Blurb
Ryker is a paladin. An ancient knight, born to
protect those precious few who hold powers over the elements. He is bound by honour,
courage and loyalty. But when tragedy strikes he forsakes everything he stands
for, vowing never to serve again. He opens his home to other rejected and
dishonoured knights … but never his heart. That is, until a sarcastic,
sword-wielding, miniature Warden barges into his life, bringing chaos and
mayhem to his carefully ordered world.
Will he forgive himself for past mistakes? Or will
old wounds continue to scar his future?
Max is different. She has a strange affinity to
nature and finds herself constantly causing disasters wherever she goes. What’s
more, strange creatures stalk her every step, their relentless pursuit driving
her to the brink of exhaustion. Stumbling upon a gaggle of hot ancient knights
seems too good to be true but she can’t deny they have the answers she’s
looking for. Too bad their Captain is a growly, insensitive jerk who insults
her every time he opens his gorgeous mouth.
Should she trust her instincts and allow herself to
hope for the first time in her life? Or will her fierce independence cause her
to lose the one thing she has always craved? A home.

Review
Okay, so I have a confession.
*clears her throat and
looks around sheepishly*
I met the author of Warden through the street team of
another author quite a while ago and added it to my Goodreads TBR. But I kept putting it off. And off.
And off. I had a case of the “oh
look squirrel!” syndrome, the cover didn’t interest me (sorry Montana!). Yes, this was a case of judging the book by its
cover. Oh put your whips and chains
away. I regret it now and you will too
if you let this one slip you by!
Take a feisty, pint-sized woman drop her in the midst of a
bunch of warriors including a grumpy, alpha male with a stick up his rear and
what do you get? Warden. It was an explosion of one-liners and banter
that kept me grinning and giggling throughout the book. Max, the heroine, is my spirit animal. Alone for most of her life, she’s a survivor
and takes no crap from anyone not even a bunch of pretty men and women who have
been around the block a time or two.
Ryker is the unofficial leader of the ragtag bunch of warriors Max has
stumbled amongst. He’s got a world of
guilt sitting on his shoulders and a stick the size of Everest up his bum. The two clash and the chemistry sizzles. The other warriors add doses of humor into
the mix while Montana Ash builds an intriguing world of magic. I can’t wait to see what kind of trouble the
group gets into next. - Peace and Love, Buxom J
Excerpt
He
was just walking past the window to grab his clothes when a flash of flesh from
below caught his eye. Cali was dressed in her usual tight shorts and sports bra
but it wasn’t the sight of the willowy blonde that had him freezing in his
tracks. No it was the shorter, curvier red head, dressed in tights and a
belly-revealing singlet top. She was bending over, head flush with her knees,
arms wrapped her legs with all that glorious hair brushing along the ground. So
much for negative reinforcement, he thought as he glared accusingly at his once
again rigid dick. The woman’s arse was a thing of beauty, all round and firm,
and his hands literally flexed with the need to touch. As if sensing his gaze,
Max whipped herself upright, her turquoise gaze latching onto his form that was
no doubt outlined perfectly in the early morning light. Hell, the window he was
standing at was even arch-shaped, like he was posing for some cheesy romance
novel or something. Panicking and acting purely in self-preservation rather than
rational thought, he allowed his limbs to go loose and face-planted on the
floor below the window.
For the next five minutes he could do no more than mewl like a kitten …
he had landed directly on his stiff cock.
Author Bio
Her overactive (and overindulged) imagination could only take so much before the many voices wanted out. Thus, Montana's journey into the wonderful world of writing.
