Book Review: Guardian of Paradise

November 5, 2016

The Guardian of Paradise written by W.E. Lawrence was published in October 3, 2014. It has 360 pages and the genre is Romance. Looking at the cover, the author seems to target young adults.

In 1888, Kira Wall, surviving daughter of missionaries swept away in a tsunami, lives a primitive, but enjoyable life with natives on an isolated island in the South Pacific. But her serene world is turned upside down when an Australian merchant ship, commanded by the sinister Captain Darcy Coleman, arrives with an overabundance of modern and lavish goods. Kira suspects ill intent. Chief Ariki refuses to listen to Kira’s warning, forcing her to uncover the real plan of the captain on her own. Unfortunately, she has a distraction. A six-foot tall, blond, and handsome distraction. Trevor Marshall, doctor and botanist, hopes to find exotic plants on the island to research new cures and medicines. He is dedicated to science, but when meeting the strong-willed, beautiful Kira Wall, he’d prefer to spend time researching her—all night.

The captain thwarts Kira’s attempts to call him out at every step, turning the village chief against her. With only Trevor and her best friend Malana by her side, she stalks the captain and his officers through the dense, predator infested jungle, toward the island’s inactive volcano. Frustrated by her failure to reveal the captain’s true intentions, Kira begins to think maybe she’s wrong about everything. Then an explosion and earthquake bigger than anyone on the island has ever seen renews her resolve. Was the blast natural or man-made? She is determined to prove it was the captain’s doing. Kira races against time and the island people’s naivety to stop the captain from destroying her home and killing everyone she loves.

I believe the author has blended romance, action, and beautiful scenery just perfectly. After reading a few chapters, I felt that the author has intended it for young adults. Just my kind of genre. Although the books is a very sweet romance, it has an adventurous plot that will surely make the readers hooked. The story is a bit similar to the famous Disney’s Pocahontas and John Smith. If you find their love story interesting, then this book is a must read for you!
