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.

If you like m/m erotica, it's a great book - but not the best audiobook.

I'll always treasure this masterpiece by Ella
Reviewed: 11-28-22
I fell in love with Logan and Tate during the course of 6 books over 4 years of their very complex history which brought me to tears many times, but also gave me incomparable joy.
Ella weaved an outstanding love story between 2 characters whose lives were so different I could not imagine them falling in love initially, and ultimately staying together so gloriously. I cried many times as this story traversed unbelievable emotional depths that broke my heart, but the highs made me thank the author for her perception and writing skill that made me fall in love even more with her characters.
I loved these guys so much I didn't want to write a review for ANY of the books as that would make me acknowledge the end to this incredible and wonderful series which affected me at such a complex emotional level.
If u haven't read or listened to any of these books please get them SOON as you are missing out on an emotional journey that should not be missed even though ur heart will break at times. I will forever treasure meeting Logan and Tate, my favourite all-time heroes whose story I re-read over the years and listen to whenever I really needed them.
On re-reading this review I realized that I omitted a very important content warning. The sex in this series is extremely graphic. M/M romances typically contain a lot of sex and most readers of the genre expect this, however the sex in these books may be more graphic than some readers expect. I have been reading M/M romances for decades and was not shocked at the frequency and graphic nature of this series, but if u r a newbie to the genre u may be shocked at the explicit nature and frequency of the sex.
In closing, Ella you are the best. I have most of u r books in my library and I love them, but when Logan and Tate came into my life you gave me 2 romantic heroes that I will treasure forever. I have re-read and listened to these books more often than I have any of my other favourite series by ANY author, which should indicate how much I appreciate ur writing and the exquisite way u handled the complexity of the many sensitive issues in this series. Bravo!

Miro Jones is living the life; he's got his exciting, fulfilling job as a US deputy marshal, his gorgeous Greystone in suburban Chicago, his beloved adopted family, and most importantly, the man who captured his heart, Ian Doyle. Problem is, Ian isn't just his partner at work - Ian's a soldier through and through. That commitment takes him away from Miro, unexpectedly and often, and it's casting a shadow over what could be everything Miro could ever dream of.

Miroslav and Ian have wrung every bit of excitement out of this story. Their job and love for each other conflict more in book 3, and I can't wait to see how they resolve Dr. Hartley's fixation with Miro in book 4 and give him his comeuppance.

Forty-five-year-old English professor Nathan Qells is very good at making people feel important. What he's not very good at is sticking around afterward. He's a nice guy; he just doesn't feel things the way other people do. So even after all the time he's spent taking care of Michael, the kid across the hall, he doesn't realize that Michael's mob muscle uncle and guardian, Andreo Fiore, has slowly been falling in love with him. Dreo has bigger problems than getting Nate to see him as a potential partner.

Reviewed: 04-18-22
I loved this book so much that I listened to it about 10 times. I was engaged with the plot and the author's ingenuity in keeping my interest by switching characters around and the timing. Also, the younger characters were so marvelously portrayed that I fell hooelessly in love and wanted to hug and take them home with me.

You belong to me and I know it down deep, in muscle and bone, where my wolf lives. Avery Rhine isn’t an average homicide detective with the Chicago PD. In fact, Avery isn’t an average anything. Sure, as an omega he knows he’s at the bottom of the food chain, but that’s never slowed him down. He’s got a great life, complete with a loving family and a best friend who’d take a bullet for him, so what more could he possibly want or need? Except, maybe, for the world to change.

Arlo Wright’s introduction to his sexuality came when he saw his older brother’s best friend, Jack Cooper, in his sweaty football kit. Unfortunately, he didn’t have long to enjoy the revelation because he promptly knocked himself out on a table. Relations between them have never really moved on from that auspicious beginning. Arlo is still clumsy, and Jack is still as handsome and unobtainable as ever. However, things look like they’re starting to change when Arlo finds himself sharing a room with Jack while on holiday in Amsterdam at Christmas.

Is it really wrong to want to murder your boss? Dylan has worked for Gabe for two years. Two long years of sarcastic comments. Two long years of insults, and having to redo the coffee pot four times in the mornings to meet his exacting standards. Not surprisingly he has devoted a lot of time to increasingly inventive ways to murder Gabe. From stabbing him with a cake fork, to garrotting him with his expensive tie, Dylan has thought of everything. However, a chance encounter opens his eyes to the attraction that has always lain between them, concealed by the layers of antipathy.
