About this listen
Nuara Breckenridge hates Berrit Kallis. He’s arrogant and irresponsible and has the most punch-able face she’s ever seen. She’s an Adept, and her super strength and durability mean that he shouldn’t be able to get under her skin. But he’s Adept, too, and his ability to irritate is beyond superhuman.
But when someone threatens their city, Berrit is the only other person who takes it seriously. So seriously, in fact, that he wants to team up with Nua to stop this stranger from destroying their home.
Working with Berrit is infuriating, but it’s also kind of fun. Tempers run hot, but passions run hotter as Nua grudgingly warms to this man she hates. Already overwhelmed by their shifting dynamic, Nua must also grapple with disturbing revelations about her family’s ties to the danger she’s fighting to stop.
Given their past at each other’s throats—and their present in each other’s beds—can she trust Berrit to watch her back, or will he stab her there instead?
Guardian Adept is a standalone, science-fantasy romance featuring the Enemies-to-Lovers trope.

Since Jake’s inability to connect with others had made him somewhat of an outcast for most of his life, he’d learned to divert his energy into his artistic talent, creating mesmerizing images capable of literally paralyzing anyone who should gaze upon them.

Great on all fronts
This was a great story with original world building. I’d have loved for it to be longer but I’ll just have to hit up the next ones. It didn’t keep me up obsessing about it but was a great story with great narration.

Standalone Sci-Fi/Fantasy!
4.25 ⭐️
Finalllllly a standalone sci-fi/fantasy/dystopian book!! Sometimes I avoid this genre because I just can’t commit to 5+ books in the series (even though I always end up loving them), so when I saw that this was a standalone I was stoked!
Nua and Berrit are both Adepts, people who are extra strong in their post-apocalyptic world, and have essentially become the military of their city. When they find out that a supercharged Adept is living outside the walls of their city, they start training to take her down, and of course fall in love in the process.
Nua was a total firecracker, I loved her take-no-shit and give-no-fucks personality. Berrit was the sweet and down-to-earth sidekick she needed to balance her out. I love a good training/sparring montage and this book had plenty of it.
It was a quick read, which I appreciated, but it doesn’t lend itself to nearly as much world building or build-up tension as most fantasy books have. I was okay with that because, again, standalone! But I think if it had been about 100 pages longer, it could’ve fleshed out a few things to make them even more compelling. Overall though, it was a fun story and I really liked all the characters, even if it wasn’t an earth-shattering plot concept.
The narrator, Skye Alley, did a great job with it (except her 7 year old boy voice could use some work - I thought he was supposed to be about 17 until they said his age) and I wouldn’t hesitate to listen to another book by her.
Thank you to the author Emily Poirier for the free audiobook in exchange for my honest review!
