This was a fabulous read – a paranormal romance with suspense, action, intrigue & mysteries, good guys n bad guys, humor in unexpected places, a menage situation thrown in, and some very special chemistry.
It was also a pleasure to read, as it was clean and well-written. I have come to expect this from author Nia Farrell, but was pleased with the collaboration of author Claire Marta (a new to me author). Very well done!!
I highly recommend this to any lovers of (slightly) steamy PNR, who like a little “twist” thrown in for spice!
Morgan, Zac, and Aidan, what a trio. This is a sexy paranormal romance between the three characters. There is a lot of secrets throughout the book that come tumbling out at the end. It’s an interesting take on a paranormal trope. I did question a few things, but hey it’s fiction so who cares. A definite one click if you like your paranormal steamy and different.
This books is simply amazing, but there’s nothing simple about it. It’s the perfect start to the series, although it’s centered on Morgan, Zac and Aiden, you get a peak of othe characters that will be the center of the other books on the series. In the beginning, I thought this would be the typical paranormal story but there’s nothing normal about it. This trio’s story has an atypical start, but that’s just part of the appeal to the srory. It has drama, sweetness and enough hotness to melt your kindle. Can’t wait for more.
What a fantastic start to a new series! Morgan is an intriguing FMC that is pursuing her degree working on her thesis focused on sexual surrogacy though she was hoping to avoid actually doing it and plans to do her research instead. Her assigned Professor has other ideas though as he assigns her two hot men as patients with her graduation on the line. What she doesn’t know is what they really are instead thinking they belong to some kind of cult of something. Sucking it up she starts their therapy though things quickly take a strange turn as they all fight their attraction. A steamy read that makes for a fun suspenseful adventure fitting a wide range of genres. I really likes it so I give it 4/5 stars.
A different kind of story from Nia Farrell. Claire Marta is a new author to me, so she might have written earlier in this genre.
It was a good one!
I like fantasy in combination with other content..
It got me hooked after a while and Then I had to know more.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
This is the first in the series and my god these ladies started it brilliantly
I couldnt put it down I was so engrossed in the story.
Well done ladies, cant wait to see what’s to come.
Sexy and engaging start to a brand-new paranormal series
—>>> Review Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars – Morgan has a daunting task ahead: to turn two unbeknownst shifter warriors into men capable of attracting mates in order to complete her master’s thesis in sexual surrogacy, using all the skills she has acquired, even her body. Her professionalism does constant battle with her heart, because once their twenty sessions are over, she intends to move on with her career pursuits. The two men realize they are falling for her, and when their enemy makes moves which endanger her, it is more than natural for them to bring her into their Citadel, where she can be safe, but their cadre’s secrets may not stay safe for long. Sexy and engaging start to a brand-new paranormal series is offered in this story, which has secondary characters I am looking forward to reading more of, namely Morgan’s roommate, Casey!
Omg where do I start??! Firstly holy hotness!! This is hot ! Like ‘set your kindle on fire’ hot! I love a ménage story, and this one was so damn good. The characters are so damn loveable- hot, goofy, innocent, protective men and a woman in denial. Boy is she in denial, I hear it’s pretty there lol
Anyway… I got sidetracked! Ok where was I…
Add in the fact that this is book one and I am not gonna lie, I am so freakin excited for the next book. The introduction of the cast and the world building in this book, lead me
to make the hopeful assumption that the following in this series will be as equally spectacular!
I can’t say anymore as I don’t do spoilers- but do yourself a favour, lock the kids outside or at the grandparents and get into this book!
What an amazing read this book turned out to be! The great character and plot development grabbed my attention from the very beginning and the dynamics and the hot chemistry between Morgan, Zac and Aiden kept me totally captivated throughout the entire book!
Morgan tried to act professional with the guys, but way too often she fell victim to their natural charms and sexuality and her attraction to them. The naivete, honesty, openness, and pureness of Zac and Aiden’s interactions with Morgan made my heart swell
and had me constantly laughing. I could just picture them and laugh now!!! The boys are fast learners. Evil forces are at work. Who will win- good versus evil? Fun and games are over when things take a deadly turn. Check it out! Can’t wait to see fiesty Casey cowed by her two mates! Needing book 2 now.
Holy Hell! I wasn’t sure what to expect when reading Morgan as the blurb sounded interesting and wanted to read it. And holy freaking hell this book was absolutely fantastic read. This book will keep you guessing what kind of shifters Zac and Aiden are. Morgan is suspenseful, action, intriguing, mysteries, sexy, passion and so damn freaking hot that you need a fan to cool off. I love this book and can not absolutely wait for book 2.
I thank the author for providing a copy for review.

I absolutely love all of Ms Marta’s work but Ms Farrell is a new author to me. The characters were well developed and the storyline is hot, steamy and intriguing. I mean what woman wouldn’t want to be sandwiched between two hot and sexy after men, that’s just where Morgan find herself when she is doing her thesis. Zac and Aiden had to seek counseling in regard to their sensitivity towards women and it blossomed from there with being assigned to Morgan for relationship training. But all is not as it seems in regards to Zac and Aiden and Morgan can’t quite put her finger on what makes them so different aside from the obvious lack of dating skills. The guys are fast learners and try to move faster than Morgan has designed their 20 sessions but Morgan is also caught up in their magnetism. Will they all be together once she learns Zac and Aiden’s secrets? Will good prevail versus evil and all come out unscathed? I can’t wait for the next installment of the series, Casey is a pistol and I want to know how she deals with her two men!!
Well, the premise of this book was really different and refreshing. A group of supernatural and exceedingly gorgeous men are looking for women to procreate, but they have no prior experience or knowledge of the female of the species.
I love the irony of Aiden and Zak’s situation: two panty-melting guys who are using all the wrong reference material to attract the fairer sex. Morgan is brought in to provide hands-on educational support. I have to be honest and say I had to do a search to find out the meaning of sexual surrogacy… anyway she’s beautiful and smart she’s doing a thesis on surrogacy with Aiden and Zak as her subjects. The attraction between all three sizzles, and I loved the protectiveness and innocence of the two guys. Plus there are plenty more where the two would-be lovers come from, and they are all equally hot.
I am not sure how I felt about the role of Morgan as a student attending University in these circumstances. I struggled a bit to believe that a student would be encouraged to take on the role of surrogate teacher where the success of her studies involved a more practical approach to the subject. But as always I appreciate this is book world, so no harm done.
This was a thoroughly entertaining, intriguing and at time suspenseful story with a good helping of heat!! I look forward to reading more in the series…I received an advanced copy of this book from the authors
3.5 Stars
An interesting opening to the series, the book was slow to start and there was a lot to learn about the characters. Zac & Aiden are both looking for a suitable partner and need a little help with their relationship skills, Morgan is assigned as their sexual surrogate to assist with this. A very erotic story, sometimes the story was overlooked in place of the sex scenes which was a shame as I thought the actual storyline was very interesting and the final section of the book was particularly gripping. I would have liked more of that drama, it will be interesting to see how this develops across the series.
This is the first book in the Guarded Heart series. Morgan is a graduate student and she’s been given a special assignment to supplement her thesis topic. Wouldn’t we all like to have her kind of research? Damn. To teach two hot virgin hunks who know nothing about women how to date and have a sexual relationship? It makes me breathe heavily just to write that!
Her research with Zac and Aiden initially is a project, but soon she finds herself enjoying this sexual fantasy a bit too much and starting to fall for the two men. She doesn’t realize until way late that they are shapeshifters and that they believe she’s destined to be their mate. This paranormal erotic menage romance is unbelievably hot – with plenty of panty-melting scenes – and has lots of surprise twists involving these supernatural creatures and others. Her roommate Casey is a badass and I can’t wait to read about what kind of romantic mischief she gets into in an upcoming book in this series.
HMMMMM, what an interesting story in Morgan by Claire Marta and Nia Farrell. This book is the first in the Guarded Heart series and continues with the second book, Casey. The story starts off a little slow in the first five chapters, but it starts moving and becomes erotically enticing. The story is a unique and naughty paranormal romance and will easily hold your attention. With an unusual story line, it is well written and entertaining. 4 stars for Morgan.
Morgan Leviss is working towards her master’s in psychology and working at a counseling center. Morgan is assigned to be a sexual surrogate for two gorgeous men, Aiden and Zac. The two men need to learn how to interact with women and eventually find a mate, their race depends on it. Morgan is determined to help the men even though she has no idea that she is gradually falling in love with two shifters. Aiden and Zac will do everything thing they can to keep her safe from the growing dangers in the community and to ensure that Morgan realizes that she is indeed their mate.
Good book
