About this listen

 The Guardian: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!*

Swept off your feet and into a nightmare . . .

A powerful blend of love story, betrayal and obsession, The Guardian is written with electrifying intensity, playing with your emotions at every turn.

Widowed at a young age, Julie understands the pain that comes with love and has avoided romance for a long time. As she eases herself back into the dating scene, her eye is caught by the darkly sophisticated Richard, as he begins a passionate pursuit of her affections. But she is still confused by her feelings for best friend Mike: funny, loyal, but definitely not sophisticated.

A seemingly innocent choice sets off a deadly chain of events that leaves Julie fighting for her life, as jealousy simmers into murderous desire.

*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.©2003 Nicholas Sparks Contemporary Contemporary Romance Friendship Genre Fiction Romance Romantic Suspense Fiction Suspense Funny

I am a big fan of Nicholas Sparks and read all his books, seen all the movies. This is the weakest story line in my opinion but what really ruined it in this audiobook is that the lady who read it, put on extremely animated performance. Really cheesy, over the top and cringe inducing screaming every time something mildly dramatic was happening. This really ruined the book for me.

Worst audiobook reader I listened to.
