An orphaned heiress becomes a feisty woman her wealthy guardian can’t resist in this Christmas romance by a USA Today–bestselling author.

When domineering Spaniard Izar Agustin was made guardian to innocent Liliana Girard Brooks, he couldn’t have known that the passing years would turn this young girl into an alluring woman begging to be shown the unconscious desires of her body.

For as long as she can remember, Liliana’s coolly elusive keeper has haunted her fevered imagination. Hoping to sever the ties that bind them, she recklessly gives in to one night of sensual abandon, shattering her naive fantasies irrevocably. But the consequences of that night will bind them together . . . forever!

Should have 6 Stars. Caitlin Crews is one of my new favorites. This was excellent! Loved it from start to finish. I couldn't put it down. I love how she continued their story on and completely wrapped it up in a beautiful HE that made me smile and pictured them for a few more years down the road. Definitely one of the very best I've read in a long time. Will recommend to all!

I loved that story and those two characters.
The guardian and ward thing was original contrary to the same old plot lines and stories.
The start was very promising. It will have been better for a longer novel with more time and place to make them grow. It was still very well done though.
I just regret the end to be so predictable but it was of course a happy one so I'm happy.

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2016
The Guardian’s Virgin Ward by Caitlin Crews is part of the One The-Guardians-virgin-wardNight with Consequences series, written by several different authors. The series name gives a pretty clear indication of what’s going to drive the plot and the title takes a present day twist on what is more commonly seen in a historical romance but works well in this story of strangers bound by fate.

Liliana Gerard Brooks is an orphaned heiress, her loving parents having died tragically several years earlier. They’d left their best friend and business partner, Izar Agustin as her guardian. Just under 30 years himself, Izar didn’t know what to do with the girl in his care and sent her off to boarding school in the Alps for her formative years. Liliana grew into a beautiful young woman, her contact with Izar always impersonal. Once she went to college in the United States, she managed to get out from under his thumb, deceiving him into thinking she was living in an old family home when in fact she’d moved in with friends in a sketchy part of town. When Izar becomes aware of her situation (a heads up from a paparazzi looking to make a scoop), he swoops in to take care of things, expecting little resistance. But the Liliana of his memory is not the stunning woman in front of him. Struck with an equal attraction, they sleep together, Liliana losing her virginity to Izar. But with that act, she’s also lost her freedom, as Izar insists that they go back together to Europe, and that she must now become his wife. Liliana has purposefully put her heritage out of her mind, but when confronted with the reality of her wealth, her clothes and the lifestyle that she could have with Izar it’s hard to remember why she’d choose something else. But will she be willing to settle for anything less than love?

I liked this story. It’s the first Caitlin Crews book I’ve read (though I’ve read several of her books written under the Megan Crane pen name) and as I expected she has a flowing writing style and engaging characters. Izar comes across as a powerful figure, an arrogant but charming man. He’s a bit of an enigma with Liliana though, mostly because he is struck by her beauty and his desire for her. He tries to maintain his composure around her but doesn’t always succeed. He’s definitely used to women falling at his feet so he has expectations that Liliana will fall into line with him, though she is clear that she doesn’t think much of his proposal. Still it doesn’t take long for him to persuade her that a life with him won’t be so bad. Their love scenes are sensual and well written, and Liliana can see past the facade Izar puts up for the rest of the world. I would have liked to see a bit more grovelling from Izar, and a bit more agency from Liliana. I felt that she gave into Izar’s demands a bit too easily and wanted her to stand up more for herself, even as she was falling in love with him. Still at the end there is the definite sense that they have an equal amount of power over each other and they get their happy ever after. It’s an enjoyable read. 3.5 stars

I had a hard time finishing this book but I'm glad I got to the end. I like a strong alpha male but there has to be done humor and kindness underneath that comes thru even at the beginning. It was there in the end but for 90% of the story you hate this guy. The female lead was way too much of a victim and I kept thinking she would finally speak her mind and go away and grow up some but other than her childish meltdown she never did. She just grew to like her gilded cage and accept her role as the child in this relationship. Love supposedly makes it all ok but it felt degrading to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars An enthralling, sensational, passionate story of love! 5A* no doubt!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 12, 2017

The story of Izor Augostin and Lilian Girard revolves around this statement ‘She-is-your-ward’, which keeps dominating Izor’s sleeping and waking moments. The readers will find it riveting to see how this ‘unforbidden love’ will work itself out amidst fascinating locations. It becomes a fairytale fantasy!
Izor the guardian of ten years,’ is impossible, overwhelming, who has made his presence felt from afar this past decade’. His trademark of ‘black gaze, the mocking curl of his haughty lips attracted Lilian from the time she knew him.’ ‘He was indisputably a man of bronze statue; hard male sinew and ingrained athleticism ‘caused Lilian to rebel, without him having to say a single word. ‘Intense. Ruthless.Undeniable.’
While Lilian in these intervening years ‘had become taller, slimmer, with masses of golden hair which was nothing short of mesmerizing.’ ‘Her plump tilted sweet mouth’ made him gaze on them, coupled with her ‘blue eyes’, he felt she had blossomed into one of the most ‘stunning woman he’d ever seen in his life’. She ‘looked wild, untamed, golden and gorgeous’.’Her silly little smile, at what was happening was nothing short of delight ‘, to Izor, more so when she said ‘Sir’ to rile him ever so frequently!
He growled, ‘I am not playing these games with you. I would be very careful little girl, that you do not overplay your hand’. Fury and far darker, dangerous tone threaded through that quiet voice of his’.’I am talking of marriage, Liliana not an excavation’. Izor’s gestures such as ‘thunderous scowl, ’lean jaw clenched’, ’his hard mouth flirted with the faintest curve ‘all went to make Izor ‘a dark-haired black –eyed devil’.
The repartee used is skilful and bewitching; the sparring between them is equally entertaining! She is a young minx who will steal the hearts of the romantic readers at every twist and turn till the end of the book!
This story is a real page turner! True love has to be experienced and cherished and in what better format than in a paperback or a Kindle.
‘She is mine’.
