Review: Unguarded by Charity Parkerson 4 of 5 stars

Unguarded









Unguarded by Charity Parkerson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wolf Yuri’s life has been shaped by mistakes and painful choices, but one act of bravery brought him into the orbit of a powerful godling—and gave him a home, even if that home is in Hell. Surrounded by family for the first time, Yuri still struggles with self-worth, convinced he doesn’t deserve the devotion of Brownie, the rough-and-tumble alpha hellhound who shadows his every moment. Brownie, Lucifer’s guardian hellhound, has always accepted a solitary path despite his strength and status. But meeting Yuri changes everything. To Brownie, Yuri is extraordinary, though Yuri refuses to see it. Both men are blind to the depth of their bond, caught between friendship and something far greater.

I loved this novella which was a story of redemption, belonging, and the courage to recognise love—even when it feels undeserved. I loved that although Yuri’s new “family” is in Hell, it represented the first true sense of belonging he’s ever known. This highlighted how home isn’t about geography or perfection—it’s about finding people who accept you, even in the most unexpected places. I also loved that Brownie embodied strength and dominance, while Yuri embodied fragility and doubt. Yet their relationship flips these dynamics, showing that vulnerability can be powerful and that strength is most meaningful when paired with tenderness. Easy to read and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.
