WHAT JODIE SAID .....“Lust and arousal were the driving forces in the room, but just under the surface was something much stronger –“OMG Lust and arousal were definitely evident in this book but yes, this time there is so much more!!  Seriously, I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH I LOVE THESE BOYS!!!! This is a book that makes me wish there were things bigger than stars.  Logan and Tate’s relationship is completely growing and changing in this book.  One of my favorite things about series is that it gives you the feeling of being in a new relationship right alone with them.  You know the butterflies, the nerves, wondering where you stand, the excitement and OMG THE LOVE!!!  Oh and don’t worry if there is one thing that is definitely present it’s the HOT, HOLY S**** SEX FACTOR!!  It’s Ella I love her for it!!“It wasn’t charming, and it wasn’t cocky. It was sensual, a true representation.”And“It was amazing that something so simple had once felt so complicated.  When, now, all it felt was right.”This book felt so right.  Logan still has the dirtiest mouth and I still love the way he uses it.  He is still everything I came to love in book 1. I, honestly, think I fell a little harder for him in book 2 if that’s even possible.  He has this screaming sex appeal and he is so inappropriate at all times you can’t help yourself.“I’ve become hooked on everything when it comes to you. Everything, Logan.”But let me just say Logan may have been the one that started this whole thing and he may have stolen my heart first but this book was all about Tate.  This was Tate finally deciding what he really wants.  And if I loved this man before I don’t know what the h*** you call what I am dealing with now. This book was exactly what I think someone like Tate would struggle with.“Am I gay? He wasn’t sure.  It was Logan he was attracted to, but not other men,  but what did that mean?  Maybe he was bi.  Who the hell cares in the end?  Do we have to label it?”Bottom line, it is what it is, and deep inside somewhere he wants Tate. I want Tate, honest to god doesn’t everyone want their own Tate.“Tate Morrison.  He might as well change his name to temptation, because that’s what he was.  Pure f****** temptation.”Watching these two struggle was hard on me but really I thought Ella played it out perfectly.  In fact I really loved watching Tate become who he is and growing as a character.  I am not going to lie lately sex scenes have bored me and I skim them.  Shut it, they are basically repetitive and I know what the end result is going to be.  But with these two I found myself wanting more instead of less.  And let me just say I will never go to a restaurant and order dipping sauce without thinking of Logan and well now I need a moment.If you’re concerned about a cliffhanger, yes there is one, but it should not cause you to hold off because bottom line you are okay, you are not in the fetal position.  Do you want more? ABSOLUETLY but that’s always the case with a good book you always want more so let us just be happy that we are getting a third book and not focus on the fact there may or may not be a cliff.  Here is all I am saying if you are looking to shake up your reading and to add a little flavor to your life with some MM this is the series to pop your cherry with.“You make me crazy and furious and out of my mind with need, but in the end, you make me so f****** happy.  I can’t even remember feeling this way.  And no one is going to tell me it’s wrong. No one.”See don’t you want to feel that?WHAT JEN SAID ...Have you ever read a story before that’s opened up your mind and heart to new things? Taken you to places you never thought you’d go because it’s not something you really never thought of before? Try was that book for me. I never even thought about reading a M/M, didn’t think I’d really enjoy reading about same sex couples. After hearing about these men I decided to give it a shot. I completely fell in love with Logan and Tate, this genres and Ella. There is just something different about reading about two men together. When done right, the emotions and connection between them just hits me harder. I’m a m/m whore now and proud of it! Thanks to Ella, I’m seriously addicted.“What are you trying to do, Kill me?”“No. I’m making you mine.”“Don’t you know? I’m already yours.”I couldn’t wait for the continuation to their story and let me just say this, Ella Frank did not disappoint. I slowly devoured each page because I did not want to miss a second of it. I was so consumed with every touch, every look, every taste and every smell. I just couldn’t get enough of it. Every page I turned I fell deeper and deeper in love. Tate and Logan’s story continues on in this 2nd book. Their journey is about figuring out what they really want and learning how to overcome many obstacles in front of them and just take it.Take has us seeing different sides to each of the men in a way we didn’t get to see in Try. We get to witness their fears and insecurities while their feelings for each other are tested. Old demons surface, secrets are told and new hurts happen. They really open up with each other and in doing so they fall for each other on a much deeper level.I really loved that we got to see a more vulnerable side to Tate and Logan. Their fears are real and believable and my heart hurt for them at times. They are as sexy as ever. Their passion for one another seeps off the pages. The sex is completely explosive, hotter than ever and yes ladies there is a lot of it.  Your tongue may hang out a bit and you may want to have your significant other nearby because this very talented author knows how to write some smoking hot scenes.“You know what I need? I need you to eat dinner with me so I can tell you what happened and then suck my d*** like you promised. Is that okay with you?”Logan is still the same cocky, arrogant, confident man we met in Try but this time he finds himself wanting things he never thought he’d allow himself to want again. He’s been burned before and opening up and giving his heart away again doesn’t come easy for him. Logan is forced to face his past so he can completely give himself over fully. Tate faces some rather tough choices. His happiness, what feels right to him and his heart are on the line when outsiders try to bully him into doing what they want. How do you go against everything you’ve been taught after you find out it all came with conditions? Tate has a very difficult road a head emotionally but with Logan by his side he knows what truly matters to him.“I’m done pretending I don’t understand what’s going on here. It’s crazy and intense, but Logan, it’s real. Every time I’m near you, I feel alive.”No one had ever made him feel as centered as Logan did, even when his world was spinning out of control.I really loved this 2nd installment. Ella has this uncanny ability to pull you in where every word on every page completely consumes you. The writing is absolutely brilliant. You feel like you are sitting the same room with these guys watching everything play out in front of your eyes. I can’t wait for the next book. The words are just so beautiful that it pulls you in and doesn’t let go. You NEED to pick this story up, you’ll breath it in, taste it and fall so deeply in love with these two men. You won’t regret it.Yes, touch me. Make me brave.**We were given a complimentary copy from the author/publisher in exchange for honest reveiws**
