My Review
“I can’t stop hoping that he’ll wake up and realize that he is worth it. That we are worth it. We are our best together, our souls are meant to be one.”
Loving Ean is the second book in The Fae Guard series by Elle Christensen and is Ean and Laila’s story. Laila has wanted nothing more in life than to be fated to someone and find real love. No one is more surprised than her, when she finds that she is fated to her best friend, Ean. From the moment Ean realized the two of them were fated, he has done nothing but push Laila away. Laila wants nothing more than to prove to Ean that they belong together, but he fights her at every turn. There is only so much one person can take…. Ean wants nothing more than to be the man that Laila wants and needs. But, a past mistake is holding him back, leaving him feeling unworthy of having such a wonderful person in his life. Ean feels that Laila deserves something more, something better and is too blind to see what’s right in front of him. Will Ean come to his senses before it’s too late?
I really enjoyed Loving Ean. Once I stared reading this book, I couldn’t put it down. It was filled with so much angst and romance. It was just the read that I needed. I loved the connection between Ean and Laila. Their feelings towards one another were so undeniable. There was so much push and pull. I just couldn’t get enough.
Ean frustrated me so much. He was a stubborn, stubborn man. He was blinded by the things that he thought should be happening and refused to see the reality of the situation. And Ean is a total alpha male. His mind might be telling him that Laila deserved someone better, however his body didn’t get the memo. He wanted to claim her and make it known that she was his, every time they were together. It was quite enjoyable to watch!!
I felt so bad for Laila. All she wanted was this great love and thought that she had finally found it. She thought that if she could be there for Ean and give him what he needed, that he would see how right they were together. When she loved, she loved hard. She wasn’t one to give up on those who mattered to her.
Loving Ean was a quick and enjoyable read for me. I loved spending more time in the world that Elle Christensen has created. Her characters are fun and entertaining. There’s lots of angst, romance and frustrating moments. As well as funny and steamy moments. All in all, a great paranormal read!
