How does Ella Frank do it? The banter in all her books is so witty and what you find in Take is no exception. Add to that the smoldering-erotic-hotness and the drama that accompanies a different yet “forbidden” relationship in the eyes of some and you have another successful glimpse into the lives of Logan and Tate, book 2 in the Temptation series.In Try, book 1, Logan and Tate get off to a rocky start in their relationship that turns sinfully lustful and ends with the reader wondering if there’s something more in store for this unlikely pair. Wait no more because there is plenty in store for Logan and Tate in Take. As their relationship develops there are monumental hurdles the two must face. Some heart-wrenching drama ensues and difficult decisions need to be made if this relationship is going to progress into more and last.Logan, the successful lawyer and seemingly unflappable sex magnet, exhibits a very vulnerable side in Take that will touch you and make you wonder how you missed that about him earlier in Try. As he becomes more committed to his relationship with Tate he struggles with his past and all the hurt that accompanied it as well as with the present. He continues to come across for the most part as the cool and unaffected Logan we all know and love but as his life with and without Tate becomes more complicated he struggles to hide his true feelings and emotions.Tate, the gorgeous and recently divorced bartender, who was previously astounded and confused about his feelings for Logan continues to guard his heart. As time passes he finds this more much more difficult and is forced to face his greatest fear. His family. Suffice to say that this is no easy task and the result will leave you speechless. These two are clearly good for each other in a number of ways which developed nicely in book 2.Once again, I’m enamored with the boys and you will be too! This version of Logan and Tate digs deeper into the emotions of “coming out and coming clean” and the repercussions of doing so. Personally I found this enlightening, emotional and upsetting at times.Take does not leave you with a huge cliffhanger but there’s no doubt that more should and will be coming as the future for Tate and Logan unfolds. Cannot wait to see what’s in store for the boys.For Exquisite fans (Ella’s previous books-you won’t want to miss), you’ll be so happy that the gang is all represented here in Take. The Exquisite series does not need to be read to enjoy the Temptation series but I would highly recommend reading it in order for the full affect of the relationships of all the characters.Find a cozy corner, curl up with some ice on hand (so you can cool down) and enjoy the continued journey of Logan and Tate.I was fortunate enough to win an ARC of this fantastic read.
