Ella, thank you for creating the two most beautiful men I've ever had the pleasure to know. Note that I said the two most beautiful, not two of the most beautiful. Over the years there have been m/m couples I have adored that were special enough to be on my favorite list however Logan & Tate go far beyond that and believe me, that was not easy to do because there are some really amazing ones. No one, and I mean no one, can hold a candle to Logan &Tate.;You absolutely had me hooked with TRY and TAKE was no different. Logan & Tate have stolen my heart, wrapped it up in chains, added a lock and hold the only key. I can never get enough.More often then not in a series, when the first book is perfection, the second book doesn't live up to the first. Not the case here. While TAKE is certainly as hot as TRY, it held that emotional element, that was hinted at in TRY, and kicked it up to a new level. I have always loved hot love scenes but when you add the extra element by bringing emotions into the mix it doesn't get any better. But it doesn't work if you don't feel them. Gawd, do you feel them. To see the struggle Logan & Tate went through had me on an emotional roller coaster that squeezed my heart one minute, broke it the next then filled it with sunshine. And some of the words spoken to each other. OMG! Beautiful.Tate. I couldn't be more proud. To have the courage to explore new feelings and to stand up for those feelings in the face of losing everything he holds dear, his family, was heart wrenching. I loved him all the more. But what made me love him even more, just when I didn't think I could, he didn't make Logan hide. He put his love for Logan out there and to hell with everyone else. He made Logan feel worthy.Logan. Sigh. I simple adore this man. Tough, smart mouth Logan. I knew he had a heart of gold under that tough, I don't give a s*** exterior. And what a DREAM he is. I so freaking loved seeing him vulnerable but not in a weak way and how he was willing to tear down his walls for Tate. It was swoon worthy to see his love for Tate. Gawd, it was beautiful. Every scene between Logan & Tate you could feel how deeply they love one another. Never have two alpha males been hotter. I loved the kisses on the cheek, the intwined hands, the gentle touch to the face, the hickey! Sometimes the gentlest of touches are the hottest because of the emotion behind them. And this is going to sound funny but I just love the way they always say each other's name. Tate?, Logan?. And let's not forget how possessive each of them are of the other. These two don't want anyone touching the other, literally.Cole was a sweetheart in TAKE. Through all the s*** that Cole and Logan give each other, I found it so touching how they are always there for each other and have each other's backs. Cole was definitely the big brother here. The scene where Cole went looking for Logan was so sweet. I loved how Cole was worried about Logan's hands and the hug. Damn, that hug said it all between these two. Also loved how Rachel took Tate under her wing.I can't sit here and tell you how many times I've read TAKE already. I've lost count. But for anyone sitting on the fence, don't. You have to read this series in order so do yourself a huge favor and go buy TRY and follow it up with TAKE.I don't know how I'm possibly going to wait until 2015 for book #3. Slowly go out of my mind, no doubt.My wish list for the final book:I have to see my two guys get married. PLEASE ELLA!!!!!I would love to see an epilogue since both book 1 and 2 end so abruptly. No quick ending please. The cherry on top of the cake? An intimate, sensual, wedding night, maybe at the cabin, unlike anything we've ever seen, where their souls and love for one another are laid bare. DAMN, I can just picture it now.(less)
