The Guardian

By: Nicholas Sparks

Narrated by: Isabel Keating

After her husband’s death, a young widow with a faithful Great Dane must decide between two men—but as new love blossoms, jealousy turns deadly in this suspenseful New York Times bestseller.

Julie Barenson’s young husband left her two unexpected gifts before he died—a Great Dane puppy named Singer and the promise that he would always be watching over her. Now four years have passed. Still living in the small town of Swansboro, North Carolina, twenty-nine-year-old Julie is emotionally ready to make a commitment to someone again. But who?

Should it be Richard Franklin, the handsome, sophisticated engineer who treats her like a queen? Or Mike Harris, the down-to-earth nice guy who was her husband’s best friend? Choosing one of them should bring her more happiness than she’s had in years. Instead, Julie is soon fighting for her life in a nightmare spawned by a chilling deception and jealousy so poisonous that it has become a murderous desire ...

“An involving love story ... an edge-of-your-seat, unpredictable thriller.” ―Booklist

Worth the listen

I listened to this book in 2 days, so obviously had a hard time putting it down. I was frustrated at times to find that I guessed the obvious before the detectives but maybe that was the author's intent. On the other hand, it is a beautiful love story that touched my heart and I'm glad I listened.

Love it

I've read the book so many times. when I saw it on audible I had to get it, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the narrator.

Excellent Book

This is an Excellent Book and Nicholas Sparks is a brilliant author. I have listened to two of his books so far: this book and the Note Book. I love them both.

Great Dane of a Story

The author sure understands the character of the Great Dane breed expelling their faithful, loyal nature and temperament.

Completely awesome

I loved this audio book- I used to dread my drive to and from work - 75 min one way. Listening to this audiobook made me want to keep driving BC I didn't want to have to wait til the next day's drive to hear what happened next. The narrators voice was not boring - like u would think it would be. I love Nicholas Sparks he is awesome! This story was great! I felt like I knew all the characters personally!
I can't wait to pick out my next Nicholas Sparks book!!!!!
