For as long as Eve can remember, she’s been the hunter when it came to Paranormal justice. But now she’s the hunted.

Eve Carter is a paranormal detective, well she was, is...it's a little up in the air right now. After meeting four hot, sexy Guardians of the Queen sent to capture her, she's come to realize she possesses some very powerful paranormal powers. These powers have made Eve a wanted woman. The humans and the Queen want justice and are determined to get it. The Guardians, Noah, Tyler, Jacob and Cole have become Eve's protectors and they vow, with their lives, to keep her safe. These powers Eve possesses mean the Guardians cannot safely take her to their Realm. They need to find a way to help Eve control these powers. As Eve begins to have mixed feelings about her new protectors, she's worried she will lose them and maybe by her own hand. An evil force wants Eve and it will do whatever it needs to have her. She needs someone to help her figure out how to use her power, so they can navigate the dangers ahead.
In this book we learn more about Cole, Jacob, Noah and Tyler; who they were and how they became Guardians.
A WELL DEVELOPED STORYLINE WITH MANY TWISTS AND SURPRISES THAT KEEP YOU TURNING THE PAGES AND WANTING MORE ! WELL DEVELOPED, DETAILED CHARACTERS SO RAW, HONEST AND PASSIONATE AND DEEPLY DEVOTED TO EACH OTHER ! ! !
This is Book 2 in the series. The way this book ended, I can only imagine what Elizabeth has in store for us in Book 3 ! I can't wait for its release ! !
I AM TOTALLY HOOKED ! ! ! THIS IS AN DEFINITE ONE-CLICK ! ! !

Amazing!!!!

Pretty damn amazing I should say. Guardians of HellFire follows Ever and her Four Guardians Cole, Jacob, Noah and Tyler on their Journey to the Fae Realm of Lunare where things take a dark turn for them once they start their way through and the appearance of The Dark Knight that none of the Guardians can see except for Eve.

They soon realize that the only place for them to go is to Cole’s place of birth seeking the help of his sister because the other option is really not an option and Eve’s bracers are only going to hold for so long, but the journey is not easy.

But the Guardians aren’t going to give up and protect the only women that’s ever made them feel like they are on the clouds.

They say Love is the most powerful magic of all. Cole, Jacob, Noah, Tyler and Eve are going to prove if that’s true!!!

I absolutely can’t wait for book 3. I don’t think I have the patience to wait, but I don’t really have a choice in the matter so I’m the mean time I’m going to keep myself busy until then! It’s an absolutely fantastic read that will grip you and keep you reading from start to finish. Disclaimer I received an arc copy for an honest and voluntary review.

I loved the first book, getting to know all the players and Eve kicking butt. But this one, wow.

Eve, Cole, Noah, Jacob, and Tyler are now together and ready to fight. They all head to Cole's world to see if his sister can help with the demon part of Eve's powers. But none of them are prepared for how strong she becomes and for how fast it happens.

This story is about how no matter what comes at you love is always the answer. This is a wonderful story about love and family. I can't wait for the next book!

Guardians of Hellfire by Elizabeth Hartwell a five-star read that will set you aflame. This is the second book in the Guardians of Fae series, the series just goes from strength to strength and the passion and drama in the pages will captivate you. Eve, Cole, Tyler, Jacob and Noah all bring a special something to the series and each make it stronger in their own ways, the guys maybe the protectors but she in her own ways is also very protective. The details this story will go into will make you turn each page like it’s the last, there is a great story running through.

The magical and imaginative journey of Eve and her Guardians Cole, Jacob, Noah and Tyler continues in a fast pace where one event chases the next in a mind-boggling speed!
Secret is piled up on mystery, and only at the end of this book a tiny bit of the truth is revealed.
But there also are many moments of tenderness, caring, sizzling hot sexiness and all-consuming passion as a counterpart and some of these moments give a deep insight into the different characters … and some of these moments are so emotional and wonderful that they nearly brought me to my knees …

I loved this thrilling romance, and I hate that I have to wait for the sequel!

Guardians of Hellfire is the second book in the Guardians of the Fae series, and it picks up right where book 1 finished.
Eve has just learnt she is not just half fae, but half demon as well. Which is obviously terrifying given the epic battle she and her fae guardians just fought against the demons. This is made even worse by the fae queen sending her handmaidens after her. And they are not Eve’s biggest fans, leading to an ugly confrontation.
Things are a bit different for Eve because of this, her appearance is changing, her magic is becoming darker and more uncontrollable. She also begins to see a mysterious horseman that no one else can see. He seems like he could be a much bigger threat further on in the books.
So the guardians decide that getting her out of Old Haven and taking her to their home of Lunaira because Cole knows of someone who can help her. Along the way they encounter more of her crazy handmaiden Lysette, who really wants Eve dead. (Side note: changes were made after I read it so part of her role in the story is a little different now).
But the part I liked most about this little journey is that we finally learn more about Cole’s mysterious past. It makes you understand him so much better, and the new characters introduced because of it are awesome.
Honestly this book was so much better than the previous one. One of my biggest issues had been that the guardians had one chapter, told mostly from Cole’s POV. This time, they all get separate chapters! Yay! We get to know them all so much better. I enjoyed it so much more, it did drag a bit in places, like the episodes in a TV show where they need to get to the next stage, but there needs to be that awkward episode where not a lot happens. But oh boy, when the shit hit the fan, things got insane. The pace sped up, the fight scenes were intense and it was incredible.

Overall, loved it so much more. And I cannot wait for the next book. It’s going to be epic.

This is one amazing series... Guardians of HellFire is the second story and picks up with Cole, Jacob, Noah and Tyler taking Eve to the Fae Realm of Lunare. Prior to leaving they are able to put bracers on Eve’s wrist to help control her powers and they all know it’s only temporary. On their journey to the Fae Realm of Lunare does a Dark Knight appear and starts trouble for them all and Eve is the only one who can see him! Once they find each other they journey to Cole’s birth place and his sister to help Eve understand and control her powers, both dark and light do they encounter one obstacle after another with their main goal to protect Eve and get her to safety. The Guardians each love Eve and show her as individuals and a group which is the most important thing for them all. Along the way Eve learns about her past and those who are out to continue evil and wrongs she has a hard time being a part of. Can Cole’s sister teach Eve and the others enough to help Eve to win the battle against the queen of Lunare? The jealousy of Cole’s step mother causes them additional problems they all hope they can come out of! I am looking forward to the next part of this series!!

ONE INCREDIBLY THRILLING RIDE!!!
Man, oh man! Talk about a force to be reckoned with. All the twists and turns, ups and downs, ins and outs, along with a few glitches and unpredictable events make for one exciting experience. With drama, mystery, danger and suspense that keeps building and tension thickens throughout the entirety. Action packed, fast paced, hard hitting, nailbiting, heart pounding, pulse racing, smooth flowing, page turning thriller captivates from the start. The characters and scenes are written with such realism it really pulls this bad boy together beautifully. Elizabeth did a remarkable job bringing this read to life flawlessly. Fantastic job Elizabeth, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.

Sizzling hot, sexy, unique, and well written characters learning to trust each other while fighting for their lives and love.
Eve and her guardians are separated on their way to the Fae realm, by a force that they can't name. Eventually they will be reunited and are on the run from Cassina, and her evil intentions. They will find temporary safety with Cole's people, but that will end when the Dark Rider finally reveals his identity, and his plans to Eve.
Wow, exciting plot with action, magic, and some suspenseful moments. Fantastic book, I loved it!

Elizabeth Hartwell is a new author to me and I loved this Reverse Harem but I’ve done it again I hadn’t read book 1, there was a couple of things I was confused about but it didn’t take much for me to get into this story and when I got right into it I wasn’t able to put it down. Sorry guys I’m not going to give any spoilers so read Elizabeth’s blurb and that will give you the gist to this story, there’s plenty of action, suspense, danger, romance and so much more to keep you entertained and turning the pages. A fantastic story and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

What do you do if everything you thought you knew about yourself has irrevocably changed? Eve faces this question as she grapples with her new found powers. Powers that threaten and burn, powers that mold and grow, powers that she cannot control. Is not for Cole, Jacob, Noah and Tyler she frankly would be utterly lost. They came to deliver her to their queen, but now guard her and protect her with their lives. This story hard so much complexity and facets you’ll breeze through and plead for more.

This is book two in this series and the intensity really picks up. While Eve is still reeling from having the rug pulled out from under her and having everything she thought she knew challenged, the danger continues to grow and more threats arise. This reverse harem romance offers lots of drama, suspense, emotional turmoil, action and passion. I can't wait for book three to find out what happens next. This is my voluntary and totally truthful review.

We learn so much about Cole and his past as Eve is trying to figure out what she is. The characters are great, the story is ever changing and keeps you drawn in.
I enjoyed this book very much! Fast pace with twist and turns, adventure and hot sexy scenes🔥🔥.
I couldn't put the book down as it kept me on edge throughout the entire story. I can't wait for the next book!

This was an amazing action packed addition to the series! The story picks right up where book 1 left off with Eve and her Guardians in the apartment after Eve's first foray with Lisette and her backup witches. You could probably follow along without reading the first book but you will be missing out on so much awesomeness! ;) I purchased the first book and loved it! This story was even better and I cannot wait to read the next!

I was gifted an ARC in return of an honest review.

Provided with a free ARC for an honest review. Great series for fantasy lovers. This episode is even better than the first, with lots of action and sex. Eve is starting to come into her powers and her guardians are more attached to her and each other than ever. The group encounter danger from a number of bad guys on their journey across the fae lands. The characters are well developed, in particular Cole whose background is revealed. Great reverse harem love scenes. Highly recommended.

I couldn’t get enough of this book. I have to say that Elizabeth Hartwell really outdid herself in making sure that this second book in the Guardians of Hellfire series was just as great if not better than the first.
So much action and steamy romance this storyline kept me glued all the way through.
Don’t miss out on this incredible series.

Awesome! This series is addictive.

This is the 2nd instalment in this series and it's getting better with each volume. Here we are taken on a journey with Eva and her four Guardians. But the journey isnt just a physical one, its emotional too as the 5 realise what is at stake and what they mean to each other. The characters we are intriduced to and the detail in the story and amazing. Loving this series, and looking forward to the next release. Amazing series fir everyone's TBR list

Guardians of Hellfire kept me on my toes. It continues with Eve's story while she is finding out her life is quiet what she thought it is. Eve & her guardians are on the run from Cassina. They ended up separated from each other but will reunite before the end of the story. There was so much suspense & excitement throughout the book. I can't wait for the next story.

Eve and her Guardians have to work their way toward the Vale while fighting for their lives and keeping Eve’s powers contained. Lots of hot sex, lots of battling, a whole lot of love as they fully accept each other. I really like Lorelei and can’t wait to see more of her too. This is definitely not a standalone and ends in a lead-in for the next book.

She had always been the Hunter but now she is the hunted. She now has both demon and fae magic which no-one has ever had before. Now she is called a demon. Her guardians may not be strong enough to protect her so they need help. Where will they find that help? See where they will get it

The story continues as Eve and her guardians are forced to relocate for their safety and for Eve to learn how to use her powers. Of course, the path is never smooth and the quint are tested every step of the way.

Packed full of drama and excitement with plenty of steam and romance this is a great read

Interesting storyline

Pretty sure there are more sexy time scenes than fight scenes and there are a lot of fight scenes. This series is definitely for 18+. We get a little 'm ore background in the guys and on Eve in this book. Everything gets turned on its head in this book. Eve's powers are out of control and she us counting if the move of her guys to help her.

Not my favorite

It’s well written and it has a good plot but it just wasn’t my favorite. Lots of flowery speeches about devotion instead of really diving in and getting to know the characters. Lots of sex which is normally nice, but this was over the top for me. I think the author is talented. It just isn’t my taste.

Cole, Noah, Jacob, and Tyler would do anything to protect Eve. Even when the person the orders them to protect her and bring her back turns on them. Eve is faced with even more challenges trying to figure out what she is. While trying to navigate things she's never experienced before.
