The Guardsman (The Olympic Peninsula Series Book 2) Audiobook by Cat Treadgold – Review by Cindy Mayberry

/0 Comments/in , /by

This is Liam and Teresa’s story. Once again this author took me by surprise. The audio story puts your mind into the audience. This story holds all the suspense and romance you could ask for. Teresa is a strong independent woman and Liam has seen and been through enough trauma. While both are tied together by family and blood, their banter is fun to follow. Can Liam and Teresa fight their true hearts and stay away from each other? Will their siblings help to keep them apart? Having been to Port Townsend, this story fits perfectly, even if there were some fabrications.  I still love this story. This could be a standalone, but I feel you should read this series in order, as book one has some information that will keep you on track with this story. Yes I will be waiting to see where this author takes the next in this intriguing series.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series so I wanted to read the 2nd. I did like it, I just enjoyed the first book more. I’m not sure why, but the writing in this book seemed a little more historical than the first. The good thing about these books is that they can be standalone reads.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Olympic Peninsula series. I would recommend reading the first book prior to this one to get a deeper background on the characters and their connections to each other.

Liam is a character I took an interest in in the first book, as despite not actually meeting him properly he was featured heavily. It was thought that he may have been dead by most, but his sister firmly believed him to be alive. Getting to know him in this book was interesting, pieces together what I thought I knew to what is revealed started filling the gaps in knowledge, answering questions I’d had since the first chapters of the previous book. Liam has certainly been through and lot but remains strong despite this and his mistrust in people, he remains caring.
I loved Teresa in the first book, she was so sweet and welcoming so I’m glad to see her get a shot at true happiness in this book, she truly deserves it. They both do. Their story is a sweet one, slowly their opposites attract.

The descriptive language once again paints vivid imagery of both the scenery and characters, creating a world you could almost step right into.

This was another enjoyable book in the series, and I look forward to reading the next one in November.

The Guardsman
By: Cat Treadgold

This is the second book in the Olympic Peninsula Series. I read the first book, The Silent Woodsman, and was anxiously awaiting the second book. I do think this book functions as a standalone, however, I will say that I definitely recommend reading the first book first. This is due to the same characters being featured in both books. I feel that you miss a large part of this story if you are unfamiliar with the background of the characters.
This time it’s Liam’s story. He was presumed dead in a terrorist attack. His sister, however, never lost hope that he was alive. She believed in their connection. Ali (his sister) and her husband, Joe, bring him back home. Liam and Ali are such amazing characters, they are dark and twisty and completely believable. They have had such a tight bond and have been through so much. It only makes sense that Liam is completely unsure of what he wants next in is life. However, if you read the first book, you know that not only did Liam and Ali have difficulty in growing up. Joe has an incredibly complicated family. And his sister needs his help. Joe and his sister have a good relationship. Teresa is also an excellent character. I loved how she and Liam interacted.
Cat Treadgold is a fantastic author who really has a strength in creating complex, believable and relatable characters. Each and everyone one of the characters introduced in this book is perfect. They are absolutely well written and why I know that I will be seeking out more of Cat’s book’s in the future!

This is book 2 in The Olympic Peninsula series. I do say you should read the first book. This is Liam and Teresa’s story, and it is wonderfully written. I am a big fan as I actually live in Port Townsend where a lot of the book takes place, so it makes it more magical for me. The characters are done so well, I love the family dynamics, also slight mystery.

The Guardsman is the second book in The Olympic Peninsula series by Cat Treadgold. It is a heartwarming contemporary romance with an opposites attract element, a protective hero, damaged soul, trauma, family dynamics, emotion, finding love unexpectedly, and the healing power of love.
Here we meet Liam, who is Ali’s ‘missing- presumed dead’ twin brother (Ali is the FMC in Book one- The Silent Woodsman). Liam has been through quite a lot in the past few years and has quite the story to tell. Needing time to reevaluate his life and come to grips with everything, he goes to stay with his twin sister and her husband- and life takes an unexpected turn. What happens makes for a heartwarming tale.
As with the first instalment, Ms. Treadgold crafted a touching story which is woven with plenty of emotion which tugged at my heartstrings and made it easy to connect with the characters and invest in their story completely.
I am looking forward to the release of ‘The Magic Man” (Book #3).
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Cat Treadgold!

This is my second audio book in this series which I enjoyed listening to just as much as the first.  If you haven’t listened to the previous book in this series I highly suggest doing that.  It is just as great as this one.  I enjoyed the narrator and what they added to the story.  They made it easy and engaging to listen to.    What happens when you are accident prone and are in need of a protector?  Liam and Teresa are about to find out.  Their story is one that is full of romance and will keep you coming back for more.  The characters have great growth as well as chemistry throughout the story.  I really enjoyed this audio book and I think you will as well.  I highly recommend this audiobook.

This is the second book in this series which is just as great as the first one if not better. I highly suggest reading the previous books as well to help your enhancement of this author’s writing style. I found this book to be well written and full of romance. What happens when you are accident prone and are in need of a protector? Liam and Teresa are about to find out. Their story is one that is hard to put down and will keep you coming back for more. They are great characters where their growth keeps the story engaging and easy to read. There is great chemistry and attraction between them. I really enjoyed these two characters and what they brought to the story. I highly recommend reading their story.

4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Guardsman is book 2 in the Olympic Peninsula series and this was a very enjoyable story. I highly recommend listening to book one, so you can get a backstory on the characters, especially Liam. I also enjoyed that the narrator of this audiobook is also the author as well.

Liam Ryan was originally presumed dead after being caught an explosion in Israel. His twin sister, Ali, never give up hope that he was still alive. When a private investigator finds Liam, Theresa, who is Joe’s sister, brings Liam home. Liam tries to adjust to being “home” with Ali and Joe….while Theresa has her eyes set on Liam. Deep down, Theresa thinks Liam is stunning and she is intrigued.

Sparks fly between Liam and Teresa even when Liam does not want to admit it at first… but when strange occurrences start happening to Teresa, will Liam be there when she needs him the most?

This is a very good story with suspense, romance and intrigue. I am already looking forward to more from this author.

Liam Ryan was presumably dead after being involved in an explosion in Israel. His twin sister, Ali, has been looking for him ever since. Ali and her husband Joe hire a private investigator to seek him out since Ali senses he’s still alive. The PI lets them know that he’s pretty sure he found him but just in case, a family member should go scope him out.

Theresa is the one chosen to go. While she’s not blood kin to Liam, she is Ali’s sister-in-law. Theresa lays an eye on Liam and immediately knows who he is. Once Liam moves back to the States and into a cottage on Ali and Joe’s property, he finds himself playing protector to Theresa. He’s not a fan of people with money, especially the way that Theresa flaunts it around, but sometimes the heart will override all other emotions.

Another stellar read by Cat Treadgold! I do recommend reading this series in order since they build on each other. It would be super helpful to know the progression of the relationships in order of them happening. I look forward to reading the remainder of this family’s stories!!

This is a great book for anyone who likes suspense with a little bit of romance involved. The characters are sweet, without being saccharine, yet realistic without being too gritty. The storyline crosses continents. Readers quickly become absorbed in this family saga. I recommend this book to readers who enjoy learning about other perspectives.

The Guardsman by Cat Treadgold is available now in eBook, Audio book, and Physical Book
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Audio book Review

The Guardsman is the second book in the Olympic Peninsula series. Cat Treadgold grabbed my attention and kept me wanting more throughout this entire book. Her story line is spot on, her characters are lovable, and her narration is enjoyable. Her narration allows you to feel her character’s emotion throughout which is very important to me in an audio book. I highly enjoy romance novels and enjoy it even more when there is some suspense intertwined. The Guardsman definitely did not let me down in this category. I thoroughly enjoyed book number one and book number two in this series is even better. I would recommend this audio book to anyone who loves reading romance with a hint of suspense. You are missing out if you do not read this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh, Teresa and Liam’s story is so relatable. Even though she came from a rich family, her struggles are one’s that many of us can relate to. Now, Liam, that man is hot, sexy mystery and one that would be fun to discover. I sure enjoyed reading their love story. The mystery of where Liam was after the bombing had me on edge wanting to know just as much as Teresa, Ali and Joe. Don’t even get me started on some of the antagonist’s such as Carrie, Ulla, Koli and some of the others.

The writing is wonderful. I found the tone to be a mysterious and suspenseful tone. There was always an air of “the other shoe is going to drop.” The characters were so well-developed and the details of them and in the story made me feel like I was there. This is one of the best romantic suspense series I’ve read this year. You can read them as standalones or in order. I recommend in order. You have to read this series. You won’t be disappointed.

This book is the second in the series and follows on from book one. This book is just as good as the previous one and I was pulled into the story as soon as I started reading. I loved the main characters. Their story, their connection it all felt so relatable and real. The characters are what made this book for me, I wanted to see how things would work out and how they would develop.
The book was well written and has a great pace to it. I like the authors writing style and I will be looking into more of her work for sure. This book was thoroughly enjoyable and I think it is well worth the read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Guardsman is the second book and heartfelt tale in the The Olympic Peninsula series by Cat. This book follows on from the Woodsman where we met Ali and JJ. Just as the first book was it is an interesting story that will have you falling in love with our MC’s.
Cat’s vivid storytelling brings to life the story of a man whose world literally blown apart. Liam Ryan has been lost and is broken but he is trying to put his life back together again with the help of his sister.
He struggles with his new world and hopes to find what it is that may make him whole again. It certainly isn’t the society princess that he comes face to face with.
With frustrations, sometimes hopelessness, hopes and passion sparks fly in this romantic tale.
Teresa has had her fair share of troubles and isn’t what everyone thinks she is. Looking for a place to lay low she finds more than she was bargaining for.

This well-written romance tale should be a must on your reading list.

I cannot wait to see what Cat brings next in the series.

No stranger to adversity, Liam Ryan has also cheated death. He kept himself and his twin sister safe through a tough childhood in the foster care system. Then, at age twenty-four, he took his first trip abroad and was blown up and presumed dead in a terrorist attack. Three years later an investigator locates him working as a security guard in Jerusalem. 

Scarred mentally and physically by his ordeal, Liam needs space to decide what comes next. So he agrees to join his sister Ali and her new husband Joe at their sprawling estate in Port Townsend. Joe’s sister Teresa, fleeing a broken engagement and her controlling mother, also comes to stay. Liam mistrusts rich people, but Teresa, the kind of society princess he would normally avoid at all costs, is hard to resist. Especially when she becomes suspiciously accident prone and in need of a protector.
