This book was a 4.5, come on goodreads where are the half stars up in this?
Tate and Logan are strong and I like that this book shows the little bit of vulnerability they have as a couple. It shows that even the strongest relationships go through the ringer every once and a while without a huge blow up and break up. Ella was able to show you can fight for what you want but also see things from your partners perspective. You can be angry and not understand but still love that person enough to know your relationship will be fine.

To Tate,
From the very beginning I had a plan for my life.
But it wasn’t until we met that I knew it was you.
~Logan

All I'm gonna say is, I'm right here with my fingers crossed, praying that Ella Frank steps on a god damn Lego for the fucking shit show she slapped me in the face.

How dare she.

How fucking DARE Tate stupid o'fucking Morrison even exist to say his stupid words.

I can't believe that asshole made the same mistake TWICE.

MY LOGAN DESERVES BETTER.

William Tate Morrison.
God, just his name alone made Logan’s body undergo an immediate reaction. Whether it be a ridiculous smile on his face at the mention of it, or the urge to slide his damn hand between his legs because he wanted to groan it out loud. The person who belonged to that name had managed to completely alter what Logan had always assumed would be the trajectory of his life.

And by the bitterness rubbing off me and this sorry ass review, don't ask me why I'm rating this HIGHER THAN THIS SHOULD'VE DESERVED.

Well, I actually have an answer for that, and it is ONLY for the first 50% of this book that spoke, healed and trembled my soul with the delicate touches of sweetest nature found between Tate and Logan. And for the other half of this book? All my love, and fucking devotion goes to Logab Mitchell. Stupid William doesn't deserve him and he should fucking kiss the walk Logan walks on to even step into a non-nuclear section of me not wanting to bash his head.


(also, the amount of times I said FUCK YOU TATE overnight while I tried to regain my sanity is UNRIVALED)




initial reactions

I don't know who I hate more. Take fucking stupid ass Morrison, or Ella Frank who I so want to strangle.

hell if I know if I want to rate this 2 stars or 4.

4.5 stars

I think by now you all have seen quite a few reviews of this talking about the 53% mark, and it is fairly brutal, I have to say. We've been with these two for four and a half books, we've seem them fall absolutely head of over heels in love, we've seen them endure a lot of shit, and we've seen how ridiculously happy they are together. So what Tate says at that point is completely a surprise, and it feels like it makes no sense, to me at least, until we get Tate's explanation of why he said what he said.

It still felt like it hurt me just as much as it hurt Logan, and even though they work through it, as they two amazing men always do, what happens at that 53% mark colors the rest of their interactions for me, even the good ones, and I was getting SO antsy that by the end we wouldn't

But even through all that, I fucking loved that STILL, these two never gave up on each other. They faltered, there were tears, and pain, but these two could never walk away from each other (which

would make you think it would make Tate realize he didn't have to be so scared, and that they would always be together, but nope!

Anyway, this was a great installment in the series, and it dealt with, mainly Tate, hence the title, dealing with some baggage he'd thought he'd gotten past with the return of his sister into his life. Tate has some shit to get through in this one, while Logan is surprisingly mostly settled - he'll always have his own issues, but he seems mostly at peace with them - and while we got Logan ready for marriage with the love of his life in the last book, this one was Tate getting to that place of being ready too. To do that, he had to deal with some issues he kind of buried in the past to start his new life with Logan.

The thing I loved though, was that these two were still always, always working through their shit together. That is how you make relationships last. Never giving up on each other, and always willing to talk to each other. Plus, it lead to a wonderful scene where they make love and it is BEAUTIFUL. And hot. There are several extremely hot sex scenes between these two in this. They're always amazing together.

Also, these two move into a house together. It is adorable, these two are adorable and in love and it makes me so giddy!

I seriously cannot wait for the last book in this wonderful series.

Spoiler

They gonna get married!!! <333 ahsdKshda

Definitely a must read if you've continued on with the books. :D

OK…I don’t want to give anything away to anyone so my review is going to be short and sweet. I love Logan and Tate. They are still one of my favorite book couples ever. Logan is my man…I absolutely love everything about him.

Every time I try to write anything else, it feels spoiler-ish and I don’t want to do that. I wasn’t thrilled with how things played out in this book. If you want to chat with me about that, please PM me.

Am I glad I read it? Yes. Will I read the next one? Yes. Is it my favorite of the series? No. Do I still love Logan and Tate? Yes.

I do hope Priest gets a spin-off book though.

Leaving you with this funny…
Logan (to Cole) started to chuckle. “Yes. I feel like you used to be smarter than this.”

didn't really like the birthday scene but Frank's writing is growing on me... and it is getting a bit better (I didn't enjoy it much at first).

Double this 5 star rating and that would accurate babes

Wow!! Miss Ella has out done her self again!
Logan and Tate's story evolves perfectly in this chapter of their lives. The issues, events and emotions that both men deal with in this book really takes the readers by both hands and makes it feel like you're right there with them. Word after word in this book just has you so emotionally connected with Logan and Tate. And some very heart stopping moments really top the whole story off.

4.5⭐

This was an extremely enjoyable addition to the Temptation Series, and one that had me completely hooked from beginning to end.

Even though there are no new huge twists in the storyline or any life changing revelations. Just these two fantastic characters continuing to navigate their relationship, as they move into their new home and start to try to build bridges with Tate's sister Jill and her family.

But that is what I loved about Tate. Not to mention Logan and Tate are as fun and entertaining as ever, as well as ridiculously hot and heavy, and I really can't wait to get my hands on book six when it's released in January.

As for Tate and the rest of the Temptation Series. I would happily recommend it to all.

Oh my heart!!!
