I've always liked Robin D. Owens' books and this is no exception. It has a good bit of romance mingled in with a nice fantasy. I'd probably recommend reading the first book first, but it actually probably stands alone pretty well.
I liked Marian and it's was interesting to see how she adapted to her new home. And Tuck, her hamster that came along for the ride, is too cute! Not that he takes over the story, but he's quite cute. I'm still deciding whether I like Jaquar, but I'm leaning towards liking him. This story is more about Marian and her growth.
If you liked Guardian of Honor, I'm sure you'll like this one. They're both good fantasy romance.

I have been eying this set for some times, completely undecided whether I even want to dip my toe into it or not. I liked the universe presented in the related short story that was posted on eHarlequin, but wasn't sure I could handle an entire book that was more fantasy than romance, which was what it appeared to be in the promos/excerpts I've read. So, what is the real balance in the books?
I'd say there's a good bit of romance in it. The romance is key in keeping Marian in Lladrana. Same with the first book.
You can always wait for the MM version, if you aren't sure.
