Review: Try (Temptation #1) by Ella Frank

 Kumiko Lei     4 Stars, Ella Frank, Review, Temptation, Try     No comments   


Try – verb: to make an attempt or effort to do something or in this case…someone.

Sex. Logan Mitchell loves it, and ever since he realized his raw sexual appeal at a young age, he has had no problem using it to his advantage. Men and women alike fall into his bed—after all, Logan is not one to discriminate. He lives by one motto—if something interests you, why not just take a chance and try?

And he wants to try Tate Morrison.

Just coming out of a four-year marriage with an ex-wife from hell, a relationship is the last thing on Tate’s mind. He’s starting fresh and trying to get back on his feet with a new job at an upscale bar in downtown Chicago.

The only problem is, Tate has caught the unwavering and unwelcome attention of Mr. Logan Mitchell – a regular at the bar and a man who always gets what he wants.

Night after night Tate fends off the persistent advances of the undeniably charismatic man, but after an explosive moment in the bar, all bets are off as he finds his body stirring with a different desire than his mind.

As arrogance, stubbornness and sexual tension sizzles between the two, it threatens to change the very course of their lives.

Logan doesn’t do relationships. Tate doesn’t do men. But what would happen if they both just gave in and…tried?

GENRE: M/M

Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect from this.  While this wasn't my first M/M, this one hit me differently than the others had.  I'll admit, in the past I've been a little uncomfortable reading this genre, but I read it anyway because sometimes its the uncomfortable things that are the most remarkable.

Oddly enough, I wasn't uncomfortable reading this.  At all.  But I still think it is remarkable.

Logan and Tate's relationship had me from the beginning.  The push and pull, the whole dynamic between them was amazing.  It drew me in, I think even more so because it was two men.

While I was reading it though, I wasn't even thinking in the context of it being two men, I was just thinking its two people that are attracted to each other and this extended to the sex scenes.  They were written so sensually and beautifully that all I could think about was the beauty of what they were doing.  And that right there made it hot as hell.

For people who take issue with the M/M genre, this may be a book for them try.  Maybe while reading this they will be able to see the beauty behind it and open their minds a little bit more.

Ella Frank has a way with words.  With each new book I read from her I am blown away all over again. She writes things so beautifully that even when its not a tear-worthy moment, I still want to cry.  I think she is amazing.
