Guardian Angel: Callaghan Brothers, Book 5 Kindle Edition
They call him the Iceman. The eldest of seven brothers, he is the biggest. The coldest. The meanest.
No one has been able to break through the icy shield Kane Callaghan has built around himself. No one except the tiny, stubborn woman willing to sacrifice herself for him. She haunts his dreams, but he has no idea who she is. Where she is. Or if he’ll ever see her again.
Rebecca Harrison spent the last twelve years with humanitarian relief organizations, travelling to some of the hardest hit areas of the world, but none has ever affected her as much as that tiny village in Africa. Because of him.
Fierce and beautiful and terrible, she can’t get him out of her mind. Kane. The avenging archangel who appeared out of nowhere, saving her from a fate worse than death. The one she was forced to leave behind.
Worlds apart, they are bound by the events of that one horrible night, though the chances of ever meeting again are too small to dare even hope. Of course, neither one realizes just how clever Fate can be…

No man is an island. But an ice floe... maybe
Kane Callaghan is not a people person. He prefers to live in solitude at the family mountain compound and has little tolerance for... well, anything. Fortunately for him, Rebecca Harrison sees a side of him no one else does, and she might be the only woman on earth capable of melting the ice around the eldest Callaghan's heart.

From the Author
The Callaghan Brothers is a series, but I hold to my promise: no cliffhangers, ever. Each book is a story in itself, and focuses on a different Callaghan brother. You don't need to read book 1 to read book 2. The books are in chronological order, though (i.e., book 2 happens after book 1), so there are references in later releases to things that occurred in earlier books.
The Callaghan Brothers Series, in order:
- Dangerous Secrets (Jake)
- First and Only (Ian)
- House Calls (Michael)
- Seeking Vengeance (Sean)
- Guardian Angel (Kane)
- Beyond Affection (Shane)
- Having Faith (Kieran)
- Bottom Line (Aidan)
- Forever Mine (Jack)
- Two of a Kind (Spencer)
- Not Quite Broken (Brian)
- All Wrong (Nick)
- Home Team Advantage (Matt - Callaghan Brothers / Long Road Home crossover)

- Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2024Wow! Another FANTASTIC story by Abbie! This story is about Kane and Rebecca. Their first meeting was definitely under dire circumstances. They saved each other's life. She knew his first name but he didn't know hers. A few months later they meet again at another disaster. Rebecca is a kind hearted soul whereas Kane is called Iceman. Even his brothers were scared of him at times but Rebecca was able to defrost his heart and soul. The time they were separated, they were both miserable plus Rebecca was healing from a beating where she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Loved when they found their way back to each other and actually eloped. So happy that Kane found his soul mate. FANTASTIC job Abbie! I would recommend this book!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2015I absolutely loved this story. I knew Kane's story was going to be good, but this was the best, most fantabulous and heartwrenching one by far.
We met and fell in love with the gruff loaner in Jake and Tarryn's story, but I wasn't sure who could fill the shoes of his croie. Rebecca was perfect. She is sweet and kind but also happy to be a loner with Kane.
Abbie Sanders you have mad skills. At 75% (a very crucial part) fireworks started going off outside my window. Not right outside my window, but down the street and around the corner, but seriously close. How Abbie managed to do that at that crucial moment was just plain magic. Ok, maybe the circus that had just come to town was really the reason, but literally at a VERY crucial moment fireworks were zinging.
Another wonderful installment in the Callaghan Brothers series. I felt emotionally attached to the characters and definitely wanted them to get their HEA. Can't wait to read more.
Ms Zanders, I'm thinking with that little sneaky peak into Aiden's "lifestyle choices" you should definitely consider writing his story...very intriguing.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2015This is the fifth book in Abbie Zander's fantastic Callaghan Brothers series. She has penned an absolute winner in this series about 7 Irish brothers, all former Navy SEALs, as they find and fall for their one woman, their croie - heart and soulmate. Along the way, she has given us action, suspense, passion, steam and deep, true love. It's fast become a favorite series for me.
This book is about the oldest of the Callaghan brothers, Kane, known as The Iceman for his cool, cold detachment, especially during a mission. Kane is the defacto leader of the family, aside from the father, patriarch Jack Callaghan. He always protected his brothers, saving the worst, most horrific assignments related to their covert black ops company for himself, thus saving his brothers the mental trauma and anguish. With 4 of his brothers now married or about to be married, he has scaled back the family operation a bit, as he doesn't want to responsible for one of his brothers not coming home.
While on a mission, he rescues, and is in turn rescued by, a woman, who, at first glance, he assumes is a nun. She is unlike any woman he has ever encountered. She does not shrink away from his scowl, she does not back down from his harshly delivered instructions to go on without him. She refuses to leave him behind, and she tends to his wounds, goading him to gather his strength and lean on her so they both can get out of there. Once they get to safety, she surprises him by not getting in the vehicle to get to the safety of their base. No, she gets him in the vehicle, turns and runs back into danger to try to help whomever may still be alive. He is furious, but she is already gone.
Rebecca Harrison, former heiress, has been an aid worker for the last 12 years, traveling to dangerous, poverty stricken places and having left her life as an extremely wealthy debutante long behind. She has seen more than her fair share of horrible, soul-marking things in her travels. Running from gunmen who raided the impoverished, remote village where she and the nuns worked to offered whatever aid they could, Rebecca is saved by Kane, and then, almost immediately, turns around returning the favor by saving him. She leaves him safely with his brothers, thinking she will never see him again. Months later, on the way to visit her brother, Aiden, Lexi Callaghan's boss and friend of the Callaghan family, she shows up in Pine Ridge during a major flooding event just as they're setting up an evacuation center in the local school. Becca immediately rolls up her sleeves to help. Hours later she gets the shock of a lifetime when she turns around and Kane is there. They begin a beautiful friendship that soothes and heals them both. These two just get each other in a way that no one else does, and they need each other. Becca needs Kane's darkness as much as Kane needs Becca's lightness. Becca is in love with him, and he with her, but Kane will not allow himself to love or be loved. He is too dark, and mistakenly, he believes he needs to protect her from his darkness. When Becca finally draws the courage to take that first step, Kane shuts her down, humiliatingly, devastatingly, cruelly so. Later that same night, Becca is horribly assaulted, and her brother and friends watch with increasing concern as the vibrant woman she once withers away as she is overcome by the pain of losing Kane and fear following her attack. It is during this time that Kane realizes what he has found, and let go of, in Becca. She is his "one," his croie - his heart, his soulmate.
I have come to truly adore this series, and this author. Abbie Zanders is a very talented storyteller. She has created a fantastic series here that is well written, with interesting, intense and intriguing plots, characters that you can't help but pull for and true, soul deep love stories. I can't say enough about this series! Zanders is without question a one-click author for me! I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for book 6!!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2023I know I shouldn't! I know it's wrong to pick a favorite, but KANE. How could he not be a favorite?!? The Callaghan men (and Abbie) never fail to deliver but there's just something about the broody, quiet, shows-his-love-through-his-actions-rather-than-words man meeting his person that slays me.
Kane is the oldest brother of the Callaghan clan who meets, saves and immediately loses (temporarily - Abbie would NOT do that to us!) the intriguing Rebecca while on a mission. He's lucky enough to find her again and the slow-burn friendship to romance they have warms your heart before he mucks it up (insert sigh, men!) and breaks your heart. But don't worry, Abbie delivers on the HEA by providing us with a worthy mate in Rebecca who is also quietly strong and understands her worth enough to survive the heartbreak, an attack (gasp! insert plot twist) and know that if you love someone and let them go, sometimes they come back after doing the work to deserve you and bring some seriously delicious sexy times!
One-click this one, you won't regret it!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2023These stories get better and better! I don't know which one I love the best. The love between Kane and Rebecca goes off the rails in the most unpredictable way possible. I knew their tale would be colossal...OMG! I'm laughing, I'm crying, I'm cringing and then applauding. The book has it all. Enjoy!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2024Since being introduced to Kane in the first book, I have looked forward to Kane's story. Great writing, and very swoony! Loved this story.

5.0 out of 5 stars … and the Iceman smiled!!
Inhalt:
Als ältester der Callaghan Brüder war es immer Kanes Aufgabe, sich um seine Brüder zu sorgen, dies beinhaltete für ihn auch, dass er die schwierigsten Aufgaben ihrer gemeinsamen Missionen übernahm und besonders seit 4 seiner Brüder ihre Seelengefährtinnen gefunden hatten, sorgte er sich noch mehr darum, dass sie alle heil nach Hause kamen.
Kein Wunder, dass alle in seiner Umgebung ihn den Iceman nennen, denn um mit all den Eindrücken, Erfahrungen… zurecht zu kommen, zieht Kane sich immer mehr zurück, braucht seine Ruhe, am liebsten weit weg von allem Trubel in seiner Hütte in den Bergen.
Als er bei ihrer letzen Mission einer Nonne das Leben rettet und dafür sorgt, dass sie nicht auch erschossen wird, gerät sein Leben immer mehr aus den Fugen, denn Nonne hin oder her, er kann ihre Augen, ihre Haare, ja sogar ihren Geruch nicht vergessen!
Aber darf man von einer Nonne träumen?
….
Fazit:
Wer Wortwitz, viel Gefühle, Alphamänner und ihre (nicht weniger alpha) Frauen mag, der ist hier wieder bestens aufgehoben. Mittlerweile fühlt man sich bei den Callaghans fast zu Hause, man kennt die Brüder, ihre Frauen, die Kneipe, ihre Leidenschaft… und kommt gerne wieder :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars hot alpha- great story
What a great book! I liked Kane's silent, alpha personality and Rebecca's integrity to do what she felt was her destiny. Lots of depth in the characters- we got introduced to the fun sister in laws. I liked that Kane was patient and supportive of Rebecca.
The heat between these two was great! Lots of hot scenes near the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for anyone, ,
Oh Abbie sanders you did it again didn’t you?! You just had to melt our hearts with kanes story.. all the brothers storyline are amazing and keeps you on your toes, a little flustered under the collar at times. But kanes story is my favourite, shhh don’t tell the other brothers haha, Kane has so much responsibility he takes on his shoulders and I’m so glad he got his happy ever after it took some time for him but boy when he realises there’s no escaping his fate for this woman you can’t help but wish him happiness, he maybe the iceman on the outside but a marshmallow underneath, I wish us woman could find these men In real life, but thank the lord we can escape our reality world for a while and hide away with the Callaghan brothers , Abbie gave plenty of warning on foul language and some scenes are on the steamy side but who cares at least we can decide if we want to read it or not I’m not a huge fan of the graphic storylines in some other authors books but that’s my choice to buy it or not and if you like the stories of the alpha man and strong heroin woman what’s a little steam amongst the pages aye. We’re all adults and we choose to read or not but for me personally you go Abbie sanders another great series, I love to re-read over and over again and can’t believe I miss bits every time and think I didn’t read that but last time? I would love more of the callaghans stories one of the best top 3 series out there in my opinion for 2023 well forever really..! You won’t be disappointed you will giggle, laugh out loud, she’d a tear or a million, want to beat someone upside of head and say really?!, and in all of it you’ll just come to love them and want to protect them they’ll become so ingrained when reading it it’s like your there
If it ever came to the tv I’d be glued constantly to the screen . Love it, love it, love it !!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW can't get enough of the Callaghan's
Another great read I can't fault any of the books in this series. The Callaghan brothers are every girls dream. Kane is so sweet underneath that tough exterior and he has gone through a lot more than his brothers. Every story has kept you on your toes, will they wont they, what danger are they going to be in, are they going to get hurt, this includes the women as well. It's also good that each book updates you on the brothers and their wives and the pregnancies of each of them. Next book is Shane's story can't wait to read it another late night.
