Review, Excerpt & Giveaway! Trust, Temptations #3 by Ella Frank



TRUST – verb: to believe in the reliability, truth, or strength of another. 


Up until now, Logan Mitchell has never had much of a reason to trust anyone. 

Having struggled with a self-identity crisis throughout college, he’s spent the years since then creating a sophisticated facade to present to the world. 

It’s an armor he thought was impenetrable—until he met Tate Morrison. 

The gorgeous, headstrong bartender he’d sat across from only months ago has taken a tight hold of his heart, and Logan is discovering that it’s time to let go. 

It’s time to let someone inside. 

After years of placing his dreams on hold for his family, Tate has finally chosen to do what makes him happy and follow his heart. 

The one thing he never would’ve imagined was that it would lead him into the arms of a man—and not just any man—the striking, never-takes-no-for-an-answer Logan Mitchell. 

Tate has fallen hard, and as his world is turned on its axis and they move forward together, he finds his life becoming more entwined with the confident, successful lawyer. 

Even though neither man expected the other, it’s time to trust in their relationship—but not everything comes so easily…


“What’s wrong with my hair? Are you saying I need to cut it?” 

“No, I’m fucking not,” Logan said as he fingered the curls by Tate’s ear. “And you know it.” 

“What would you do if I did shave my head?” 

“Kill you? And likely get away with it since I have connections to a very reputable law firm.” 

Tate chuckled and shoved Logan until he was on his back beside him. “Be serious.” 

Logan turned his head on the pillow and ran his eyes over Tate’s full head of hair. Then he returned his gaze to the eyes watching him. “I would quite possibly cry. For days.” 

“Over my hair? It does grow back, you know.” 

“Yeah, but not for months,” he grumbled. “Can you please stop talking so calmly about this? You’re making me nervous.” 

Tate shifted until his long, lean body was stretched out above him, and Logan widened his legs to allow him to settle in between. 

“Don’t worry,” Tate assured him as he lowered his head to kiss the corner of his mouth. He then moved those teasing lips to Logan’s ear and whispered, “I like your hands in it too much to cut it off.” 

Logan threaded his fingers through the thick waves and asked, “Like this?” 

With a groan, Tate rocked his hips against him, and Logan twisted his fingers tighter. 

“Exactly like that.” 

“Good,” he said as he wound his legs around Tate’s. “Because this way, I can have a tight hold on you when you’re trying to distract me. I’m onto you, Mr. Morrison. Don’t try to use your body against me.” 

He almost lost his willpower when Tate, the cocky fucker, placed his hands on either side of his head and rubbed their erections together. 

“You don’t want me to use my body on you?” 

“Fuck you,” Logan said, knowing full well that, if he didn’t change the subject or get Tate the hell off him, he was going to roll him over and cease talking altogether. 

Usually he’d love nothing more, but right now, he wanted to know why Tate had reacted so strongly to his question from last night—well, early morning . 

“We need to talk.”


And we’re reached the end (maybe) of Logan and Tate’s story. It’s been a wild ride. We’ve seen them meet, fall in love, fall apart and fall together again. 

We’ve seen Logan change from the guy who didn’t even know the meaning of the word commitment to the perfect (for Tate) boyfriend.

If I have to be completely honest, I’d admit that I was a little bit afraid to read this book. Why? Because Logan and Tate’s love story is not conventional. These guys are not perfect, far from it. Them finding each other and, later on, falling unknowingly almost in a relationship neither expected is an intricate story.

First of all, they’ll have to discover who they really are and what they want because, apparently, what they always thought they knew as truth was only a pretense. 

Tate is a sweet, caring, honest, dependable man who’s trying to put his life back on track after a failed marriage and working really hard to make his dream come true.

He has a strong will and, despite not having a very supporting family, he allows no one derail him from his path.

But one night he meets arrogant, overconfident and all around annoying Logan and both their lives will forever change.

He’s a damn good lawyer who started from scratch and made it big time. He’s determined and he knows how to get what he wants. And he’s a little bit of a man slut. Well … at least until he meets Tate.

For being her first try at M/M Romance let me tell you that Ella did a wonderful job. The story is captivating, intriguing and the writing is flawless. Just when you think you have it all figured out, something happens and the story takes a whole new turn.These books are like a drug, you won’t be able to put them down. 

Trust was the perfect ending. At least perfect for these characters. Exactly what I was hoping and more.

I don’t know what else to say except, READ IT!!

I highly recommend this series. It has become one of my favorites, one I re-read each and every time with the same pleasure and never get bored of it.

I really hope Ella will decide to write more about Logan and Tate in the future but, even if she doesn’t, there are no loose ends, no situations left unsolved. Simply perfect.

Happy reading!!
