Confessions: The Princess, The Prick, and The Priest (Confessions #4) by Ella Frank

Everyone said our love wouldn’t work.

That it was too hard, too complicated, too messy.

Oh how I enjoy proving everyone wrong.

My men are smart, sexy, sophisticated—

and most of all, crazy about me.

The only problem is trying to explain

that to my big, opinionated Italian family.

But after all we’ve been through, we deserve a

happily ever after. And if there’s one

thing I know about my guys, they always

manage to have a few surprises up their sleeves.

GAH! I just love these guys!! I mean they have totally captured and ran away with our hearts. This was the perfect ending to their story, but I wish it would have continued forever.

Robbie, Priest and Julien just work. As unconventional as their relationship might seem, it worked for them. Robbie was bright enough to breakthrough Julien and Priest's darkness. Robbie made the trifecta what it is. 

I may not have liked Priest in the beginning when we were introduced during Logan and Tate's story, but he is just wonderful. I have totally fallen for the overprotective, bossy, alpha male that he is. He is the glue and support that holds these three together. 

Julien is the love and passion. He is the calm in the storm. He balances Robbie and Priest when they go to their extremes. 

These are just perfect for each other and I cannot say enough amazing things about this book. I want more! ::sigh::

Priest (Confessions #3) ~ Ella Frank

I am complex.
My love is all-encompassing.
And when it comes to my heart, there is only one rule:
Don’t mess with what’s mine.

Until the age of seven, I was Joel Alexander Donovan, son of Jimmy. The man who terrorized a town and made its citizens fear the very ground he walked on. Including me, the day I realized that ground ran red with blood.

At age eighteen, I became Priest.
A man without a past.
A man determined to right the wrongs of my father.
A man who never believed anyone could love the son of such a monster.

But then a thief stole my heart.
A sweetheart lit up my world.
And I forgot for a moment you should never turn your back on your enemy.

And thus begins a lesson to those who would seek to harm: Never underestimate what the Priest will do to protect the Princess and the Prick. 

I love Priest. That's it! I've said it! From the beginning, we've been annoyed, frustrated and pissed off at him. But, I was wrong!! His love is intense and fierce. He is passionate about everything and that includes the men he loves. There is no middle ground with Priest. He is full-fledged, 100% in when he commits. 

The angst, the what-ifs, the OMG moments had me flying through the pages. I couldn't get enough of Priest's troubled past and the men who are his future. The intensity of their love and fear was palpable. 

Ella is just a fantastic writer and she keeps me engrossed in the story. I feel like I am right there living this journey with them. I cannot wait for the next book and the continuation of the Prick, the Priest and the Princess!

"Your love is exactly what Julien said - powerful. It's intense, all-consuming and takes two men to return it."

A Little Bit like Desire (South Haven #2) ~ Brooke Blaine

What if you had everything in the world you wanted...except the man you never knew you needed? 

Shaw Jennings, the seductive, enigmatic owner of Body Electric Tattoo works hard and plays even harder. He’s built a life he’s proud of, and though that doesn’t include a significant other, he’s got plenty of sexy men to keep his bed warm at night. None of them have ever made Shaw sit up and take notice for long, though. But that all changes when a famous rock star walks through his door. 

Trent Knox had the world in the palm of his hand as the lead singer of TBD, one of the biggest rock bands in history…until the day he walked away. A getaway to South Haven Island seems like the perfect place for Trent to find himself again and reignite his passion for music. But what he never expects is to find his muse in a six-five, tatted-up badass whose sinful smile he can’t get out of his mind. 

The only problem? Trent’s a notorious womanizer, and Shaw isn’t interested in being someone’s experiment—muse or otherwise. But in a town as small as this one, Shaw is finding it more and more difficult to keep the persistent rocker at arm’s length. 

As the tension between them builds, maybe it’s time to finally give in and get carried away with something a little bit like...desire. 

I absolutely loved Shaw and Trent's story. There was the perfect amount of angst that makes it feel more like a real relationship. Sure they both had their fears and hangups, but they were honest with each other. They supported each other in whatever decision the other made and that was before they really knew what to call each other. 

Don't get me wrong, there was some time before they jumped into some fun, but there wasn't an ex storming back in to their lives messing everything up. That had a a getting to know you period, a few drunk evenings and talks, that definitely cleared the air. They had their own issues, like most people do and they worked on it. 

I wish there were more Shawes out there. Holy hotness batman! He is just so delicious. He's straight forward, honest and supportive. The best book boyfriend, even if he didn't think he could have a relationship. 

Trent is all sorts of messed up, but he doesn't burden anyone with it. He turns on his performer switch to ensure others feel comfortable and are happy, even if it makes him unhappy. He's selfless and sexy. A great match for Shaw.

Shaw and Trent are super hot together and I just love their non-relationship-ish. I was so excited for them to get to know each other and explore their feelings. This was wonderfully written. I just love these men from South Haven!

Confessions: Julien ~Ella Frank

People are complex. 

Love a double-edged sword. 

And when it comes to a broken heart, there are no rules, only time… 

For the past eight years, Julien Thornton has been living with a secret. One that only a handful of people know about. 

To the outside world, he has it all. 

A thriving career. A loving husband. And a face that the American public fell for by the millions, on a reality show that inadvertently saved his life. 

But behind the shine of celebrity, behind the easygoing nature, a crippling truth fills Julien with pain and self-loathing. It’s a truth that he fights to overcome daily with the help of his husband, Joel Priestley, and now their boyfriend, Robbie Bianchi. 

But unlike Priest, Robbie doesn’t know what he’s helping Julien to fight. He doesn’t know what Julien did all those years ago. And with the anniversary of his sister’s death fast approaching, the time for explanations is running out. 

And thus the question: will the princess be able to forgive the prick as the priest once did? 

Only time will tell. 

How wonderful are these men? I just can't get enough of Julien, Robbie and Priest. They are so hot together and its just enough angst and suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat without making you crazy. 

These characters are so well written and complex. Priest is very emotional even though Robbie always thought he wasn't. We see a new side of him here that just has me loving him even more. 

Julien's baggage is one that can be understood. The why and the how of his tragedy are devastating. Yet here comes their light, Robbie, to brighten their darkness. 

Robbie is just awesome. He's so fun and happy. He is someone I'd want to keep around forever too. His love for these two is so apparent, even if he thinks he's not giving anything away, I think Priest and Julien can see it. 

I need Priest's story ASAP!! Please and thank you! 

Confessions: Robbie (Confessions Series Book 1) ~ Ella Frank

Relationships are complex.

Love ever-changing.

And when it comes to rules of the heart,

they were made to be broken…

That’s what Robert Antonio Bianchi was telling himself, anyway.

Otherwise, he really had no excuse for what—or who—he’d done.

No excuse, except for his lonely heart, a pitcher of margaritas, four Bitter Bitches, and the apparent need to confess all his weaknesses to the two men he knew would bring him nothing but trouble.

But trouble was nothing new.

Just ask his crazy sisters or any of his friends, and they’d be the first to tell you:

If there was a bad decision to be made, Robbie always had a knack for making it.

And thus begins the story of the priest, the princess, and the prick.

After Logan and Tate, I wasn't sure if I would have more room in my heart. I always loved Robbie's character and was super excited for his own story. Ella did not disappoint. These three are hot, sexy and complicated. 

I wasn't always a fan of Priest. Nothing bad about the guy, but he was always very standoff-ish, blunt and brutally honest. That being said, this story has changed my feelings about him. I get him a little more now. I am super excited to dive in more though.

Julien is smooth, suave and a complete teddy bear. I only saw a glimpse of the "Prick" he was regarded as. Learning and understanding a little of his back history completing puts that attitude in to perspective though. 

Robbie is still lovable and fabulous. He had me smiling through the whole book. His heartache was palpable after Tate and Logan got married, but I think now he realized that there are others that are willing to give him "everything."

I really enjoyed these three. I was super shocked by the reaction that some had for their arrangement. Surprised is more like it. But when I read more I realized that it was guilt and protectiveness fueling that reaction. Priest, Julien and Robbie are doing what is best for them. They are following their hearts. I'm super excited to see how things go as more wrenches are thrown in their plans.

Remember Me When (The Unforgettable Duet #2) ~ Brooke Blaine

My worst nightmare and your greatest fear became a reality:

You don’t remember me.

You don’t remember the accident, or the weeks afterward.

You don’t remember my bed as your safe place,

or when, against all odds, you fell for me.

You remember me only as the casual acquaintance you saw as you grabbed your daily coffee.

Three sugars, two creamers.

Perhaps an acquaintance is all I’ll ever be to you now.

Maybe I can shoulder the heartbreak and the loss of you, if it means you’ll be happy.

Unless…

You remember me when.

Remember Me When is the second and final book in The Unforgettable Duet and should only be read following Forget Me Not.

I just love Reid and Ollie. So much so, that I didn't want their story to end. The angst and heartbreak, along with the love and emotion hit me right in the feels. I'd say the only downside to this book was that it was the end. 

I have always been a fan of Brooke's and the Unforgettable Duet did not disappoint. The flashbacks and memories were easy to follow and you could understand the timeline. Even though Reid suffered memory loss, his "visions" replayed had me gushing all over again at how sweet these two characters are. 

I was so proud of Reid's mom and her cry for help. It takes a lot to try to do what was best for your child, but really not know what that is. She always had his best interests at heart, even if she wasn't sure what would make Reid's confusion better. 

I was pissed at Ollie a bit, but of course he redeemed himself. He truly is one of the good guys. He is someone that should be snatched up and held on to, to mirror Holland's words. ::wink wink:;

I can't say enough about these two. I wish their story didn't wrap up so quickly. I wanted more. Great characters and a great finale to the duet. 

Forget Me Not (The Unforgettable Duet, #1) ~ Brooke Blaine

Three sugars, two creamers. 
That’s how you took your coffee every morning at Joe’s Grab ’N Go.
But you don’t remember that. 
You don’t remember anything. 
Anything, that is, except me…
That day…
And the tragedy that catapulted us together. 

This book was amazing! I absolutely loved Ollie and Reid's story....or the beginning of their story. Because I definitely need more of these two. They are just lovable and so much fun.

I instantly fell in love with Ollie. He's a sweet and sexy paramedic that has a huge heart. While his past influenced why he became a paramedic, he is nothing short of a hero. The tragedy that threw Reid and Ollie together is scary and heart wrenching. Emotional overload. 

Reid is so much more than what Ollie was lusting after. Watching the two of them grow close just melted my heart. Reid is adorable and sweet while trying to find his way. Unfolding pieces of his past tugged at my heart strings and made me hurt for him. I'm glad that Ollie was there to help him heal. This hit me right in the feels. 

I love Brooke's writing and her characters. I have been a fan for a while and this story did not disappoint. I did want to beat her with the ending that she gave us, but knowing I don't have to wait too long for the continuation of Ollie and Reid's story definitely helps.
