Confessions: Robbie (Confessions Series Book 1)

Confessions: Robbie (Confessions #1) by Ella Frank
5 stars!!!

“But as he knelt there between two men he never could’ve imagined himself between, he felt as though he’d finally found home.”

Damn Ella Frank and her threesomes. Damn, this book, seriously. Three totally different characters that shouldn’t work at all and yet together it’s just harmony. These three men, oh my god, they stole my heart. Individually you have elements you just adore about them and other parts that make you think urgh…and yet the qualities you don’t like, complement the others and it fades into insignificance. It just goes to show how love can change a person and how everyone needs a partner to balance them, or in this case partners.

“I’ve always been told two is better than one. I’m starting to believe that is the case.”

Robbie was the bar manager at the Popped Cherry and a man that had always had a huge crush on Logan. When Logan and Tate got married Robbie was crushed and it is this that spurs him into action when it comes to a certain chef that was begging for his number. Thus begins the story of the Priest, the Princess and the Prick.

“I never knew that was you.”
“I know,” Priest said. “You weren’t ready to see.”

Julien aka the Prick, is the hot as hell chef that Robbie has had his eye on, someone he had admired on the TV even if his demeanour gave him the nickname of the Prick. But person to person Julien is nothing like the man he was on the TV. This man has baggage, a whole heap of baggage but he has had one man in his life that has kept him on the straight and narrow, a man who has always been his biggest supporter, confidante and lover…that is his husband, Priest.

“Smile, mon cher petit. You make everything that’s dark fade to nothing when you smile.”

Priest, wow, what a turnaround. This man is nothing like the persona he portrays. Again, more baggage than a 747, but it is his husband, Julien that centres him. Priest has a heart of gold, something I would never have guessed and behind closed doors, this man will have your ovaries and hearts combusting with just how much you love and admire him.

“You will never find another person who cares more than Priest. If there’s someone he can help, someone he can make a difference for, he’ll do it. He’s not easy to understand, that’s true. But once you do, you’ll wonder why it took you so long.”

Julien and Priest are both alphas in their own way, Priest more than Julien and they have always dabbled with a third. Now, though, the dabbling is old, and they want a stable mate. One that is in it for the long haul. One that will be a forever type, one they can love, let in and make them all whole. OMG, it was STUNNING.

Ella Frank never fails to deliver for me, whether it be contemporary romance, paranormal, fantasy or her hot as hell MM, or in this case MMM. The emotion that has been poured into this book is second to none and how these characters develop before your eyes was breath taking. First appearances and opinions often stick, and it takes a lot for someone to redeem themselves, but once you understand these characters as individuals the rest just comes naturally. All three of these men have their issues, they are all lacking something in their lives to make it complete and when Robbie completes the trifecta, perfect harmony is established.

“We don’t want to change you to suit us. We want you because of who you already are.”

As with any Ella Frank read this book is seriously HOT, I mean a furnace is tame compared to the heat packed between these pages. This woman seriously knows how to bring her men to life, both in and out of the sheets and kindles will definitely need freezer time. But more than the sex, the emotional connection between these three was stunning. Ella Frank takes her time in its development and it only makes you appreciate the trust between these three all the more. This is the first in a series and I cannot wait to see how these three develop going further. The past seems to be a problem for Julien and Priest, so I cannot wait to know just what has made these two men, them. Amazing start to a series.

Holy MOMMA. Dear God...forgive me for I have sinned. Reading this book was just absolute pure, divine, heaven. Better than chocolate. I'm without words. Ella Frank, my dear, you've earned your place next to my other two favorite authors. I will be re-reading all this all the time!

I received this book as an advanced review copy and I’ll admit, I was apprehensive. I fell in love with Robbie the moment his character was introduced in Try, and BEGGED for his story. But I was adamant I’d never read a m/m/m book. Then Robbie was written and I HAD to read it. Not only because it’s a book written by Ella, but because it’s Robbie. And I am so freaking glad I did. Ella did amazing catching three distinct, and different, personalities, and you will fall in love with each of them. I loved this book and was so upset when it was over. Amazing job and I am so glad I took a chance on it.

Confession (nope, no pun): I have never read MMM. Heck I don't read MMF or MFM all that much. It's the idea of one person usually being added to an established relationship. It makes it difficult for me to believe that all partners in a three-way relationship are equally well loved and there is no imbalance and one of them is left behind, emotionally. So going into "Robbie: Confessions" was a bit of challenge for me but since Ella Frank has written one of my favorite MM series it was a no-brainer that I at the very least TRY (see what I did there?).

 
This trilogy about  starts off pretty much where the last book of the Temptation series ended. it's about Robbie Bianchi, Julien Thornton and Joel Priestley, also dubbed The Princess, The Prick and The Priest. With a triple point of view Ella Frank ensures that we get a good feel for all three main characters and their thought processes.
 
From the first moment Robbie's sassy and fun personality was introduced in TRY he brought a cheeky element into the story. In consistency with Temptation he continues to be the loud, proud, playful and endearing young man, who lights up a room with his cheerful and sweet disposition. He is pure sunshine. That is not to say that he doesn't have a care in this world. Like all people he has had painful experiences but he doesn't dwell on it and moves forward with his eyes wide open. Robbie is a firecracker and with him The Priest and The Prick get more than they bargained for.

I think we met Joel Priestley for the first time in Ella Frank & Brooke Blaine's love child, the #PresLocked series. He was still living in LA until Logan and Cole (Temptation series) invited him to become a full partner at their law firm. The intense, stoic and closed off Priest has always been an enigma. From the moment Robbie and the charismatic lawyer meet they rub each other the wrong way. In "Robbie" we get to know the real Joel Priestley and he was. UTTER. PERFECTION.

I'm totally gone for him. He is protective of those he loves, caring in an unassuming way, which is surprising for an intense man like him and it was then that I fell head over heels in love with him. He is the pillar people use for support, the man everyone looks at for advice. But there is also a darker side about him and that manifests itself in Joel always being in control and deliciously dominant.

Lastly there is Julien, Priest's husband, who craves closeness and warmth. This and Robbie's zest for life attracts him to the spitfire. Julien is a tv chef with a bad reputation. He is charming, magnetic, a little impish and seductive. But like Priest he is also a top dog which makes their relationship a little complicated. There is no doubt that they love each other, there is always a sense of complete devotion but to balance out their natures they need a third party. Robbie complements them in every way. With his sunny, mischievous and precious personality he brings lightness and a beautiful sweetness into Joel and Julien's marriage that had been missing before.
 
Now. This is Ella Frank and we know what a DIRTY BIRD she is. She writes hands down some of the hottest, filthiest sex scenes and if you think Logan and Tate were hot, Priest, Julien and Robbie will incinerate your Kindle.
 
Remember when I said in the beginning that three-way relationships are always a little difficult for me? Robbie grows into this relationship. There is absolute transparency about what Priest and Julien expect and complete honesty about their feelings. I adore this. I love that they see the special young man Robbie is. He is being cherished and wooed and there is no doubt in my mind that the connection with him will end up being as deep as the one Priest and Julien share. It just comes so natural because there is no pretense and pure acceptance from the first moment. It's also all kinds of sweet to see Robbie slowly fall in love with the man he used to dislike so passionately.

The story is pretty light so far but I'm sure that Ms Frank will crank up the angst in the next installment. There is a lot in the past of Julien and Joel that needs to be explored and I'm sure there will be a little bit heartbreak along the way which will have my emotions all over the place. Well, Ella, bring. It. On.
 
"Robbie: Confessions" is a solid introduction to this new series. Joel Priestley, Julien Thornton and Robert Bianchi have charmed me and left me craving more for more of their unique, fascinating and surprisingly homogeneous constellation. The waiting for May begins, when Julien: Confessions will be released

I started with Logan, why? Because Logan is the one who started this story, and there's no Robbie without Logan.
I never realized until later, how much Robbie wanted Logan and loved him, heartbroken by him. Damn Logan and his charm.

Robbie gave Logan his two cents was the one made me added more star for this book.

But I was shocked to realized that after all this time, after all this years of knowing you were with him, I'd still been walking around with this misguided fantasy that one day, somehow, you would end up being mine.

Regrets only happen when you aren't brave enough to try something that scares you. I know that because I regret not feeling like I was enough for you, Because God, Logan...I loved you"

Then came Julien and Joel Priestley, and Robbie's world had change into something unbelievably beautiful. Julien and Priest were just what Robbie's need in his life, not Logan, not anyone else.

I loved how Julien and Priest put some effort to woe Robbie and made him felt respected, not just like some cheap third wheel in their marriage.
I liked the dynamic among the three of them, and how they completed each other, because after I read this, I'm pretty much sure, without Robbie, Julien and Priest won't be having a happy marriage life. Sure they love each other, there's no doubt about that, but there's one thing that only Robbie could fulfill, just what Julien told him...

"For me, it's your warmth , your smile, the happiness that radiates off you in waves. You're so passionate about things whether you're angry or excited, and that joy you have for life? It's contagious."

This book felt like a slow burn at least for me, but it wasn't. Robbie decided that he wanted Julien and Priest quite fast, considering he's already 'interested' for months with Julien and Priest.
They're all came with baggages, and I liked that Ella peeled the baggage one by one. This time Robbie's baggage, I believe, in the second book, we'll see what's really made Priest so uptight and guarded.
I enjoyed this book, I enjoyed Robbie, Julien and Priest journey finding their happiness. It's still a long process, but I believe that they'll find it someday.
And as for the sexy times, this is Ella Frank everyone, in case you need a reminder!

Talk about a seductive, sensual dance of characters. This book is a constant dance between Robbie and the married duo of Julien and Priest, and the sexual tension between them is at a constant high—even once they start becoming intimate. And once they’ve gone all in? All of that tension is released in spectacular fashion…because the connection between these three men is undeniable, and their physical chemistry makes the term “off the charts” seem trite. As a trio, these men fulfill each other in different ways, but what might have been missing as a duo becomes complete when all three are finally together.

While Confessions: Robbie is meant to be Robbie’s story, it is told from the points of view of all three men. The theme is seduction, but don’t take that to mean that sex is all Julien and Priest are looking for. In fact, they are actually looking for a whole lot more; “everything” as they say, and once Robbie finally grasps exactly what that means, it’s like his eyes—and mind—have been opened to an amazing new possibility. That dance? Julien and Priest are experts, and they are of a singular mind when it comes to Robbie.

All three men have their own issues…who doesn’t? Since this story is focused on Robbie, we get to see into his personal and family life—which for the most part is pretty good with an accepting family and at least one very good, solid friend. There’s a crappy ex in the past which we don’t get a lot of information about here, which makes me wonder if he might pop up in another book. But we also get a short look at Julien’s past and the sadness to be found there, as well as a troubling glimpse into Priest’s past that seems to be foreshadowing things to come in future stories.

I was sucked into the story so quickly, and was basically riveted to my screen through every single page. There’s incredible intensity and passion when all three men are in a scene of the story together, and that—along with the seriously high quality storytelling—completely had my attention. I felt connected to the characters, and am fully invested in their complete story…which means I’m now excitedly awaiting then next book in the series to see how their relationship develops from here.

Confessions: Robbie was a sensational 5-star read for me, and like most every Ella Frank book I read it’s easily earned a place on my Top Recommendations list. While there is more to come in the series, this book is mostly self-contained and even though some interesting tidbits are revealed that hint at conflict to come, you won’t be left with any huge cliffhangers…just maybe a worried niggle at the back of your mind. This book is meant for readers 18+ for adult language and explicit, erotic sexual content that will definitely get your heart rate up ;-)

Yeah Right just 5 stars.
That seems way to minimal for how this book made me feel....
Ella Frank has once again put me under a spell! Holy mother of God, Confessions: Robbie was so much more then I could have ever have asked for. It exceeded every one of my expectations. I thought it would be just another taboo sexual read.... How wrong I was! Robbie is full of depth and emotions. I should have known what I was in for, after all it is an Ella Frank book! She made the perfect trifecta with The Princess, The Prick and The Priest. I don't know which one I love more! They are all vastly different yet similar in many ways. Their individuality enhanced the story, but when they were all together... WOW that is when la vraie magie (the real magic) happened. Completly uninhibited, carnal, genuine and fervent! So much complexity and intrigue surrounding them. With each tid bit of information I received and with every sexual encounter, I was left yearning for for more!! There was so much heat, I thought I would combust, but beyond that was a deep seeded respect and admiration between the 3... Maybe even a budding love! They all balanced each other out beautifully.

Wait till you see the real Priest. Joel Priestly wormed himself right into my heart. With his dominance, control and gallantry. I loved getting to see a different side of him. The Prick Julien Thornton is another sight to behold. He runs deeper then his beautiful face and "I am better then you attitude." This man is pure unadulterated sex but love too. His intense connection and devotion with Priest was palpable. Last but certainly not least is our Princess Robbie Bianchi. If you liked or disliked him in the other books. Ah ha! Just wait! He will shock you. There is a light within him that effects everyone around him. How could Preist & Julien resist? This Trifecta is EPIC. They had me heated up, laughing out loud and ultimately swooning! Phew. This was one hell of a ride... It left me a jumbled mess. Needing sooooo much more. Bring on Julien's book. May can not come soon enough. As much as I ADORE Logan & Tate, these boys can give them a run for their money!

MMM may not be for everyone, but keep an open mind. This is pure fantasy! (Maybe reality for a few lucky ones. LOL)

Good but not great. I really enjoyed the story. I loved the dynamic between Priest and Julien. And with Robbie joining them bring in his own bit of spice was absolutely wonderful. Each man brought something to the table.

Priest, controlling and firm. His alpha maleness couldn’t be denied. He was just what Julien and Robbie needed. He set the scene and guided it from beginning to end. His skills weren’t limited to the bedroom they encompassed all aspect of his involvement with his husband which also extended to Robbie. His presence could be felt through the entire story. But it never once over shadowed Robbie.

Julien the pieces maker and arrogant at times love to surrender himself over to Priest capable hands. Julien past hunts him and the calmness and the take charge attitude of Priest pulls him out of his dark place of blame and regret.

Robbie pining for a man he could never have. Falls head-over-heels for two sexy man who wants him just as he is. Robbie is sassy, smart, funny, and brass brings in just the right element to balance out Priest and Julien’s harsher side.

A good story but not enough depth emotionally. However, I will continue on with the next story and the next one to see how it all wraps up.

I absolutely loved the "Temptation" series and I have been a big fan of Robbie, since he was introduced in "Try". I loved how he loved Logan, and I enjoyed his teasing ways ,when it came to Tate. But what I really wanted for him, was to find someone to call his own.... and boy did he !!

He didn't just find someone though....he found two someones ;)

Those of you, who have read the last book in the Temptation series, already know Julian "The Pr*ck" and Joel "The Priest". I was so very surprised to find out at the end of "True", that these two were married...and to each other no less. But what shocked me most was their desire for Robbie to join them...in more ways than one....

I am always a bit concerned, when I start a book about a Polyamorous relationship. I always worry, that one of the people involved, will feel left out for some reason. In this case, Priest and Julian were already married for quite some time....I didn't want Robbie to feel like he was an outsider... I shouldn't have though...

Now, I don't want to spoiler this book too much, but I do want to say, that I felt like these three really did belong together. They balanced each other out real nicely and I never picked up on any jealousy or unhappy vibes... The only thing I picked up on, was lots of UST ;)

"But as he knelt there between two men he never could've imagined himself between, he felt as though he'd finally found home."

This book was sweet and funny and extremely HOT and I can't wait to find out more about these three men. I know they all carry around lots of baggage, and I for one am very curious about their past.

An awesome start to a new series !! Highly recommended ;)

Better than I could have even imagined!!!

When Ella Frank began to make it clear at the end of the Try Series that there would be a series surrounding Robbie, I was intrigued but unsure if anything could measure up to Logan and Tate. I can unequivocally say that Robbie, Joel and Julien surpassed anything I could have ever imagined and I need MORE! I thought it would be difficult for Ella Frank to come up with a menage sex scene that would be just as steamy as reading about Logan and Tate but holy panty dropping...she totally nailed it!

Robbie finally takes up the offer of Julien and Priest in what he doesn't know at first. Expecting a hot night of unforgettable sex (and it was beyond hot and steamy) Robbie encounters so much more. Julien and Priest want Robbie to be a part of their everyday lives, a part of their marriage, a love that Robbie can see reflected with every look and touch. How can he not want to be a part of that?

Julien and Priest seem to have many secrets just below the surface that I am dying to find out about so that I can truly understand what makes each of them tick and why they are so open to this relationship, open to Robbie and why they have been looking for someone like him for so long.

I cannot wait to read more about this sexy trio (don't make us wait too long Ella) and I loved that you got to see a quick visit from Logan in this story as well.

AMAZING JOB! I need Confessions #2 like...yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!

4.5 stars

Once again Ella Frank has managed to pop yet another cherry for me. Robbie is my first true M/M/M and oh boy is it delicious! I admit I didn't know what exactly to expect with this one. I mean, I knew Robbie from the Temptation series but couldn't quite imagine him with the likes of a Priest or a Julien. Two men who could dampen the sparkle that is so Robbie with just one look or comment. But damn if our guy didn't stand his ground when the very married couple decided it's HE who they want to share their highly competitive lives. At that point I knew this ride would be one to savor. And I truly did.

I guess what sets apart this author from others in this genre is that it's not just about the sex between her characters. A true intimacy is always on the horizon with each person trying their best to achieve it. Robbie is probably the most 'settled' of the three as hints of past issues come to light for both Julien and Priest. With their forthcoming books, I'm sure we'll get to see what has caused the intensity they live with but for now it's that potency that draws Robbie to their sides.

With every stare and every touch between them, there is a chemistry that is hard to ignore. I found myself squirming more than once at the powerful lovemaking this trio engage in with each other. It is beyond explosive and yet filled with a tenderness that helps smooth all the necessary roughness.
Thoroughly enjoying the slow build as both Priest and Julien take their time in convincing Robbie to decide he wants to be theirs, made the climax that much more incredible.

Ella Frank has clearly become a go-to when I need my man on man fix. And Robbie is just the beginning (thank goodness) of a threesome of books that promises a very unusual kind of love that I can't wait to explore more. Well worth the wait, I loved every word.

5 solid stars!

I love this book! Sensual! Breathtaking!

I am a huge fan of Ella Frank since I picked up one of her books years ago. The way she writes is always so sensual & breathtaking. Her characters & story-lines are amazingly written to the point that by the end you feel like you were part of the story & know her characters personally. Robbie was no exception because by the end you feel that you are part of the incredible love triangle between the priest, the princess, & the prick.

I have followed Robbie over the years through Logan & Tate's story, but I love that Robbie got his own book. I love that Robbie gets to tell his story with his own words & actions. I have loved his sassy spitfire personality since we meet him in The Temptations series. I loved that we get to learn more about the new lawyer of Mitchell & Madison law firm Joel Priestly. The sensually sexy French chef Julien Thornton.

Now, imagine this sassy spitfire man meets the sensual gorgeous French chef that he has crushed on for years then to find out that he is MARRIED to the pompous arrogant lawyer that Robbie has encountered many times. Each encounter with this lawyer has been hot, explosive, expressive, & ugly. Then discover the huge bombshell that your crush not only seduced you one night, but is MARRIED to the enemy that condoned this act.

Now, imagine these two married men decide that they want you to become part of their lives, marriage, & bed. They pursue & tempt you at every turn. They make it to where you constantly think of them & want to be with them. You finally give in & decide to take the risk to be with them.

This is the beginning of the sensual & explosive love triangle that will leave you breathless!

Can this love triangle work or will it to be too much them to handle? If you want to know the answers & much more go grab your copy of Robbie. You will fall head over heels in love with these three sensual & tempting characters.

I highly recommend this book. It will take you on an amazing ride that will give your goosebumps & melt your heart.

WARNING: Ella is famous for her cliffhangers that can leave you saying the WTF. REALLY? UGH! I NEED MORE!! You will definitely be saying or yelling this at the end! Don't get your panties in a twist *winks* the next book of this series should be released in May. I know I ready for next adventures of this dynamic trio.

So, find your favorite reading place & enjoy the tale of the priest, the princess, & the prick.

Complimentary copy for an honest review

I apologize for the length of this review (and the detours I will probably take) but it seems I have a lot to say about this book.

I have to get this out of the way first…that cover…I NEVER pictured Robbie looking like that but OMG he is amazing looking! I get very distracted every.time.I.see.that.picture.

So, here’s my first detour (there may or may not be more) that I promise will lead back to this story and this review. In May 2013, I read my first MMF book. At that point, I had not read any MM books but I found myself more interested in the scenes in which the two men were together instead of when they were all three together. Same thing in July 2013…I read another MMF during which I found myself wanting to see more of the two men together without the woman involved. In the fall of 2013 there was A LOT of hype online about a new MM book being released in November called Try by Ella Frank. I was intrigued by the talk surrounding it so I thought I’d give it a ‘try’ (yep, I went there). Needless to say, I was hooked. When I found out Cole had a book of his own I HAD to read it (I actually read the entire series and loved it). And here is the whole point to that story: in his own book, Cole was NOTHING like he was in Try. I was so shocked by him in Edible that I re-read Try after reading that with my whole new perspective. I felt the exact same way about Priest as I did Cole. He was absolutely not as I thought him to be…I was intrigued by him but I’m not sure I liked him and just as with Cole in his own book I did an about face with Priest in this book. So now I’m wondering if it’s me or does Ms. Frank do that on purpose? Is that the hook – to make us so fascinated with the ‘real’ person that we can’t help but change our minds? (She’s tricked me a time or two so this wouldn’t be surprising.) Or am I just so wrapped up in the main characters of the book that the side characters that appear are just white noise that I gloss over?

Ok…back to this book. I was TORN over the synopsis of this story (and honestly REALLY distracted by the cover). MMM stories are hard for me. I have read some that I loved but usually I find them to be mediocre or I hate them. What made me dread this one even more than normal is the fact that Priest and Julien are MARRIED, happily so it would seem. WHY would they need a third? What does that mean for them as a married couple? What will they do Robbie? Is Robbie doomed for heartbreak before this even starts? But I HAVE to read this because who doesn’t love Robbie (yes, I know sometimes he was a PITA when it came to his obsession with Logan) – he’s quite fabulous and he really hooked me with his subdued behavior when he first met Priest. And Julien PISSED ME OFF in True and I NEEDED ANSWERS! And Priest was a closed (and I mean slammed shut) book but he dropped a MAJOR bomb at the end of True and I NEEDED ANSWERS! So…I dove in (with much trepidation) and I was very pleasantly surprised…I really liked this book. (I have had a couple of in-depth discussions/debates about this book offline and I found myself defending it, the characters and their motivations)

Priest surprised the crap out of me…he’s actually pretty wonderful. Well, let me pause for a moment…we don’t have his full story, we only scratch the surface with him but the way he is with Julien and Robbie both individually and together won me over. His emotions run deep, he loves with his whole heart and soul even though he doesn’t fully let his guard down. Julien turned out to be more of a pussycat than a Prick (we now understand why he was so temperamental during that time). Their relationship is definitely unique but their love for each other is strong and bone deep. I now understand their desire for a third (although I’m still unclear the logistics and specifics of it all). Robbie is the perfect balance for Priest and Julien, each needing him for a different reason. Their sexual chemistry is palpable. I like them together. I like where this is headed, though I do have SO MANY questions which will undoubtedly be uncovered in the next two books.

As seems to be the way with Ms. Frank we are left with several dangling storylines and a big bomb at the end of this book which I will definitely be reading as soon as it’s in my grubby hands.

The dynamics of an MMM relationship confounds my reasoning…I mean, sure, there are a plethora of opportunities to be touched, licked, screwed, and played with, but there’s also a whole lot of male testosterone, dominate personalities, and overwhelming sensations and feelings to try to commandeer through, which seems too daunting

But if there is one man who can handle two domineering alpha males with his smart mouth, sexual wiles, and flirty ways, it’s definitely Robert Antonio Bianchi or as avid readers of the Temptation series know him as – Robbie – the guy who has lusted and panted after Logan, even after Logan got together with Tate, and what I love most about Robbie’s interaction with Logan and Tate is that they now work together and call one another friends, even when Robbie winds up Tate about his undying lust for Tate’s husband!

Even though Robbie, Priest, and Julien’s story is told in third person, allowing all three of their perspectives to be heard, the idea that that the first book in their story is titled Confessions: Robbie makes perfect sense. Priest and Julien have already invited other men into their bed, albeit in the one-night stand variety only, but they know what they want and how they want it, and now they seem to know what they want it to be with for more than one night and that person is Robbie. But, it’s Robbie who’s taking the first leap…it’s him who has to decide if he can give his body and quite possibly his heart, because let’s be honest, that organ overwhelms him on a good day with desires and emotions, to two domineering men who already have an established, devoted relationship because they are married.  

By the time I reached the end of Robbie’s book, I was left with a ton of questions about all three of these intriguing men, and while some answers are easily provided, the entirety of baggage they all respectively carry still needs to be elaborated on, especially when it comes to what Priest is dealing with when the one person who can give Priest what he needs when it comes to the maelstrom that’s brewing in his head and his soul knocks on Priest and Julien’s door – their princess!

I love the fact that Ella Frank keeps readers in her Temptation series’ setting. Logan’s law firm, Tate’s bar, and the ambiance of the city have already captivated readers with what occurs in those locations and they’re more than able to dazzle new readers to Frank’s world. And while the Confessions series is a spin-off of the Temptation series, fans of Logan and Tate will still get their fix, and in the case of Robbie’s Confession, they’ll get one overprotective Papa Bear in Logan when it comes to what he assumes is happening between Priest, Julien, and Robbie, and let’s just say that Logan is more than willing to beat the crap out of anyone who tramples on Robbie’s heart, even if he, unknowingly, did it himself.

The first book in Robbie, Priest, and Julien’s series was everything I thought it would be and more. These three men have a crapload of chemistry and they complement one another’s temperaments in all the best ways, and while sometimes I wondered how Robbie could deal with all the broodiness from his two dominant men, it didn’t surprise when he set them straight with everything that Robbie is, which is exactly why Priest and Julien felt Robbie would be the perfect fit for what they’ve always wanted in their relationship.

There’s still a lot that needs to be worked out when it comes to this threesome and I don’t just mean sexually; there’s a lot on the line in a relationship of this kind, especially when that includes a bonafide princess and everything that entails. Because while it’s not a question if these three men are compatible behind closed doors, it’s what happens when those doors are blown open that matters most, and readers have yet to truly get a handle on what that means for the priest, the princess, and the prick.

But, I’ll confess, I can’t wait to find out!

4.5 Poison Apples

From the minute the vivacious and bratty Robbie Bianchi walked on the page in Ella Frank’s Try, I knew I wanted to know more about the outspoken, unapologetic young man and boy did Ms. Frank give Robbie everything he wanted and more in Confessions: Robbie. This book was quite frankly perfect; Robbie found two men who wanted him, two men who appreciated him exactly as he is, and two men who despite being married to one another wanted his light and sunshine in their somewhat dark lives. In them he found acceptance, safety, trust, and love and he blossomed.

Finding out that Logan, the man Robbie had crushed on for years married his long time partner and Robbie’s boss Tate, has Robbie feeling unsettled. On one hand he is happy for this couple that he knows has a strong partnership and on the other he wonders if he’ll even find love especially after being teased by celebrity chef Julien “The Prick” Thornton only to find out he is married to Joel “The Priest” Priestly, a man who unravels Robbie at every turn. Drowning his sorrows on Bitter B*tches, Robbie drunk dials and finds himself in quite the predicament and with some big decisions to make.

I loved seeing the very unique personalities of these three men come to life as they began their unique relationship. I truly felt they not only all brought something to the relationship, but brought out the best in each other. Watching both Julien and Joel repeatedly assure Robbie that he was an integral part of their lives was both sweet and satisfying. Seeing Robbie not only stand up for what he wanted, but providing comfort and understanding to Julien and Joel showed there was more to him than fun and flirtation.

I reveled in their admiration for each other, for the intensity of their sexual exploration, and for the trust they had in each other. Let me address something that has been said about this book, while some might feel this book ends in a cliffhanger, as someone who hates cliffhanger endings, I can assure you that is not the case. Is the story of these three men finished? No, but at the end of this book they are together and facing another challenge head on, together…and that right there is why I don’t feel this is a cliffhanger.

I loved both Robbie the man and Robbie the book and I can’t wait to see where Ms. Frank takes these three as this series plays out. Swoony, sensual, sexy, emotional, and just downright wonderful you do not want to miss Confessions: Robbie!

Review copy provided for a voluntary review.

“Regrets only happen when you aren't brave enough to try something that scares you."

Robbie "the Princess" Bianchi has been lonely and looking for his own Knight in Shining Armor. Someone who can handle the real Robbie...mouthy, dramatic, vibrant, and sassy. He is known to be a bit impulsive especially under the influence of alcohol and trouble seems to find him.

Joel "the Priest" Priestly is an uptight, broody, bossy, mysterious, and intimidating lawyer. He thrives on order and control. And he and Robbie have had an antagonistic relationship since they met. Joel loves to push Robbie's buttons and keep him guessing.

Julien "the Prick" Thornton was Robbie's celebrity crush that he became even more interested in once he met him in person. He is a famous chef known to be arrogant and temperamental. But he is charming, handsome, flirtatious, and has a delightful French accent. He straddles the line between alpha and easy-going.

But Robbie never saw the truth of the whole situation coming. And now he is involved with two men he has strong reactions to and is not exactly quite sure if it will be one of his notoriously bad decisions or a good one.

All he knows is that he is curious, tempted, excited, and oh so horny. These two guys make Robbie lose his mind and he does the same to them. They are dynamic and full of power plays. The sexual tension and chemistry between these three is smoking hot. They push, challenge, and tempt each other. They've got their issues and their demons that are still being unveiled. Their true personalities are more than they originally seemed, and they actually see each other and communicate. Not only do they talk, but their flirty and dirty rapport is fun and sensual. Everything about this situation is risky and different, but Robbie just has to decide if he wants to be a part of it.

“We want everything."

Can they find the balance that they all need to be fulfilled and happy?

I enjoyed getting all three of their points of view. I loved Robbie's "confessions." I am looking forward to digging even deeper into their pasts and issues and seeing them continue to progress. I love it when characters surprise me as their layers are peeled back and they are more substantial and vulnerable than expected. I really became attached to all three of them. I can't wait for more with these guys and to see the next two covers because Robbie's is spot on!

5 Stars!!!

Confessions: Robbie is the first book in the new series by Ella Frank, and a spin-off from her Temptations series and from reading this book, I'll tell you that it's one you don't want to miss out on!

Let's start with the scrumptious cover, because it is simply breathtaking and captures Robbie perfectly.

I have to admit that while I was one of the readers asking Ms. Frank for Robbie and Priest's story, I was a bit wary when she announced it would be a menage and introduced Julien as Priest's husband. While I read menage books, I prefer it when the characters aren't engaged in a previous relationship, however, there was no way I was going to pass out on the opportunity to read this book and I'm very glad I didn't.

Ella Frank gave us a fairly original (for me) take on menage. Julien and Priest are not a conventional kind of couple and adding Robbie into the mix made a whole lot of sense once I started reading. These three have the kind of combustible chemistry that you can't help but want to be burned with. This particular installment was the set-up for what's to come and I loved that while there was some sex (yummy, sexy, delicious sex), it wasn't just that, but setting the foundation for their relationship.

Robbie was fierce and sassy and his sunny disposition brought the balance that Julien and Priest's relationship needed. Julien was not quite the prick I was expecting him to be, actually, he was quite sweet. And Priest, well, he was as intense as I expected but not as standoffish as he'd appeared in the Temptation series. It was obvious Priest and Julien loved each other, but they were too much alike in certain areas.

Overall, I'm definitely hooked. I loved the dynamics of these three men together and how Priest and Julien made it clear that Robbie held all the power in their relationship. They really worked well together and it will be interesting to see how it will all progress in the next books. Additionally, I just loved Robbie's 'confessions' at the start of each chapter, they really set up the mood for them. Highly recommendable!

Confessions #1 The priest, princess and the prick ! Joel, Robbie and Julien.
A complex relationship and the path they begin to find fulfillment. Let's begin with Robbie, a cute twink from a huge Italian family, who gets drunk and dials married, famous French Chef, Julien. Julien is married to fierce lawyer, the gorgeous Joel Priestly. We get to see their "baggage" get unloaded as we see the fun unfold. Many discussions, food and drink fests, and inner struggles are shown, while our men learn about each other. Julien and Priest each have a secret, but Robbie is an open book, but afraid of being used and thrown away - again.
Their M/M/M sex scenes are super sizzling hot, and will excite and take your breath away. Yes, they are that erotic, raw and powerful, oh, yes !
Ella Frank's books are so exciting. This one is sexual and interesting as it blends the men together. The next book is JULIEN, and I'm starting it right away. We see previous characters from the Temptation series, but it isn't necessary to have read those first. These tales of our menage group are connected and in sequence to the other.
Highly recommended ! ENJOY !

My little firecracker deserved his own story and I’m so pleased he got it. The boy fell hard for Logan and watching him see Logan and Tate find their happy hurt my heart. We’ve all been there and it’s a killer, and I really wanted Robbie to find someone deserving of him. Little did I know that he’d find two someone’s and this got me all kinds of excited.

I really wasn’t sure how this would pan out as Robbie’s a handful and a half, and Priest and Julien are an established couple, married even, and I hoped to hell they wouldn’t hurt Robbie but as the story unfolded and I found out a little about their pasts, I could see how Robbie could fit and become the last bit of the jigsaw puzzle for them. I thought the story developed really well and I must admit, I fell for Priest quite hard, I love a stoic, quite dominant man who can take charge and is solely concerned about the welfare of his partner(s) but is a little mushy inside (although I’m sure he wouldn’t agree with me on that bit). I also really enjoyed seeing Robbie realise how much power he held in the relationship; he wasn’t just invited in for the sex, he was such an important part of the dynamic and Priest and Julien needed him way much more than he realised at the beginning. The intimate scenes were extremely hot with a ton of sizzle and they didn’t overpower the story, and I liked that they didn’t just jump into bed straightaway – other than to sleep that it is!

My heart melted a little when a certain Mr. Mitchell got all shouty on his return from honeymoon, I’ll not say anymore, you’ve got to read this but I loved this part!

I thoroughly enjoyed this story, there’s more to come as we only got a taste of Priest and Julien’s back stories and I’m so interested to find out more. Please sit back, enjoy a Bitter B*tch and enjoy the Prick, the Priest and the Princess, you won’t regret it.

ROBBIE is book one in the Confessions series. This is a steamy M/M/M menage that may be taboo for some.
*-»WARNING: Cliffhanger!*

THE PLAYERS:
1. Robert (Robbie) is a barista who lives with his grandmother. He has been fan-guying over Julien for a long time and has a huge crush on him.
2. Julien is a world renowned French chef, known as "the Prick". He's married to Joel.
3. Joel, aka Priest, works as a lawyer for some of Robbie's friends.
They all meet at a party and there's instant chemistry. Julian and Priest want Robbie. Robbie wants Julian. What does a man do when he craves one man but hates the other?

Now, I know this sounds incredibly taboo. I mean, Priest and Julian are married! This is one of those "GREY" areas that I don't often drift into. But I'm so glad I did because Ella Frank did an AMAZING job leading me around some potential land mines safely! Really, there's so much more to this story than just some seriously so-hot-I-need-a-fan-sex! I loved how much these three totally different characters balanced each other out.

This one focuses mostly on Robbie and his need to be LOVED and SEEN for who he is. I guess it's human nature to just want to be comfortable with who you are but it's something that's so very hard to achieve. So when Robbie finds not one but two men who help him find that confidence, well, the fact that Julian and Priest are married just kind of fades into the background! But we do get some glimpses and teasers into Julian and Priest's background. GAH...I can't wait for book two!

Told from three POVs with a happy for now cliffhanger (you gotta read it to understand it!). I received, read and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Here's to the Priest, the Princess and the Prick!!

Confessions: Robbie is a m/m/m read and i'll be honest it was so much more than i was expecting!!! I knew these three were going to be hot but DAMN they were Beautifully HOT!!

If you are a fan of Ella Frank then you'll already know we have meet these characters before. In her temptation series but you do NOT need to have read these books before. But i would most definitely HIGHLY recommend them. Robbie CAN be read as a standalone.

"Mon beau voleur de coeurs.....
My beautiful thief of hearts"

I really don’t want to spoil anything for anyone, it will most definitely take all the fun out of watching these three dancing around each other. Because fun and sexy as hell it was!! The best part was simply sitting back, reading and throughly enjoying the interactions, the dynamic's and the smoking hot chemistry between all three it was everything.

Their openness and honesty blew me away it made for a wonderful read. I loved how well Robbie worked within Julien and Priest's relationship. They were good together but with Robbie they were perfect. Robbie was his perfect sassy self and Julien was such a beautiful soul.

"You looked good down on your knees just now." Robbie's eyes narrowed a fraction, and Priest smirked. "You disagree?"
"Yes," Robbie said. "I look good everywhere."

The biggest surprise for me was Priest, he was a beautiful complex contradiction. He comes across as standoffish, arrogant but we get a completely different side to him that will have you falling in love with him.

There's a mild cliffhanger and i do mean mild. I wasn't left screaming at my kindle!! But i am eager and excited to read the next two books.

Five Amazing Stars

I was absolutely thrilled to now read the first book, Volume One, Confessions. Written by a complete favourite author Ella Frank. With this sensational new series seriously M&M delivering deliciously sexual romance to enjoy. One ai can’t seriously put down once!!

Thoughts kept going out Robbie’s head. He was completely bewildered and confused while standing beside his closest friend, Elliot whilst they were inside the bar, Crush. As they both sat and drank their beers. Having conversations will kept looping constantly, without even knowing anything new.

As they both started dancing. Listening to the music. Realising now they were both drunk. They didn’t care about the world. They just wanted to have fun. These two men hugged together, Robbie and Elliott to have a wonderful tonne tonight. Maybe they could try something different for a change.

They both were still so on the outside after Logan & Tate gorgeous wedding. Robbie was still dreaming that he could sleep with them both. Robbie was absolutely obsessed with the couple. Poor Elliot became scared what has happened to you Robbie.

Robbie was now in complete shock. He couldn’t cope with the fact that they were actually united in marriage. How it happened so quickly. Then there were also Joel Priest who also married Julian Thornton too. Robbie was now completely depressed with his life. Poor Robbie adored Julian so much. It was just to much to see him now married to Joel Priest. Who he simply disliked a lot.

Such a marvellous most delicious erotic tale. I simply enjoyed these series’s it so much. Absolutely just loving these sexy, hunky men. A complete
masterpiece from Ella Frank. Congratulations Ella!!

* I recommend this book to everyone!!

After having loved the Temptation series, I wasn't sure if Ella Frank could come close to the same level with Robbie's story. Well, I am happy to report that I was wrong. Robbie is looking to be just as good as Tate and Logan's saga, if this book is any indication. And it's just the start.

Robbie Bianchi's portrayal in the Temptation series only showed the carefully built façade that he wanted the world to see. The flaming, happy-go-lucky, always with a come on man doesn't even begin to show the more complex person hidden beneath. Robbie has been knocked down just enough that he is cautious getting up. Then there is Julien "the Prick" and Joel "the Priest". Robbie didn't realize Julien was married when he met him and certainly not to Priest, who rubs Robbie all the worst ways. The brief intro, prior, for these two didn't leave a great impression but this book changed that immensely. Julien and Joel are both much more than they appear, both hide deep wells of emotions, pain and past ghosts. They are looking for a third to bring joy and light to their relationship and feel that Robbie is that light.

This first book (yes, this ends on a cliff) is all about the opening dance between these three. Learning what makes them tick, what they want and what each brings to the table. It is sexy, funny, intense and will grab you with the same great storytelling that Temptation did. Ms. Frank has a way for weaving a story that makes you stay invested in her characters, caring what happens to them and turning pages way past reading time.

Robbie can be read without having read any other of the previous books as this completely explains everything prior with regards to the main characters, though I highly recommend them.

When Robbie Bianchi appeared in Ella Frank's Temptation Series he was one of those side characters who caught my attention and when Joel Priestley, aka Priest came onto the scene a few books later, the sparks were electric.

The UST in this book is palpable, it oozes off each page as Robbie aka the Princess, Priest and his husband Julien aka The Prick, dance around each other and deal with the obvious elephant in the room - their attraction to each other and the desire the married couple have to invite Robbie into their bed.

That the first full blown sexual encounter (there's other equally explosive minor incidents ;) before it) doesn't occur until nearly 70% into the book demonstrates perfectly how much Ella has put into developing the emotional connections between these three men as well as the lust-driven ones.

I'm not going to reveal any spoilers, this book needs to be read blind to fully appreciate the level at which each man needs something from the other. It's not just a hot menage with three sexy blokes getting their rocks off, there is deep, painful traumas at the heart of the actions of two of them.

Robbie is glorious, Julien switches between French joie de vivre but also deep depressions but Priest is the one who has my heart, he holds so many secrets close inside that his control is kept so tight he vibrates with it.

When things finally let go, the emotional outpourings made my heart pound and the sex, well, let's just say that did it for me too *insert hot flush gif of your choice here* as the temperature rocketed.

The cover is stunning and I can't wait now to see what delights are on the front of Confessions: Julien when it releases in May and discover just what drives this talented and tortured Frenchman.

Everytime Ella Frank releases a new book, I let everything fall to the ground, give up on sleep and dive right in.

Robert Antonio Bianchi is a happy-go-lucky guy. He brightens the day of his friends and is a ray of sunshine in his own very special Robbie way.
And then are there Joel Priestley and Julien Thornton. Joel is a very successful and driven lawyer and Julien is star of a tv-show , celebrity chef and owner of booming restaurants. Both men are workaholics, oh and they're married to each other.
And now the trio's story begins. Robbie and Priest have ties to Logan , yes THE Logan; Tate's Logan. And he's very possessive of Robbie and warns the men off of him. But Julien and Joel waited a long time for someone like Robbie. They chase him and he loves to get chased by them. He knows what he wants, only he doesn't know what he's signing up for when he goes with Julien and Priest. Robbie is brave and takes a risk being with them. It could all blow up in his face in the blink of an eye.
If I had to describe the book in two words it would be Breathless Anticipation.
I want to live in Ella Frank's books and be a fly on the wall.
Robbie is the first book in the Confession Series and let me tell this book contains scorching hot nsfw scenes, just like very tender and touching ones. I read the book some time ago and can't get it out of my head. The characters want to stay with me, and I'm good with that.

Favorite Quote: " ... destiny had a way of giving you exactly what you needed, when you most desperatedly needed it. "
I highly, very highly recommend Robbie and wish I could give more than 5 stars. And I can't wait to get my hands on the next installment, Confessions: Julien - coming soon.

Ella continuously blows my mind!! I mean good lord! Her writing is phenomenal and her characters are always well developed and extremely lovable, swoon worthy and memorable. As always her books never lack in the heat department!! These three are just... WOW!

I am very much intrigued by this wild scorching hot trinity that is Priest, Robbie and Julian. They are well.... bloody freakin hot!!!

I am literally obsessed with Priest! I have been curious about him quite some time and let me tell you he did not disappoint!!!!! Good god that man is intense in the best possible way.

Then we have Robbie. Robbie is sassy as ever and had me in stitches throughout the entire book. I can see why he is exactly who was needed to bring them their perfect balance.

Julian has me swooning and enamored. I was not sure how I would feel about him since he was introduced in True. It did not take long for me to love him immensely.
These three men had my heart pounding and pulse racing.

Secondary characters Elliot and Nonna totally made me laugh out loud. Honestly, their parts were priceless.

Warning! Once you start this book you will literally not be able to put it down!!! I for the life of me I can not predict what secrets these men are keeping. I needed to know more! I NEEDED my answers. I truly love when I can not predict what is about to happen. I was a total addict!!! Who needs a clean house and food to eat?? Not I! And for the record Priest is MINE MINE MINE!!! Anxiously awaiting more because I have a feeling I will never get sick of these three men and all the intricacies.
Oh and I just need to say LOGAAAANNNN!!!!! Ok seriously, you all NEED to read this book!!!!!

I am very much intrigued by this wild scorching hot trinity that is Priest, Robbie and Julian. They are well.... bloody freakin hot!!!

I am literally obsessed with Priest! I have been curious about him quite some time and let me tell you he did not disappoint!!!!! Good god that man is intense in the best possible way.

Then we have Robbie. Robbie is sassy as ever and had me in stitches throughout the entire book. I can see why he is exactly who was needed to bring them their perfect balance.

Julian has me swooning and enamored. I was not sure how I would feel about him since he was introduced in True. It did not take long for me to love him immensely.
These three men had my heart pounding and pulse racing.

Secondary characters Elliot and Nonna totally made me laugh out loud. Honestly, their parts were priceless.

Warning! Once you start this book you will literally not be able to put it down!!! I for the life of me I can not predict what secrets these men are keeping. I needed to know more! I NEEDED my answers. I truly love when I can not predict what is about to happen. I was a total addict!!! Who needs a clean house and food to eat?? Not I! And for the record Priest is MINE MINE MINE!!! Anxiously awaiting more because I have a feeling I will never get sick of these three men and all the intricacies.
Oh and I just need to say LOGAAAANNNN!!!!! Ok seriously, you all NEED to read this book!!!!!

5 TOTALLY AWESOME STARS!

This book is just superb!

I absolutely adored it from start to finish, I even made myself put it down a few times to draw out the experience over several days.

Robbie has always been a fun, sassy, smart character and this first book really delves into what an amazing guy he truly is. We get to finally see into the inner working of Priests mind and I knew he was going to be complex but I didn't think I would love him just as much as I did. He's the totally opposite to how I thought he would be and it was a very pleasant surprise. Julian I wasn't so sure about before I started reading and again I was amazed by how much I came love him too. You couldn't find more perfect characters to compliment each other and Priest and Julian are gonna rock Robbie's world.

The chemistry was hotter than I've ever read before from Ella and she can do steam better than anyone. As much as I've always said Logan and Tate are my favourite I've got a feeling I will of changed my tune by the time we get to the end of book three. These three were scorchingly hot together, their reactions electrifying and full of such warmth too.

For those who are probably thinking that as it's a trilogy there's gonna be some horrible cliffhanger at the end, it totally isn't. Yes, your left desperate for the next book to move the story on but it's left me with an excited, can't wait feeling as opposed to a for gods sake why has the author done that feeling. It's left me desperate for more without wanting to shake the author!

A fantastic piece of writing, enthralling from the very first page. A testament to how talented Ella Frank truly is. A perfect start!

I loved every single second of the experience of reading this book and I literally yelled in frustration at my Kindle when I finished because while it doesn’t end in a cliffhanger they just dropped and bomb and it’s over until May!!! I need Julien’s book now!!!!!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

While Robbie reads perfectly fine as a standalone, I highly recommend reading Ella Frank's Temptation series first - many of the characters are introduced in that series so you'll get a better understanding of the backgrounds and dynamics between characters. That being said, I've actually only read the first 3 books in the series but I will be reading 4-6 asap! I was familiar with Robbie and his relationship with Logan and Tate (though I think I may have missed some since I haven't finished the series), but this book displayed him in such a different light. It's easy to dismiss him as a bratty party boy, but just as Priest and Julien see him as more, so will you as you read the book. I was engrossed from the very first word and absolutely devoured the book - the characters are superb, the feelings are so real, and don't even get me started on the sex! Reading how these men embarked on their unconventional relationship was an amazing journey as was getting to know them, but what is even more remarkable is knowing that there is so much more in store. The author's 3rd person narrative was genius, as it allows the reader to get insight and perspective from all 3 main characters, creating a full and satisfying experience, but still allowing for some mystery. I can not wait for Julien and Joel's books! 5 out of 5 wine glasses.

Having only recently read the Temptation series, Robbie's character was always intriguing to me. He came off as a flighty, shallow and too much into partying at first and then Tate and Logan were witness to his serious and somber side. What brought that change, had been the unknown and was not quite answered in this book. However, it did show Robbie as a combination of these two personalities, a family loving guy who is responsible and caring but also this sassy fun person who can liven up a party as well as a loving duo. (Priest and Julien) We don't find out a lot of about Priest or Julien, but we do get understand why Robbie is necessary to them. They love each other but have an unconventional open relationship which has worked so far, but it seems that they have been searching for a special someone bring some laughter and sunshine into their lives. Turns our Robbie is just the one. Despite his initial reservations around the serious Priest and mischievous Julien, Robbie is able to chip away and make a place for himself in their hearts and beds. ;-)
I have read a few threesome books and many of them are just sex sex sex with just position after position. However this book is very balanced in its approach; its not lacking in the steam factor (fanning myself) but at its core, it is still about a lovable young man opening his heart to the unknown. This book is just beginning of this journey for the trio; although a HFN, Ella Frank has left her readers wanting to know more about Julien and more about Priest and how they will cope with what the world is throwing at them. Can't wait for May!! :-)

Robbie has feelings for Julien. He is tying himself in knots over them. He hates Julien's husband, Joel AKA "Priest". Making sense of his feelings are causing him pain.

Julien and Joel have talked about Robbie. They have never found anyone who fills the needs they require. He is the only one to posses the qualities they have been looking for. If only they can show him they are serious, and he is very much wanted.

Every page was a revelation. There is something for everyone in this book. I loved that is had humor, heat, and hunks. Even has a cameo by a favorite character. If you enjoyed the Temptation series, you are going to love the Confessions series.
