Broken and dangerously so. Why did he find her now, when he can’t protect her?
Centuries spent as the hero, vanished in one horrific, sickening twist. Now Guardian Warrior Mathias Blanchett must call on his fractured strength to save the tormented woman who calls to his spirit from enemies bent on their destruction. But will it be enough?
Dance has been all Alexxa Montgomery desired. But the last words of her missing father have placed her in a precarious position, an unwilling obstacle in the path of her ambitious brother. Then from across the conference room table, and from beyond the footlights, the heat from a pair of impossible green eyes dare her to place her trust in a sensual stranger.
Caught between sworn duty and mounting desire. Torn between blood promises and undeniable passion. Which do you choose when any decision leads to disaster?

4 out of 5 (very good)
SPIRIT OUT OF BALANCE is the fifth book in The Guardians series, and I haven't read all of them, and I'm wondering if I missed something.
Let me explain...
I've read books one and four in this series, and both of them could be read as standalones, BUT for this story, I just felt as though I had missed something about Mathias and his arm. Maybe it's because I haven't read this series recently? I'm unsure. Anyway, moving on to the rest of the review.
Out of the two main characters, Lex was my favourite. She is a strong character who does the best with what she's got. Her brother is a douche, and I really wish I could have met her father. I loved reading about the dances Lex did and her passion for them. Lex and Mathias may not have met in the best of circumstances, but the connection between them is undeniable - until Mathias decides he knows best!
This was a great addition to the series, and I really hope we get Eamon's story at some point. I thoroughly enjoyed it and have no hesitation in recommending it. I just wish I could have connected with Mathias and his story a little more.
** Same worded review will appear elsewhere. **

Tessa McFionn has always had a love of all things unreal. Growing up reading Tolkien, Heinlein, and comic books, playing D&D, and watching Thundarr the Barbarian on Saturday mornings, she was immersed in worlds of magic. When her mother introduced her to Dune and An Interview with a Vampire, she was hooked on romance in speculative fiction, and after discovering Sherrilyn Kenyon, she realized love can share center stage in the story. She also feeds her artistic soul through her passions for theatre, dance and music, as well as regular trips to The Happiest Place on Earth with friends and family. With both an award-winning paranormal romance and a sci-fi romance series out in the world, she continues to encourage all to believe in magic.
