Born and raised in Southeast Michigan near Ann Arbor, Elle learned the importance of reading from her mother. It was also her mother who, later on in her life, gave Elle her first romance novel: Indigo by Beverly Jenkins. From that moment on, Elle became a fan of Ms. Jenkins for life and a lover of all things romance. An old journal she wrote back in college became her first book (which she still wants to publish one day).

Elle is hard at work on her next novel.

Ms. Wright has shown again why she is one of my most favorite romance authors. The feelings and emotions are always written from a place of reality so the reader can easily connect with the story. It’s another winner for this author!!!

Pleasured by you by Elle Wright is the 3rd book in the Wellspring Series. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and hope it continues.
Bryson Wells is the siblings that has previously cut all ties with the Wells Family. He had a terrible childhood with Senior. We know all the siblings did. He got away from him the first chance he got, but he didn’t realize the impact his abrupt leaving had on his siblings and his childhood friend, Jordan Clark. They are in the same city after many years, and think it’s just a brief encounter. A set of circumstances brings them back together and things go from there. These two have a chemistry that jumps off the pages.

I like how Elle writes about how broken people, impacted by issues with their past, find their way with each other. In some ways Bryson was moving too fast and on the other hand Jordan was the over thinker who moved too slowly. Jordan let her issues with her parents keep her from fully giving in to Love.
Jordan needed to get out of her own way and her own fears about her child hood so she could truly love. Like Bryson said for every step he took forward, Jordan took a step back. I like how Elle writes Bryson. He is so sweet, caring and oh so sexy.
The hero and heroine have a sense of humor. In fact, all of the characters do. There is a dedicated and funny group of friends and family round that out that story. I definitely recommend this entire series.

It’s been years since Bryson Wells-Parks cut all ties to his hometown and family for 10 years, going so far as to change his name and delete his social media accounts. He’s built a profession and a life for himself away from his domineering abusive father, but as the man’s death draws near, Bryson finds himself back in Wellspring—and face to face with the woman who has a hold on his heart . . .Jordan Clark’s life is not turning out quite as she planned. Instead of working towards her law degree, she’s in Wellspring caring for her ailing grandfather. Running into Bryson in the at the hotel in California, sleeping with him that night is so out of character for her. Then after the condom breaks, she takes the morning after pill, to assure no mishaps. Rushing her granddad to the hospital and seeing Bryson brings back memories of the night their longtime friendship erupted into passion and pregnancy. The attraction between them has only gotten stronger. But Jordan will have to decide if Bryson’s love is real, or if he’s settling to get the family he’s always wanted. . .

A little slow and cumbersome with regard to their issues

My third and final Wellspring romance was my favorite. Bryson and Jordan were childhood friends and Bryson harbored a secret crush for years. They meet again unexpectedly and have a passionate night together. But since is one is on their way back to Wellspring and the other is determined never to set foot there again, they think it's one and done. But it's not, and they get a surprise along the way.

The angst in this one was so painfully sweet--Bryson (as with Brooklyn and Parker) was ready, and his counterpart was definitely not. I love that he went all in, but learned how to pull back and be patient. And when he was fed up, he let it be known, but he never forgot to be there for Jordan. Jordan's fear was written so well--you wanted to be frustrated, but you understood. I love that the Wells siblings were altogether in this book. That was a top five moment for me. And seeing Bryson take back his power in regards to Senior was nice. Bryson and Jordan couldn't get enough of each other and I loved that too (after Jordan stopped denying what she really wanted, lol). So much passion between them, and so much determination to get things right for their family. Lovely.

Bryson Wells left Michigan when he was going to college and quickly cut as many ties as possible, even those with his siblings. His father was an extreme jerk and Bryson was incredibly happy to disappear. But when his brother is in California (a short drive away from where Bryson currently lives), Bryson agrees to meet him. While there, Bryson also sees his childhood crush, Jordan Clark.
Jordan's life isn't exactly how she thought it would turn out. For instance, she's at the wedding of her father to a much younger woman. One whose friends think she's scored big. So she's feeling a bit down and ready to talk to an old friend. And maybe a bit more.
Then, through a series of events, it ends up the two will be spending a lot more time together so... they fall in love (?), I guess (?). It was hard to see that in the story. It was okay as a stand alone but I wasn't sure that this was really an HEA.

Finally, in PLEASURED BY YOU we get the mystery Wells sibling Bryson.  We've heard from the previous stories that growing up for him was difficult.  The nightmare starts when Senior decided he would use Bryson to get Parker in line, using his power he removed Bryson from the only loving home he knew.

In his hast to move as far away from his father, it also took him away from siblings and friends.  As fate would have it, when Bryson finally answered the call to meet Parker it reunited him with his long-term friend Jordan Clark.  She needs a distraction from her father's wedding reception, they use this opportunity to catch up. 

The best part of this story was Jordan and Bryson overcoming the past and their experience of a second chance at love full of passion.  The reunion of the siblings was an added bonus....Senior didn't get the better of them.

This series was a well written tale of strong family dynamic that overcame obstacles, second chances, suspense and betrayal.

The third installment of the Wellsprings series, Pleasured by You is a good read from cover to cover. Fueled by rejection, abandonment, physical and mental abuse, Bryson Wells left Wellsprings and vowed never to return but a family crisis brings him back to deal with those demons. When he left he thought he could forget his life in Wellsprings but Jordan Clark stayed in his heart. One night with her by happenstance had him feeling like he wanted her forever. Jordan Clark has also dealt with rejection and abandonment, because of them she’s afraid to give her heart out, love, and be loved. Bryson was her friend growing up but he left her when he said good riddance to Wellsprings. Can Bryson and Jordan rekindle their friendship and fall in love? Can they learn to forgive and let go of their pasts? Pleasured by You is engaging and relatable. It is a well written, page turning read! 4.5 stars!!

Bryson and Jordan green around each other. Bryson secretly had a thing for her. Bryson and Jordan see each other again when she is town for her father’s wedding. Bryson and Jordan decide to spend time together and the chemistry is hot!!!! Bryson is having some mixed feelings about returning to Wellspring. Bryson knows he needs to deal with it but he doesn’t see how anything good will come of it. Jordan life isn’t how she thought it would be but she would do anything for her grandparents. Jordan has some issues herself she needs to come to terms with. The unexpected happens and they both have figure out how to deal with it along with dealing with their past.

I loved Bryson’s story!!! Bryson definitely has this sexy nerd thing going on. I loved how strong he was along with how intelligent he was. Bryson knew what he wanted while Jordan was unsure of how their relationship was going to play out. I loved that even though they were going through some things that they still had a good time together.

Bryson Wells has had a crush on a girl who changed his life when he first moved to Wellspring Michigan. He never felt apart of the community but his father seemed determined to make his life miserable.Jordan Clark was that girl, when her father got remarried she wasn't too happy but never expected to see Bryson Wells. He was there to meet his brother who attended the wedding with his wife.
Bryson was infatuated with Jordan but that night he wanted to make a dream come true. Little did he know that after seeing him, Jordan wanted to make memories to last a lifetime. Together, they found a time and a melody that drove them both over the top.
Who would believe that their one night together would change their lives forever.
Ms Wright has woven a tale of love that overcomes pain in both their lives. I laughed I cried and I cheered for a HEA in this story of death and new beginnings..

I have to say this was my favorite story in the Wellspring series. This book had my feelings all over the place. While I was rooting for Bryson & Jordan the entire book, I wanted to kick Jordan’s butt for dragging her feet. I loved how Ms. Wright wrote two characters who experienced the worst kind of heartbreak to have two of the biggest loving hearts. They were everything they each needed. Their friendship was the best foundation for the loving relationship they were able to experience once they both got out of their own way. Seeing all the Wells sibs in Wellspring was truly a real treat. I hope to see Veronica get her own story with Juke possibly being her love interest.

Pleasured By You dives into the life of Bryson Wells, the younger estranged son of Senior Wells. Bryson reconnects with his siblings after several years of separation to learn about his father's health. Will it be enough for him to move back to Wellsprings, Michigan? This story continues with the storylines of the various characters from the other installments. We learn a lot about the father's devious ways and how they impact the children's decisions. Also, Bryson finds love but will his past prevent him from moving forward?

Jordan Clark had plans to go to Yale Law school, but she decided to take time off to help her grandparents. Jordan learns that life is not turning out the way she planned after encountering an old friend. Dealing with unresolved abandonment and trust issues, will this lead to a loss chance at love? Jordan has decisions to make, and love may not be at the top of her list.

Bryson ran away from his abusive father when as soon as he possibly could leaving BFF Jordan and his brother and sister behind, even changing his name so his dad couldn't find him. Almost 15 years later he meets his brother again in a bar and he sees Jordan as well, he finally gets to bang his first crush and winds up knocking her up.
Which is were this story lost me because pregnancy surprise or no is just not my vibe, both characters have abandonment issues and both react very different ways to said issues, it's unfortunate that babies aren't my thing otherwise I probably would have really enjoyed this story.

Elle Wright has quickly become one of my favorite authors. In the third installment of the Wells' family it's time for Bryson Wells to find love. Fans of friends to lovers will enjoy meeting Bryson and Jordan. I have to confess that I enjoyed the hero and heroine from book two just a bit more. But the chemistry between these two is pretty good. And the epilogue is one of the best parts of the book. I received an ARC through Net Galley for an honest opinion.

A rollercoaster ride of epic proportions:-). Jordan and Bryson are soooooo much fun! Their steeeeeeeamy romance is chock full of drama. Filled to the brim with chaos and laughter.

Ms. Wright has penned the most entertaining story that I’ve read in a long long time. The supporting characters were stellar, without being overwhelming and busy. And the humor, this book will make you laugh out loud.

Whew! This was a wonderful experience people, I hope you enjoy it.

Enjoyed Bryson and Jordan's journey. Bryson had a very painful childhood but his saving grace at the time was his crush, Jordan - until he left to escape his father's wrath. He returns to his childhood home to have his last say to his dying father when a chance run in with Jordan leads to an agreement
to have a one and done night together. Jordan once again helps Bryson with his painful past and ultimately that one and done encounter leads to a happy ending.

Amazing story

Both Jordan and Bryson werevdealing with parental abandonment issues. Friends since school neither had forgotten the other one. He never stopped loving her, she was afraid to give in to loving him. Their story was very well told. I was sorry to see the end of the Wellspring series, maybe Veronica will move to Wellspring and get a story.

What an ending! Bryson and Jordan's story is probably the most emotional of the the siblings. This story proves that you can overcome your past hurts and disappointments and thrive in life. Without giving anything away, a secondary storyline that started in Touched by You takesa dramatic turn in this book. These characters go through so much and it's totally worth it. Great read.

Great Read

I enjoyed reading Pleasured by You. Both Bryson and Jordan had been through some ruff situations as kids, so trusting people was a little difficult at times. But they discovered if you have love and support you can make it through anything. I definitely recommend this book

Extraordinary

This author quickly entertained and delighted my senses from the first book that I read of her works. This book of the series was engaging from the beginning. The author immersed readers with brothers meeting ten years after the younger had changed his name and disappeared. Jealousy existed before "Bryson" knew what was the current situation.

Abuse can affect ones life for eternity. So can overcome others can't. It was good to see the wells children overcome this parent. Love is generally very had for them. Battery abuse is usually carried on to spouses and children with a continued cycle. Good reading.

Childhood hurts and disappointments can hold you back. If you let it. Both Jordan and Bryson had been held back. They each had to let their childhood hurts and disappointsments go. they each had to do it in their own time when they were ready. When they did, they moved forward.
