Guarding the Goddess?
Y’res the Fourth–otherwise known as Ellina–the newly crowned ruler of Helios Beta, has a problem: someone is trying to kill her. There has already been one assassination attempt on her life and she fears that soon there will be another. She needs someone to guard and protect her–someone she can trust. Which is why she calls on the Kindred.
Commander Ty’rial is a Kindred warrior in the Elite Espionage Corps. He takes the job of guarding the new ruler of Helios Beta with some reservations. For Ty is a Modified Kindred–his DNA was manipulated before his birth to make him the perfect slave, fit only to serve a spoiled, rich Mistress. Rejecting this fate, Ty has made his own way in life and he has no interest or intention of falling for a female in power–even one who feels frightened and powerless, as Ellina does.
Two worlds collide when Ellina admits her fear and Ty begins to see her as a person–not just a Potentate. Feelings between them grow but they can never be together–for Ellina must choose a consort from among her own people–one who can give her an heir with the same Sacred Blue skin tones which she alone possesses. But when another assassination attempt and a villainous plot sets off Ellina’s Heat Cycle, can the two of them stay apart?
And will either of them ever be the same after Ty is tasked with…
Guarding the Goddess?

Protecting her body or her heart
This book is the perfect next step in the series. I love how it seamlessly picks up where the last one left off. The queen tries her best to keep her distance, but when up against circumstances, her own body, and a big strong kindred what is a girl to do. You are going to love this book, well I know I did anyway. It is a thrill ride that you won’t want to get off of until you see if blue blood wins out or true love and affection. I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for us next.
Love this series!
Another great one. I couldn’t put it down. It had me from beginning to the end. Exciting series. I look forward to each book. Grab it!

Another entertaining story in this series. Assassination is the key word in this story, someone is determined to kill the new ruler. Her bodyguard, a very different Kindred will put his life on the line for her. You will see they have sizzling chemistry despite her innocence and would make a great couple. But ruler and bodyguard, also he’s not even from that planet would be a no no. Plenty of heart warming moments among all the action in this book. I loved it.
I enjoyed reading this book. It involved different alien species and customs so different from the Earth and the Kindred. I recommend reading this book.

Still yet another great read from Evangeline Anderson, in the Brides of the Kindred Series. Cover Art is done tastefully yet steamy. the storyline moves along at a good pace. Pages turn easily and keep the reader interested every step of the way.. Adventure and romance await! Tastefully steamy in all the right places. Get hooked on this series and this author; you won’t regret it! I’d recommend this book to anyone 18 years and older.

Fantastic storyline! Love the whole series.
I was so happy that a story was written for Ellina, queen of Helios Beta. The young female was just perfect for on of the Kindred. She had faced so much death of her family and then to have someone trying to kill her. She needed a new guard to protect her and train her new guards. So who better that a Kindred male. Through to goddess, the Kindred all have a need to protect females. But this time a different kind of Kindred is needed. That is where Ty steps in. Like all of the Kindred stories you can expect plenty of danger and adventure. And when it comes to romance expect the unconditional love that only a Kindred male can give.
Guarding the goddess is another great Kindred story. Ty will do whatever it takes to protect Ellina. However, he may lose his heart in the process. Will Ellina do her duty and be with someone else or will she change the rules and take a chance on a love that would last forever? This is another wonderful story and I would definitely recommend it.

Guarding the Goddess:A Kindred Tales Novel (Brides of the Kindred) – Evangeline Anderson
This book is a wonderful sequel to the last Kindred Tales (Kindred Klaus) novel where Kindred Asher and his mate save the planet Helios Beta and the coronation of the new Potentate. The planet is inhabited by a race of blue humanoids who are similar in anatomy but there are some “interesting” differences. They all have these lovely beings, small creatures who can only be described as an extension of their emotions and their souls. The Chewchies sound adorable, helpful and do play important characters in this story (I want one).
Sylvan, head of the Kindred on the mothership, assigns a troop of Kindred warriors to protect the new Potentate ,Ellina, who is in danger of assassination. The leader of the Kindred and bodyguard of Ellina is Ty’ral, who takes his position very seriously. Ellina has been traumatized by the assassination of her parents, her ailing grandmother and the need to assume the ruling position. She is aware there are evil plots and suspicious characters within her court.
Ty’ral is a whole new type of Kindred. He was genetically produced by the crazy domineering females on Yonnie 6. They were producing warriors for their specifications, mostly The best of many Kindred in one great package, luckily these “males” are rescued by the mothership and undergo major psychological therapy. Ty’ral is terrified that although he is reprogrammed he may still find a genetic predisposition to want to guard and please a woman. He decides to never take a mate for this reason.
Ellina and Ty’ral find a way to heal and bring strength to each other during their time together. They must not only find a way to protect her but also discover and stop the evil group that has been slowly taking over the planet for several years.
This is an exciting , very enjoyable read. It’s very original from the world building, new characters and species and page turning storyline. I highly recommend reading this awesome book (after Kindred Klaus).
The author has done it again and brought us another wonderful book.
I just love Ellina but my heart broke for her. Here she was young and had the weight of her kingdom on her shoulders. The to top that someone trying to kill her and worried about something more private. No one that young should be faced with that alone.
I just love Ty. Though he had this invisible wall up he was so loyal and willing to serve and protect. He would do anything to keep her safe.
I just loved the chemistry between these two and things will get really hot and steamy. It was truly a great story and glad I got a chance to read the book.
I’m so glad that we got to hear Ellina’s story! We met Ellina a couple books ago. She was in the book briefly and we didn’t see much of her. She came off at first, as a spoiled future ruler. However, that’s just the facade. This is Ellina’s book and her life as a ruler with people trying to assassinate her. She calls the Kindred to protect her and Ty is there as her personal bodyguard. Ty doesn’t want to get too close but can be keep his distance as the danger gets closer?
I loved Ellina and Ty and was so glad they got a story! Great read!

5 Star winner, well worth reading
A fabulous story to read. It’s been awesome reading about this planet and the inhabitants as well as the Kindred put there by the Goddess. Lots of action and adventure throughout the book. And I love the little critters that are so much more.
This book is a well written self-contained story that’s also part of a series.
I highly recommend this book to read.
Ellina had just become the newly crowned Potentate of Helios Beta when an assassination attempt was made on her life.
Until the culprit is found, it is decided that an off worlder – Kindred Commander Ty’rial will guard and protect the new queen until a new contingent of her own people can be properly trained.
Disrespect shown to Queen Ellina amongst the surrounding royals has them both on alert as they try to discover who is trying to cause her harm.
Another attempt on her life in public had Ellina and her guard Ty seen as heroes which anger the unscrupulous few who have other plans.
Can the danger be contained before their lives are irreparably destroyed?
Intriguing, romantic and searing chemistry, loved the intimate honesty as well!

I enjoyed reading this book, the interaction and chemistry between the characters of Ellina and Ty is great, the storyline is entertaining and filled with action and intrigue. I can’t wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
Fighting assassination attempts, desire, lust, and seemingly sinister ulterior motives, Ellina and Ty must work together to keep her safe, find the culprit behind the assassination attempts, and fight the growing desire for each other. Can it be done? I won’t tell you other than to say that you must read Guarding the Goddess!

Guarding the Goddess
Another A+ for Anderson!
In the Author’s Notes at the beginning, you, the Reader, are advised to read Falling for Kindred Clause first. That one was the latest Tales of the Kindred, set at Christmas. I had read it and was curious why that reading order was recommended. Ms. Anderson’s books do not end with cliffhangers, and all of the Kindred Brides and Kindred Tales take place in the same Kindred universe. But the reason soon became clear. Lisa and Asher of the Kindred Clause tale also spend time on the same planet of Helios Beta and attend the Coronation of Y’res the Fourth as Potentate.
At her Coronation, Ellina, the Potentate, faces an assassination attempt. She asks the Kindred for protection and we are introduced to Commander Ty’rial (Ty), a member of the same Elite Espionage Corps as Asher.
Ty soon learns that Ellina is still the target of assassins. Also, because she grew up in the palace, the High Priest treats her as if she were a child and the rest of the nobility have no respect for her, calling her a freak and laughing at her. Trying to rule Helios Beta is a daunting task, and facing more assassination attempts with no help from those who should be protecting her seem to spell nothing but doom and failure. Can she trust the Kindred sent to guard and protect her? Or will her history cause nothing but disaster for both?
I enjoyed reading this Tale. I was easily pulled into the story because the characters seemed alive and not part of a novel. Hero and villain struggle on this alien world, just as they would if they were on Earth. This tale is a wonderful romance. Having read all of Ms. Anderson’s novels, I think Guarding the Goddess is one of her best!
I began with the first Kindred Tale and have finished the original series. I now wait for each new book because I cannot get enough of Anderson’s Tales.
