First of all, let me just tell you how excited I was that there were quotes from The Labyrinth in Chasing Hayleigh! One of my all time favorite movies!! So excited!

Okay. Back on track.

Hayleigh has lived a hard life, pushed aside by everyone that was supposed to love her. But she now has friends, people she might be able to fully trust with her secrets.

Brannon has waited four years for Hayleigh to be ready for a relationship. He's not going to wait any longer, but will his secrets destroy him and any chance he has at happiness?

I enjoyed Elle Christensen's writing style, how easy it was to picture what was happening with the characters and their relationships. Not just their romantic relationships but also the friendship between all of the characters.

Brannon is funny, strong, loving, patient, kind, and a little cavemanish :) Hayleigh is smart, beautiful, strong, a little damaged, and a kick ass fighter. Together they are perfect for each other!

Read this now!

Elle has created a really unique world in these books and chasing Hayleigh is no exception. I love the little twist on the fated mate trope. I am a total sucker for fated mates, so to see a different take on it was great! Hayleigh is a great character as well. You see her grow throughout the book and its not forced or rushed. I appreciate that because I love seeing a character develop, but only if its genuine. Brannon-HOT! Holy dirty talking alpha! And he is totally devoted which is another thing I adore in books!
Brannon had a few times when he was a bit on the alpha-asshole side and that annoyed me. Guys who are a little bossy don't bother me. Some of the things Brannon said however kind of made me bristle and I felt it was a bit jerk-ish. However, that only happened maybe twice and it could be me being overly sensitive!
If you are looking for a great, unique PNR, these books should be on the top of your TBR. Elle has created a great story with mystery, suspense, and deep love and Chasing Hayleigh continues in that tradition!
(Side note: the covers for her books are stunning!! Seriously!)

Once again, Elle Christensen has woven such an amazing tale of fantasy and romance! This book had me sucked in from the first few pages and I knew it was going to be a ride and a half with how intense the storyline with the Fallen has been getting!
What I love is how strong Christensen writes her female leads. Hayleigh is no disappointment. She has had such a rough start and to continue on like she has, makes you want to be friends with her. Brannon is such a strong alpha Fae that you want him all to yourself. Even with his demons that he is fighting within, he still goes after Hayleigh full speed ahead when she finally allows him in. These two mesh so well together and their banter made the story flow amazingly.
What I love with these books, is that you get to catch up with the past characters as they still play such a strong roll in the storyline. You find out about how they are doing, how they help and how they stand together as a solid group. The storyline between the Fallen and the Fae keeps getting deeper and deeper and I love the world that Christensen has created for this. The descriptive telling of the surroundings, the magic and even the characters appearances is flawless to me. This book flows so well that it is devoured quickly! I am really hoping that Kendrix has his story soon! I am beyond intrigued by him!!!
