TAKE - verb: to reach for and hold in one's hands or get into one's possession, power or control. Logan Mitchell is a man who's always been more than happy to take what he wants. It's a philosophy that's proven lucrative in both his business and personal life, and never was it more apparent than the night he laid eyes on Tate Morrison. After pulling out all the stops and convincing the sexy bartender to give him a try--he's hooked. Now, Logan finds himself in a predicament that demands more from him than a smart-ass answer and his innate ability to walk away when things get too deep. He has a choice to make, and it'll force him to do something he's never done before--take a chance. Tate Morrison knows all about taking a chance. He took the biggest one of his life the night he showed up at Logan's apartment to explore his unexpected reaction to the man. Ever since then, he's thought about little else. At first he was convinced his attraction was based solely on his body's curiosity. But the more time he spends with the silver-tongued lawyer, the more Tate realizes that their physical chemistry is only the beginning. He's starting to catch a glimpse of what life with Logan would be like, and it's one full of excitement and satisfaction--a far cry from what he had in the past with his soon to be ex-wife. Each man will face their fears as they begin to understand the true meaning of give and take. Their feelings for one another will be tested, as will their very beliefs. But now that they've found love where they least expected it, will they be brave enough to reach out and take it?… (more)

Logan and Tate

Part two was everything I expected it to be. These two are perfect and I can't wait to read Trust. ( )

So you are here now. Are you reading the review because you want to know how I feel about the serial? Okay, easy I LOVED THESE BOOKS. Are you here because you read all three and curious how I feel about book two? Well, read on.

"Wait...love?"

Oh, boy is Logan in for it now. Watch as the biggest playboy falls in a huge way. This was such an emotional middle of their story, as it should be. Nothing is ever easy in a relationship. Tate has huge obstacles to overcome. And Logan does too. How do you do a relationship and do both parties well.

This serial was a first time read from this author from me. Boy, did Ms Frank ever deliver hitting all the high points on what I love in a same sex romance. This middle got me in the feels. But these boys, I wanted to help them overcome all the storm of unnecessary stuff in having to deal with the complete and utter narrow-minded. If you read book 1, you definitely want to continue Logan and Tate's story. 5 out of 5 stars.

I loved Try. It was my first M/M read and opened me up to a whole amazing world of books. It will always be special to me. As much as I loved Try, I just gotta say Take blows it away. Take fulfilled all that I wanted it to be. Right from the start it had me.
Dedication
To Logan,
Because around you, all I want to do is fall without thought.
—Tate

The story starts off beautifully, picking up right where book one left-off. The waters have calmed for a bit, and the two gorgeous men are having some fun together. The boys have somewhat of a role reversal. We witness a more vulnerable side of Logan and a more dominate side of Tate which leads to lots of sexy and sweet moments. Ummm, bossy Tate.
Logan's jaw was nice and loose when it came to pleasuring Tate.

Almost as if he couldn't help it, Logan's fingers automatically found their way into his curls whenever he sat down beside the guy, and Tate fucking loved it.

Logan and Tate go to their first couples' game night. If you've read Ella's Exquisite series you will recognize Mason & Lena, Cole & Rachel and Josh & Shelly. Cole you would remember from Try as Logan's brother. I'm a big #ColeWhore and pretty partial to #DeliciousDaniels so it's great seeing these characters pop up again. The best is Shelly and Logan meeting for the first time. Shelly and Logan both have zero filter so the conversation stays interesting.

Then L&T go for a family dinner at Tate's family's house. Logan and Diana have a confrontation. In my mind, during this scene, I heard that movie line "Ahh, kitty likes to scratch." Catty Logan is lovely.

After that gathering, things got emotional for me. I was sad about some things and mad about others. I'm not going to tell why. Just know that this book isn't just about the fun chase that was book one. This is the serious nitty gritty make a relationship work or don't book two.

Of course one scene that must be mentioned is the shower scene. But really there are so many scenes that stand out: the car, the picnic, the wall. This book really is the best mix of sexy and sweet. I loved every word. I can't wait for the next installment.
He slipped his palm into Tate's and moved in closer to whisper, "In case I get busy in there and don't say it, thank you."
"For?" Tate asked as his eyes softened.
Logan squeezed his fingers, and as they started walking inside, he answered, "Always being willing to try."

I could never write a good enough review to do it justice. Just know that I loved it, and it's one of my top reads for the year.

6 stars!! I heart Tate and Logan so much!! This is one of my all time favorite series!!

*ARC provided to G the Book Diva blog in exchange for an honest review* MASSIVE GIVEAWAY BELOW!

**My Quick Two-Cents Rant**
I know some may feel a certain way about the m/m genre and that it might not be for them. Cool. Other m/m genre lovers may not like this story because they feel they have read better representations, and to each their own! My only hope is if you're feeling iffy then check out this series for yourself and dislike it because you've decided it based on your own feelings, not because someone else disliked it for you. Just sayin...

Moving on...

This was me before and after I read this!


"In case I get busy in there and don't say it, thank you."
"For?" Tate asked as his eyes softened. Logan squeezed his fingers and as they started walking inside, he answered.
"Always being willing to try."




LOVE A MILLION TIMES OVER!!

Book one was about "Try"ing. Tate opened his mind to something new while Logan opened his heart to something he vowed to never would.

Book two is about having the courage to "Take" what you want no matter what other's might say. Tate and Logan are in uncharted relationship territory. They've made the decision that no matter what lies ahead, they'll move forward together but it's proving to be a lot harder then they thought. While the unexpected consequences of their decision are devastating to them both I love how both ultimately choose to go with their hearts.

I will remain a loyal fan of the Temptation series! I love the Alpha male appeal of Tate and Logan and the way Ella Frank writes about them. She can do no wrong! Aside from the fact that this series is highly flammable, I like the way these characters are built, there is a lot of depth. They feel very real. If I had to pick two fictional male characters I wanted to see be happy together, it's Tate and Logan! Love my boys!

Will I drop everything when Book 3 is released?



You know it!
