The Protectors #2
Aiyana
Aiyana our real life Indian princess is smart, funny and makes those all too human mistakes in her new life and love. Her passion and a growing self-confidence shows her princess attitude. Shedding ancient beliefs and a life of service is hard. Especially when it puts a price on her head. It takes more than a village to teach her about life away from the tribe. Being banished doesn't stop our heroine. With determination, she makes it to number two within the Protectors. Now she needs their help and acceptance more than ever.
Whether it's protecting her people, healing, visions, special abilities, or her new erotic experiences, Jared loves it all. His adaptability and engineering skills dazzle his princess. When his laid-back personality hides family secrets that Aiyana unwittingly stumbles into, he needs help from his family and Club.
Our ongoing cast of characters has her back. Aiyana learns to rely on her Princes, Protectors, an honorable tribe and Jared beside her.
With skeletons falling out of her closet, will it be enough? Because some memories should be left in the past and some thoughts can be deadly.

About the author
L. Ann Marie
128 books464 followersL. Ann started with the Baxters and followed that with multiple series and genres. While her books feature paranormal, FBI, ex-military and Badass Bikers, L. Ann is writing about the strong women that these men need in their life to help right the world's wrongs and keep their small part of the world safe. The women are extraordinary, strong and determined to make a difference.
The men fight for right in every book. Yes, they kill people. Yes, the MC shoots at the bad guys’ feet to cause them pain. Yes, some throw tampons at each other regularly.
That being said, they do these things while stopping human trafficking and experimentation, bringing their world into legitimate businesses, fighting gangs to keep drugs away from their town and kids, keep women sheltered safely while trying to stop domestic abuse. These are men that don’t leave a pack, Team member or Brother behind. They don’t treat women as possessions and they don’t cheat. Respect takes on an honorable meaning. Women and kids are cherished. Everyone is looked out for and everyone is equal.
L. Ann has made amazing worlds, tackled the taboo subjects and made it easy to imagine living in a world where your protection comes from the vampires, shifters, freaky kids, albinos and orientals, military turned FBI and some Badass Bikers.
With readers writing about rereading the series over and over, she feels like she’s told her characters’ stories in a way that would make them proud.
Every book will make you laugh, every book will make you angry for the wrong that happens in the world. Every book will make you cry for the pain that a character feels. Every book gives you hope that we may just get it right yet

Phenomenal
Amazing story of one woman's strength to overcome and the man she chooses. This story creates a rollercoaster of emotions; awe, anger, frustration, relief, joy, angst and more. Aiyana and Jared go through quite the journey to get to what is meant to be to help the Princes, the MC and the people of the reservation. All this to protect the vision. And one cannot forget the freaky. We see new abilities develop as Aiyana becomes stronger away from the forces that have been holding her back.

"Aiyana" (Protectors Series Book 2) by L. Ann Marie is a good read. I enjoyed Aiyana and Jared's story. This is a great addition to the series. It was nice to catch up with everyone from the MC, Baxters, Princes of Prophecy, and Protectors series. Recommend to all fans of romance, MC, paranormal, and series. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next with these characters.

Loved it
Love the Baxter~MC~Princes~Protectors series. I have been waiting for Jared and Kaleb Baxter's stories. I love Kevin, Jamie and Ben and couldn't wait to see their boys as men. I wasn't disappointed.
I loved Jared and Aiyanna. An unexpected pairing, but so perfect. Jared is smart like his mom. He is all three of his dads rolled into one. Aiyanna may have grown up on a very traditional reservation, but she hasn't let e limitations placed on her slow her down. When she and Jared meet they are pulled to each other.
Aiyanna's tribe is unhappy with her choice in a husband, and do all they can to pull them apart. Jared supports her in her decisions. They have the Baxter, Prince's, Protector,and MC at their back. When its discovered what her tribe has been secretly really been doing, Dakota confronts and denounce his tribe and Aiyanna along with him.
Jared works hard helping Aiyanna adjust to life out side her tribe. He learns how much she is like his mother, with big heart and a gift in herbology, but also a true warrior and an able second to Christian. He listens to the advise of Dakota and Christian. He finds ways to make it right for her. Through his family, the Conn Tribe, and the brothers, give her a new family.
A great addition to the series. Can't wait for Kaleb and Aaron's story.

This one is more of a 3.5 for me, but I found up. Loved the badass heroine. But got a bit lost sometimes when she was thinking and self-reflecting. And although this author writes some great love/sex scenes, I am not into the particular kink that these characters enjoyed.

Another awesome book by L. Ann Marie. Book 2 of the Protectors, "Aiyana", features Aiyana, an Indian Princess, and Jared along with all the cast from the Baxter's, MC, Princes and the Protectors. Emotions and frustration run rapid. Jared is very much in love with her and is her rock. Jared steps up and embraces her Indian cultures.Parts had me laughing, crying,suspenseful and had a hard time putting the book down.

Warrior Princess
As always another great story of struggles, family and love. Jared and Aiyana are so interesting together and make an awesome couple. So happy Aiyana got to be herself and found her Warrior in Jared. She is badass all the way and it was awesome to read. I am excited for the next book on Kaleb and Aaron.

Outstanding book
Once again L Ann gives us an amazing story of love, humility, strength and perseverance. Mixed with a tribe who don't value her either as a person or for her abilities Aiyana needs Jareds strength and unwavering support. Along with her new tribe and her other family the Princes, she naturally comes into her full power. Once again she helps save innocents, the Mc and her new Baxter family. This book is full.of action drama and heartache. Not one to be missed.

Aiyana is the best one yet!
I loved this book so much! You can't skip a page feeling that you might miss something if you do. Aiyana is funny, witty and just plain amazing as a character. Jared is the perfect compliment for her bubbly personality and smartness! The characters are well developed and it's a very easy, coherent book to read. You will meet with your favorite characters of the MC, Princes and Protectors and you'll definitely have a blast. I know I did! Great read, amazingly well done by the author and I truly highly recommend it!

Aiyana, a real live Indian princess, has joined the Protectors at Prince’s. She wants to be free of the stifling rules and oppression on the reservation but fears losing her heritage.
Jared Baxter has been around freaky his whole life. Life as a Baxter placed limits on his freedom as a child and he is now enjoying life at the Princes. Building custom bikes for security, assisting HS and flying his helicopter when they need him.
Can two people who come from such diverse backgrounds work? Can Jared prove he will let her be all she is meant to be? Can Aiyana shed years of oppression and shine in her new role?
All the beloved characters are back and show Aiyana they have her back no matter what. For the first time she is getting the respect she deserves and never received from the people that should have supported her all along. Old secrets and devious deeds come to light that could derail their new happiness.
This was an emotional roller coaster ride that I absolutely loved. Jared and Aiyana were good as peripheral characters in previous books; in this one they grab on and don't let go. Humor, sadness, steamy sex, and paranormal abound.

Excellent!
Loved Aiyana and Jared as a couple. They are a great pair who bring the next generation right into the thick of things and promote the values of Baxters, the MC, the Princes and the Protectors. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Aiyana learn and grow into herself. This is another hit in the series. Can't wait for the next installment.

AIYANA IS A STORY OF STARTING OVER AND REALIZING YOUR POTENTIAL WHEN PEOPLE YOU TRUSTED DON’T SEE IT. IT’S INSPIRING FOR READERS WHO HAVE FELT THAT PAIN AND REJECTION EVEN ABUSE AND WANT ACCEPTANCE. I LOVED THE MESSAGE OF THIS STORY THAT THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE TO STAND WITH YOU AND THAT YOU ARE NEVER ALONE. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF EXCELLENT STORY TELLING BY THE AUTHOR.

Oh Princess Aiyana and Saint Jared
I loved this book and series! The characters are so real and they make you wish that real life could mirror an all in attitude. I love the relationship of Jared and Aiyana. The love and acceptance of each other was awesome to read! Aiyana grew so much from the beginning of the book into a Warrior Princess/Badass! I am so pleased with the way the book played out and look forward to see more with Kaleb.
