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?
Excerpt:
Before Tate could respond to the question hanging between them, Logan palmed his chest and pushed him back into the corner of the couch. When his back met with the soft leather, a strong thigh slid between his legs, and Tate groaned from the relief of finally having something hard to press against.
“Yeah, that’s it,” Logan encouraged, placing a hand on the back of the couch and the other on the armrest behind Tate’s head. Using them as an anchor, Logan rolled his hips downward and proved just how forceful he could be.
Tate’s head was resting against the couch as Logan looked down between them while he thrust his hips, over and over, creating a heated friction that had Tate’s mind spinning out of his head. The sexual hunger in Logan’s eyes as he watched their clothed bodies connecting made Tate wonder just how combustible things would be when their clothes finally came off.
Feeling the need to touch, now more than ever, Tate grabbed a hold of Logan’s hips and pulled the man down against him with much more force than he’d intended. The delicious pressure of having Logan’s shaft grind against his own was too much to forgo, so Tate arched up, anxiously meeting the steady rub Logan was giving with every single punch of his hips.
“Fuck,” Logan muttered.
"I like to try a little bit of everything and everyone...I'd like to try you."
Try is a new erotic male/male romance written by Ella Frank
(who is famously known for her Exquisite series). Wow, just WOW! Logan and Tate (two smokin’
sexy and scrumptious males for the price of one). Hmm, where in the world should
we start?!
We briefly met Logan in Edible. Straight away you realize Logan lacks any kind of filter;
this man is the epitome of arrogant and makes absolutely no excuses for who he
is or how he lives his life and that includes his sex life...indulging in both women
and men. This domineering alpha knows no boundaries; you’ll find a man who
frequently crosses that line without thought to anyone other than himself. Logan
is definitely flirty, sarcastic, assertive, and tenacious. He brings a whole
other meaning to determined, unless it comes down to emotions and commitment, those are two things he doesn't bother concerning himself with.
Tate’s the new sexy as all get out bartender at Logan's
favorite bar. He is one hell of a flirt (not to mention wicked delicious), and
knows exactly how to garner tips as well as attention from his customers. The
thing is his past relationship has left him feeling very cautious and the last
thing he ever imagines is becoming insanely attracted to another man. However, Tate definitely gets more than he bargains for the instant he comes face to face with
Logan.
Logan is damn pushy and the word NO doesn't exist anywhere
in this bad boy’s dictionary. He takes what he wants when he wants it with no
concern to the consequences. In all honestly, poor Tate didn’t stand a chance
against a forward, sometimes overbearing, and assertive Logan. His pursuit
totally challenges everything Tate knows to be morally and socially acceptable,
the lust and attraction confuses the hell out of him; rocking Tate's whole
perception of himself on its axis. Together Logan and Tate challenged each other.
We LOVED Logan! OMG! Loved! His flirty dirty mouth and alpha
male tendencies had us laughing out loud and fanning ourselves! With the way he
acted and things he said, he often came off like an arrogant a**hole. Nevertheless,
he had enough charm and vulnerability to still be likable. And Tate...sweet,
confused, lovable Tate. We absolutely adored him too! What we loved the most
about him is that even though he was unsure and new to all of it, he also displayed
underlying bossy male domineering traits. So although he was essentially the
sweeter, gentler of the two, he had a backbone that never hesitated to push
back. They really did compliment each other well.
Both Tate and
Logan are pushed to try and experience something totally out of character. And
in the end they challenge the other to change his whole outlook on what he
thought he wanted out of life; they offer each other the opportunity at a new unconventional
type of relationship, one that opens them up to a whole new set of emotions, consequences,
and rewards. Tate offers Logan the opportunity to see another human being as being
more than a conquest; he encourages him to look beneath the surface to the man that
he could care about and who could care about him. In turn, Logan shows Tate
that attraction and desire comes in all shapes and sizes…and genders. It’s not
always about finding affection and comfort within the norm. Sometimes when you
step outside the box you find that compatibility can’t be defined within black
and white lines.
"The biggest truth is that we're both trying something new, and you know what? We both love it."
"So what is your truth, Logan?"
"I think you are."
Individually and together these two
have so many more obstacles to overcome, they are both so insecure and fearful that it shows in their reactions towards one another. As with any
relationship they are bound to make mistakes, especially since neither one is
standing on solid ground. However, even during those rough "want to bang your
head against the wall" moments, they managed to provide support to each other. Not to mention their attraction was so damn strong
they couldn't really find it within themselves to resist each other, even if
they repeatedly tried. Logan and Tate just sparked so much all-consuming
chemistry and need.
"It's been real since the moment I realized that I couldn't stop thinking about you."
Ella’s characters are always well developed with hidden
depth, so we love when she provides us with both points of view; allowing us
the chance to really dig deep into the characters thoughts and emotions to feel
their inner turmoil. This book had humor, flirtation, steam, and intense
emotional and physical chemistry. Ella
is a queen at writing erotic scenes as well as sexy explorations, while still
allowing the story and the characters to move forward and progress. Even though
their relationship initially centered on lust and sex, it was also the
foundation for self-discovery, learning about
each other and providing more opportunity to become more intensely involved emotionally. Ella Frank continues
to surprise us as she takes on different genres. And just like with her other
fantastic books, she nailed it. Try surpassed our expectations.
Logan and Tate still have a lot to work out and fortunately for us they will
have more time to do it in TAKE, which releases in the summer of 2014. We cannot wait! We are so ready for more Logan and Tate.
Thanks to Ella Frank for providing us with an ARC in
exchange for honest review.
