Where do I even begin? I read this book in one sitting and has been the only book that I’ve managed to read for the whole week. It's that good!!! You know how sometimes you read and loved a book but you don’t know exactly what to say about it? NOT THIS BOOK!! This is one of those times where I am furiously putting fingers to keys to push you to FREAKING READ IT! I found myself blushing, laughing, rolling my eyes, rejoicing and squee-ing for most of the part.I cannot speak enough about the way these characters are written and the very raw and believable growth we witness from book one. They were so lively and memorable. No doubt Tate Morrison has been the new love of my life. He wants to be uninhibited, fight for the person he now wants to be and just live out of the shadow that was partly created by his twat of an ex-wife….but he’s got so much he’s holding on to. Watching him grow in this book and start to rediscover himself was an exciting journey in itself. For how long? <<-- that we have yet to discover.I have to give it to Logan, too. He still got that sexy confidence going on and I love him for that. He's not perfect at all but he is strong and smart and even though he falters sometimes, he knows exactly who and what he is! I love how he always melt whenever Tate is around. Like they can't seem to get enough of each other and I love the quirky way in which their relationship progresses. And let's not forget about the sexual tension. OH MY GOSH! I could feel my whole body clenching when I would hold my breath during their encounters. I just wanted to pull them out of the book and smash their faces together so they can smooch each other like I used to do with Barbie and Ken. Or Ken and Ken, for that matter. (LMAO). Admit it! I know you want it too!Oh and Cole? I was pretty much salivating all over my book and had to fan myself while reading parts that included him. He’s interesting and not cookie cutter. I wanted MORE of him because what we got to know…he’s an intriguing guy and I have so many picture of drool worthy men in my mind. (Note to self. Read Edible ~ he's there.)I’m going to boldly say that I loved Ella from the tips of my hair down to my toes. I actually think I liked TAKE even better than TRY. I can’t believe I’m saying it but it’s true. She brought the awesomeness and somehow created a story that was never lacking in substance. She pointed out A LOT of things that many people on that same situation could learn from. The amazing characters, the romance, the compelling storyline. It’s all there. While TRY (book one) was more of an introduction of how Logan asked Tate to try, for me in TAKE, Ella did a tremendous job in making Tate's character the shining star. I started to panic when I realized I was nearing the end of this book…grasping for pages that weren’t there. I just wasn’t ready for it to end. I’ll be singing praises of this book for a long time to come, that's for sure!If you're looking for your next favorite read then you might want to bump this one up now! Ella Frank certainly gives you the next best thing to your own craving for a romance story as her writing makes it easy to get lost. Always is a book that you’ll be aching to re-read after you finish. The characters and their journey through love and acceptance are such an adventure you wouldn’t want to miss.
