Take

Second Read 10/4/17-10/7/17 gearing up for the sequels and I'm 100% ok with my original review———————————-Here's a case of I'm glad I didn't listen to myself, because even though I thoroughly enjoyed [b:Try 17798649 Try (Temptation, #1) Ella Frank https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1375230186s/17798649.jpg 24898058] the second time around as what it is, a series hot sex scenes between two guys who can apparently not only give runway models a run for their money but also porn stars, I didn't feel that I needed to go on with the series but I did (new policy: go full on with a series if the parts are out & available) and am I glad!I think this series should come with the caveat that you should immediately proceed to [b:Take 25124773 Take (Temptation, #2) Ella Frank https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1426121465s/25124773.jpg 24898064] because it picks up directly where [b:Try 17798649 Try (Temptation, #1) Ella Frank https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1375230186s/17798649.jpg 24898058] ends and in this book Logan & Tate cease being caricatures and are fleshed out as real recognizable people, with fears, hopes and feelings. Sure they are still gorgeous and perpetually hard for one another (thank God) but we also get the real men behind the gloss: a Logan who masks a fear of rejection behind a cocky and arrogant attitude and a Tate who has been questioning what this relationship means. After a harsh reality check via his family he makes the hard choices bravely and honestly.One of the things I feared was having to deal with Diana, Tate's ex, as a perpetual harpy in the background but [a:Ella Frank 6451816 Ella Frank https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1458548729p2/6451816.jpg] handled this part of the story perfectly. Diana got her say as did Tate's parents and when all was said and done and poor Tate had to assimilate to his new reality he did and moved on. Not without pain. It can never be easy to be in the situation Tate finds himself with his family but it is the sad and painful reality that many face for simply loving whom they love. Luckily Tate has Logan there to catch him and isn't Logan a dark horse? Revealing that all that chill is to hide and protect not someone who doesn't care but rather one who feels and cares too much and is afraid to open himself up to love and be let down. But for Tate he does it. And in a big way. All the way. Bravo.[a:Ella Frank 6451816 Ella Frank https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1458548729p2/6451816.jpg] has won me over to these two and I think they may be up there with my favorite couples and to top it off she has oh so subtly tweaked my interest in other books by her, mainly the Exquisite series by dropping in characters around Logan & Tate's lives. Rachel & Cole are adorable.**Audio Update **I had the Kindle/Audio bundle so I gave [a:Shannon Gunn 6996772 Shannon Gunn https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] another try and he's kind of grown on me. I still think he makes Tate sound a little like a dumb jock and also sounds a bit older than 29 and Tate's mother is like Miss Adelaide from “Guys and Dolls” but Logan is just right and the rest of the narration part is very nice, but lower your volume when he gets to the climax scenes. I don't want to imagine what was happening in the booth while he was recording but I'm thinking he had fun. NOTE 2 About the GFY: I do have a shelf for that category and I put books there for any who may be searching shelves and likes that trope. Personally I don't believe in that. I believe in people who come late to realize that they are bisexuals and the in world of romance they discover this person and this person also turns out to be the ONE & ONLY because we read this genre mostly for a HEA, in that one person who is our beginning and end. So yeah ... I'll keep my GFY-ONLY-FOR-YOU shelf but I don't know that that is actually a thing. Bisexualism is not a bad thing. Bisexuals have true loves too. Okay. End of semi-rant.

2,5 ⭑ - Boring AF
DNF'd the series at this piont

Really enjoyed seeing Logan's vulnerable side.

Full of spice and sincere moments!
