What do my readers say ?
I
just finished reading this story. I love it and
can't wait for the next one! I read twenty or more
books a month (and have since I was 12) and this is
definitely one of the best Sci-Fi/Romance novellas I have
read it a long time.
Please hurry with the second
one!
Connie
The story is set in a well-planned world with different and
interesting customs. It all seems perfectly natural as I read about
our delightful main characters Daeron and Nessa and their forbidden
love that neither was destined to deny. There is intrigue that is
not cleared up in this episode of the thrilling new series which
leads me to hope that we will get more about Daeron and Nessa in the
next book. I fell in love with the both of them and really need
more. I’m desperate to learn how they fare on Daeron’s seventy
percent water covered home world. I was wickedly aroused, every time
these two made love, by their tenderness and reverence towards each
other until the tension built so high and hot that it just had to be
sated. I was touched by the closeness that resulted from their
intimate contact. I thoroughly enjoyed the fresh and exciting new
storyline set in an interesting new world containing characters I
instantly cared for and a set of circumstances I felt immersed in. I
highly recommend Guardian of My Soul and I can’t wait to read
the rest of the Bondmate series.

CJ England never fails to tackle difficult, perhaps
even delicate, scenarios and put her own special stamp on them. In
the world in which Nessa and Daeron reside, the planet Caereli,
women have few, if any, choices. In fact, the Pleasure Tent itself
is filled with women who are nothing more than slaves who are
prostituted for the slave master’s own financial gain. Nessa’s
spirited sense of adventure and her own sense of self worth is even
more precious in such a world. Daeron’s acceptance of her just as
she is only highlights the heart of gold that lies inside this
muscular guardian.
BONDMATE I: GUARDIAN OF MY SOUL is one sizzling hot story! The
attraction between Nessa and Daeron flares up instantly as these two
can barely keep their hands off of one another! CJ England provides
a sweet edge to the story, however, as this story is not simply
about fantastic sex but is instead about that deep emotional tie or
bond that occurs between soul mates. CJ England never fails
to touch readers’ hearts with her beautiful stories of love.
BONDMATE I: GUARDIAN OF MY SOUL is yet one more example of this
talented author’s writing skills. Hot and steamy, but full of
Kleenex moments, BONDMATE I: GUARDIAN OF MY SOUL is sure to satisfy!

CJ England has a way of drawing the reader into each moment of the
story, as every instant seems vividly real with unforgettable
characters. Whether it is a touch, a kiss or a heartfelt thought,
each is imaginatively expressed and lets one also experience the
affecting scene. In BONDMATE I: GUARDIAN OF MY SOUL, there is an
ideal balance between the emotional aspects of the story and the
question of what the future will bring for Daeron and Nessa. With
the constant clash between duty and desire faced by this couple, the
tension builds with every page turned. Ms. England knows exactly how
to set the scene in order to show every intensely deep emotion felt
by her characters, and watching the unyielding control of Daeron and
Nessa over their actions slowly crumble is so effectively put into
words by this gifted author. The personalities of this appealing
couple shine through on every page, as their caring and passionate
actions are often clearer than any spoken words. When their
encounters turn more intimate, every second is described in arousing
detail, letting me sense the moment right along with them. BONDMATE
I: GUARDIAN OF MY SOUL will raise your temperature with its
combustible heat while touching your heart with the potent emotions.
