Embracing Ellie by A.J. Andersen

Ellie:

All my days are the same. I work, sleep and then get up and work again. Day after day and nothing ever changes.
I love my family, but there has to be something more. Someone just for me.
Then one night he is there. Kind, protective and sweet. Too good to be true.
I have no idea what to do, so when I lose control of the situation, what else is there to do but push him away?
Even if the only thing I want is to be held in his embrace.

Blake:

All it took was one look, one single glance and she owned me heart and soul.
I never knew what I was missing until she smiled at me, until I kissed her sweet lips and was changed forever.
I will face any challenge, fight any battle, to make her see that I am hers and she is mine.
Even if the only one standing in my way is her.
Embracing Ellie is book 3 in the K&S Securities Series. It picks up the story from Blake Stone’s perspective, a little removed from the angst of Finding Faye and Acquiring Analise, but still in the thick of the action. Finding Faye (Book One) and Acquiring Analise (Book Two) should be read first.
Blake Stone has purposefully kept women at a distance, focusing on his computers and building K&S with Travis.
Ellie Lovell’s entire life is about responsibility and doing what need to be done to provide for her family.
When they meet they are drawn toward each other, but neither of them have experience with relationships. Blake wants to protect Ellie from every worry she has.
When he goes a step too far she distances herself, not wanting any man to fight her battles, even knowing that she isn’t good at fighting her own.
Together they have to learn that it’s okay to let someone in, to lift each other up and to find love in the midst of the chaos surrounding them.
