Protecting Shaylee
(The Fae Guard, #1)

ABOUT Protecting Shaylee:
Shaylee
As a child, I believed in the fairytales my father told me.
Until he was gone and with him, that belief.
As a girl, I believed in the friendship and protection of Aden.
He made be begin to believe again.
As a woman, I believed in the possibility of love and passion between myself and Aden.
Until he was gone and with him, my belief in magic and happy endings.

Aden
When she was a child, I was tasked with her protection.
As a girl, I became her friend.
As a woman, I could no longer see the child I knew and was forced to fight a growing attraction.
Unable to lie and unable to tell the truth, I left.
Now I’ve returned to give the knowledge I couldn’t before, that she is half Fae.
The darkness is stalking her and I am desperate to teach her what she needs to know to protect herself.
And determined to make her mine.

Review by: ERIN 

I am not normally a paranormal fan, but this book made me a believer! All of these characters were awesome! I loved the storyline. Shaylee’s father was preparing her without her knowing it. I love how the author made the Fae seem like normal people. They act just like humans. Their “land” is not back in the dark ages. They have cars and all the other good stuff there too. For Shaylee, that helps. It seems more like home and I think that helps her with her “conversion”. Shaylee takes to being a Fae like a fish to water. Aden is great. He can be serious, but underneath he is just a fun-loving goofball. He kept me in tears laughing. And good lord can he talk dirty! The chemistry between them is scorching and you will need a fire extinguisher handy. They have a few ups and downs, but overall their relationship is effortless. I loved Fate. She is a potty mouthed woman who tells it like it is. She also kept me laughing. All of the supporting characters were great and I hope each one gets their story and HEA. There were a few twists I didn’t see coming and pulled me into the story that much further. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this story!!!!

EXCERPT:
Shaylee

                 Aden is back against the wall and grasps my waist, bringing me close until I’m standing within the V of his legs, cradled to his chest. I give in for the moment and snuggle into his heat. He kisses the top of my head, then my forehead, each of my eyes, my nose, and finally, brushes a sweet kiss across my lips. Tucking me back into his chest, he sets his chin on my head and exhales a sigh. “I’ll try to rein it in.” My eyes fly up to his and although I know the words coming from his mouth are sincere, I see it blatantly in his eyes and all my irritation recedes.
His eyes probe mine, and I see the desire lurking in their depths as well. “Despite your stubborn resistance to admitting it out loud, we both know you’re mine. Body, heart, and soul, we belong together. You’re also mine to protect, Shaylee, and I can’t do that if I’m not there. I need you with me like I need air to breathe, baby.”
My lungs are choked with emotion at his words. I want to let go and fall into him completely, but my wounds are still a little raw and I need time for them to heal. I lift my eyes and contemplate what I see in the green jade staring down at me.
“I’m not ready, Aden. I’ll stay close and let you protect me. But, I’m not ready to open up my heart and soul to you. I don’t think I can survive having it broken again.” I place my finger on his lips to keep him from protesting. “Give me time.”
He studies me, searching my face for something, and I know he wants to continue the discussion. My insides uncoil with relief when he brushes his nose against mine and releases me. “Go, baby. Get inside before I throw you over my shoulder and spend the night convincing you. I’ll meet you in the training room around ten in the morning.” He nods toward the door. I back away slowly, open my door, and duck inside. As I close it, I look out again and see Aden watching me longingly. “I’m serious, baby, shut that door right now or you’ll be spending the night without any sleep.” I shake my head in mock exasperation, but grin at him as I shut the door. I lean heavily back on it and my body slides languidly down to the floor. I hear a thump and the sound of fabric rustling. My lips curl up when I realize that Aden is sitting as I am, on the other side of my door.

Aden’s voice is muffled when he groans, “You’d better lock the fucking door, Shaylee.” A giggle escapes my mouth as I stand and flip the lock before I walk away.




Loving Ean
(The Fae Guard, #2)

ABOUT Loving Ean:
Laila
All of my life, I dreamt of my own fairy tale romance.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered that my soul mate was a lifelong friend.
Ean is everything I want and everything I need.
But, my romance has become a fractured fairy tale.
Ean has pulled away and let his pain engulf him, leaving no room for me.
I want to heal him and bring him back to me.
But, if he won’t let me, I will move on.
I will find another destiny.

Ean
Laila is the best part of me, the light in my soul.
She is my destiny.
I want to give her all that I am, all that I have.
But, the guilt and pain from my mistake has ruined me,
I am not worthy of her and I will not drag her down into my Hell.
My love for her is forever.
But, she deserves some one who isn't broken.
So, I’ll watch her walk away, into the arms of another.

Review by: ERIN 

This series just keeps getting better. Ean and Laila light the pages up with their off the charts chemistry. HOT, HOT, HOT! Ean will make you blush with his dirty talking! The story of Laila and Ean is a little more serious. Ean is fighting the pull toward Laila because he feels he is unworthy of having her in his life. But he just can’t seem to stay away. She is his solace. Laila feels the pull to Ean and is settling for what he will give her. She wants more, but doesn’t want to push him. Their story is beautiful. Aden and Shaylee are still around and bringing some comic relief. Fate is in there too and she just keeps me in fits of laughter. The story flows effortlessly even with the twists and turns that in there. I was unable to put this down. I had to see Ean and Laila get their HEA. Ready and waiting (maybe not so patiently) for the next book in the series.

5 Stars 
Review by: AMY E

Loving Ean blew me away.  The writing was excellent, the storyline pulled me in and kept a tight hold, and the characters jumped off the pages.  Ean was the dark, broody alpha that I love.  Leila was a rock of support, love, and understanding.  Together they were so hot I expected to see steam coming from my kindle.

The supporting characters were so well written they balanced the story perfectly.  Giving humor, support, and understanding to Ean and Leila.  While simultaneously making me ache to hear their stories.  Plus the continued look into Aden and Shaylee's story settled questions I had left after book one.

Overall an enchanting read that I couldn't put down.  That answered some questions while brining up even more unanswered ones.  Leaving me eager for the next book in the series.

Excerpt:
Ean

            “Ean!”
            My eyes fly open and I jackknife up in bed, pain searing on my chest. Laila has got ahold of my nipples and she is twisting them tight, shooting pain straight to my belly. What the hell?
            “What the fuck, Ean?” She’s screeches. I’m desperately trying to get her to relieve the pressure from her evil little fingers, so I don’t answer right away. This seems to piss her off even more, but to my relief, she releases my abused nubs. I rub my chest gingerly, trying to alleviate some of the pain. She’s once again straddling me, her hands tugging at her hair, clearly freaking out about something. Laila angry is hot as hell. Laila angry while she sits naked, astride my morning hard on? Said hard on has turned into a steel baseball bat.
            “Baby, calm down. What’s the matter?” I soothe. I move slightly to try and find a more comfortable spot, but my cock is so hard, it doesn’t matter.
            Laila freezes and glares down at the offending appendage. “Seriously?” Her fiery green eyes meet mine, and it does absolutely nothing to help the situation. I do, however, get a little concerned for the future state of my cock when she glances down menacingly. Lucky for us both, she rolls her eyes and climbs off of me, and then the bed.
            “It’s morning, baby. You were sitting on me naked. Did you really expect no reaction to that?” Her expression darkens a little but then lets up, because she knows I’m right. “Now, what’s got you so worked up?”
            Most likely trying to avoid yelling again, Laila’s mouth clamps shut, her face turning red, and points to a spot on the bed next to me. I look to where she is referring to and see a spot of dried moisture on the sheets. I return my gaze to her, confused, “What? That spot?”
            Laila growls in frustration and tugs at her hair once again. “You didn’t use a fucking condom, Ean!”
            The realization stuns me. I have never forgotten a condom, not even with Laila. Particularly with Laila, actually. There was no way I was going to get her pregnant and leave, so I’d been extra vigilant. I guess now that I’d decided to be with her, it wasn’t so prevalent on my mind. But, I’m not Aden, (don’t give me that look. I’m not insulting the guy. That he was a total dumbass is fact) I don’t want to get Laila pregnant so she’ll be tied to me just because we are having a kid. I almost shudder at the thought of kids anyway. I want them, don’t get me wrong. Right now, though? The idea scares the shit out of me.
            I scrub my hands over my face tiredly; it’s too early in the morning for this shit. “I’m sorry, Laila. I’ve never forgotten before. It had been so long, and you were just so fucking beautiful, I guess I just got carried away. I’m sorry, truly.”

            A little of the fire backs away and she looks somewhat mollified. “Well, it’s really a moot point anyway, right? I’m on the pill and it’s not like this will happen again.” Pain knifes through me at her words, but I know I deserve it. I’ll change her mind.

MEET Elle Christensen:

I’m a lover of all things books, a hopeless romantic, and have always had a passion for writing. Between being a sappy romantic, my love of an HEA, my crazy imagination, and ok, let’s be real, my dirty mind, I fell easily into writing romance. 
I’m a huge baseball fan and yet, a complete girly, girl. I’m an obsessive reader and have a slight (hahaha! Slight? Yeah, right) addiction to signed books. 
I’m married to my very own book boyfriend, an alpha male with a sexy, sweet side. He is the best inspiration, my biggest supporter and the love of my life. He is also incredibly patient and understanding about the fact that he has to fight the voices in my head for my attention. 
I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoyed writing them!
