A cross-country trip through regency England brings intrigue, rogues, and high adventure.

The must-listenconclusion to Michelle Griep’s Bow Street Runners Trilogy: Life couldn’t be better for Abigail Gilbert-but it’s been a long time in coming. Having lived with a family who hated her, it’s finally her time for love. Abby sets off on a journey across England to marry one of the most prestigious gentlemen in the land-until highwaymen upset her plans and threaten her life.

Horse patrol captain Samuel Thatcher arrives just in time to save Abby. But she’s simply another victim in a job he’s come to despise. Tired of the dark side of humanity, he intends to buy land and retire.

Abby pleads with him to escort her for the rest of her journey. He refuses-until she offers him something he desperately needs to achieve his goal...money. Delivering her safely will give him more than enough to buy property.

So begins an impossible trek for the cynical lawman and the proper lady. Each will be indelibly changed by the time they reach her betrothed, if they don’t kill one another first-or fall in love.

I thought this was incredibly well written. I loved the audio version. I very much enjoyed the book.

Throughly enjoyed!

Excellent book, the narrative is so well done! Action packed and with romance to pull at your heartstrings !

Clean, well written, and performed read

Couldn't stop listening. Well written and well performed. Author kept me interested the whole time. It was clean and had depth for a 'fun' read. highly recommend this book and performer. Looking forward to reading more by this author.

Especially Wonderful!!!

I have been waiting a long time for this book and I saved it for a time that I could listen and savor it. And yes, it was WORTH THE WAIT. I adored the Captain’s character and the narrator did a FANTASTIC job of his voice. I could listen to her voices all day long. Abby was such a lovable heroine, rose-glasses and all.
The narrator was outstanding—I will have to find more of her stuff. And the author, Ms Griep, is my FAVORITE. Everything from her pen is my new very favorite book. She writes beautifully— the scenes she describes of the English countryside and the wayside inns allow my mind to travel through time and place. The speech she writes is authentic and will have you swooning in parts. Modern English is so bare and boring after you listen to the language from long ago. This book was especially full of authentic details and well-written prose. The Noble Guardian is an absolutely, especially wonderful audio book!

Got a bit religious at times

It got a bit religious at times but all in all it was truly a great story. Very descriptive and really delved into the characters conflicted feelings.

Wonderful Story and great narration.

I want to find a Samuel Thatcher for myself. Every woman needs a “Noble Guardian”.

Captain Samuel Thatcher!

Captain Samuel Thatcher is the best!!! I truly fell in love with the people in this story. They do not feel fictional, though I know they are. This book is more than a 5 star read/listen! This is one of my favorite books of the year!
My heart hurt for Abigail. Unloved by her father and mistreated by her step-mother, she still has hope. Hope for a better life with her betrothed Sir Jonathan. She only met him once but he asked for her hand and her father gladly gave it. She has an inner strength I'm not sure she was aware of, and she is very persistent.
Captain Thatcher is longing to retire from Bow Street, buy some property and live a simpler life. He only needs a bit more money. My goodness, the man is the most swoon-worthy hero. Strong, rugged, handsome (despite his scars), loyal, caring, gentle, and always does the right thing. I love the way he says "thunder and turf" when he is upset.
He is after one of the worst men around, Shankhart Robbins, an evil demon. Shankhart is after Thatcher too, for reasons I can't say without spoilers.
When Captain Thatcher meets Miss Gilbert, well let me just say he's met his match. She is stubborn about doing things her way and she convinces him to help her. The adventure begins!
The journey is fraught with danger and a few unexpected moments of light-heartedness. But it is a journey well worth taking. I highly recommend this book! I am so glad Michelle Griep wrote Thatcher's story.

Faith, Heartbreak and Hope

I've enjoyed this three book series of Michelle Griep the story lines keeps you wanting more. Danger around every corner or bend in the road. But through it all Faith and Hope is just a look towards the heavens.

Surprise Adventure

This is a good moving adventure. It is worth the credit.. It’s my first venture with this author.

Give me that ole time Christian Romance

I love the fact that is no smut in the story line. I love the faith the main characters have. I love the chivalry.
The only thing I didn’t care for was the sound of male characters voice. His voice could of been so much better. I still loved the book.
