I’m sold! I’d love to read these!
Aug 01, 2013 @ 00:02:23
Love the series and can’t wait for the last book!
Aug 01, 2013 @ 06:17:11
Like so many others, it seems, I’ve read some of the Iron Seas books, and I’d like to have a go with this series!
Aug 01, 2013 @ 09:18:09
I like the series because the characters are amazing and the stories keep you wanting to read more.
Aug 01, 2013 @ 10:35:55
Thanks for the chance to read a terrific author.
Aug 01, 2013 @ 11:14:47
Because it’s Meljean! And so complex and wonderful.
Aug 01, 2013 @ 11:18:48
Demon Angel is still one of my favorite books.
Aug 01, 2013 @ 12:58:47
woooo Comment! I so excited!
Aug 01, 2013 @ 14:19:01
I have wanted to read this series for several years! I will make the time!
Thanks
Aug 01, 2013 @ 19:07:01
I am so excited for this finale. The Guardians books are amazing.
Aug 01, 2013 @ 19:11:43
I’d love to give this series a try!
Aug 01, 2013 @ 20:06:29
Finally, a promising paranormal series I haven’t read yet. Yay!
Aug 01, 2013 @ 20:26:02
I am a huge paranormal romance fan and read alot of Nalini Singh, Keri Arthur and the like.
I also have a few anthologies that Meljean has short stories in and have really enjoyed these.
I have also been recommended Meljean’s series’ a number of times and think its about time that I started.
Aug 01, 2013 @ 20:30:46
I haven’t read any of these yet, but I think I am going to have to.
Aug 01, 2013 @ 21:24:54
Whoopie … can’t wait to read the series which was recommended by Nalini Singh.
Aug 01, 2013 @ 21:36:25
I haven’t read this series yet, but it sounds great!!! I like the author’s other books though, so I think any series would sound interesting from her :)
Aug 01, 2013 @ 21:43:30
The Guardian series is simply fantastic! I can’t wait until next week.
Aug 01, 2013 @ 21:47:44
I’ve been wanting to read this series, but to get the entire series is beyond my budget. Thank you for telling me about the primer.
Aug 01, 2013 @ 22:31:00
the characters sound interesting
