Take by Ella Frank is Book Two in the Temptation Series....make sure to read TRY which is Book One!
Logan Mitchell has always TAKEN what he wants and the word NO is not something that he is accustomed too. This way of thinking has always been very successful for Logan in his personal and professional life and this also worked wonders the night he meets beautiful bartender Tate. Logan in the first time in a long time has found himself in a conflict and he has to make a choice and this decision will force him to take a chance on something real.
Tate Morrison has always TAKEN chances in his life and this one night he took one of the biggest chances he has ever taken and that was in meeting Logan. He has thought it was just simply a physical attraction to Tate but he soon realizes that this is just the tip of the iceberg. He is now dreaming of what their life would be like together which would be the most amazing and beautiful relationship. Now the questions for both men start and will they make it as a couple? Will their own issues and baggage be too much for them to handle? Can they love each other for exactly who they are? Will Logan and Tate have an HEA?
This story starts off where TRY left off with Logan waking up in the bed of the not so straight Tate. I was overjoyed that Logan wanted to TAKE a chance on something that could be amazing and beautiful with Tate. The author takes us on a beautiful view of this new and fragile relationship that they guys are starting. I thought how the author wrote about Tate's attraction to Logan and how new this was for him considering what his sexuality has always been was so brilliantly done. Ella wrote so realistically when dealing about Tate's inner struggle with his sexuality and coming out to his very Catholic family. The bigotry that follows him opening up to his family is very real for many gay men with dealing with acceptance. I was thrilled how Ella wrote it in such a beautifully and heart wrenching way. Then comes the famous ex-wife finding out but it gave Logan more reasons to use his smart mouth when putting Diana in her place, I loved these scenes and was grinning like a Cheshire cat. The coming to terms with being gay that Tate had to deal with was some of the most brilliant and beautifully done writing. His internal issues has so many different variables to it and Ella again got it spot on.
I loved the character of Tate and all his struggles and waiting for him was the man who loved Tate more than anyone else is the beautiful Logan. I completely felt these men so much and their love for one another was some amazing reading. I can't recommend this novel TAKE by Ella Frank enough as it was one of my favourite gay novels in a long time and you will love reading about the love that Logan and Tate share!!!!

TAKE – verb: to reach for and hold in one’s hands or get into one’s possession, power or control.
Logan Mitchell is a man who’s always been more than happy to take what he wants. It’s a philosophy that’s proven lucrative in both his business and personal life, and never was it more apparent than the night he laid eyes on Tate Morrison. After pulling out all the stops and convincing the sexy bartender to give him a try—he’s hooked.
Now, Logan finds himself in a predicament that demands more from him than a smart-ass answer and his innate ability to walk away when things get too deep.
He has a choice to make, and it’ll force him to do something he’s never done before—take a chance.
Tate Morrison knows all about taking a chance. He took the biggest one of his life the night he showed up at Logan’s apartment to explore his unexpected reaction to the man.
Ever since then, he’s thought about little else.
At first he was convinced his attraction was based solely on his body’s curiosity. But the more time he spends with the silver-tongued lawyer, the more Tate realizes that their physical chemistry is only the beginning.
He’s starting to catch a glimpse of what life with Logan would be like, and it’s one full of excitement and satisfaction—a far cry from what he had in the past with his soon to be ex-wife.
Each man will face their fears as they begin to understand the true meaning of give and take. Their feelings for one another will be tested, as will their very beliefs. But now that they’ve found love where they least expected it, will they be brave enough to reach out and take it?

“That’s your truck?”
“Yes.”
“It’s so…”
“So what?” Logan challenged as he pulled his keys from his pocket.
“Old?”
“Excuse me. I’ll have you know I was driving this baby all through college and she still runs like a dream.”
Tate watched as Logan walked over to run his hand over the scratched-up tailgate, and he was amazed that he even made that look sexy. Like he was stroking a lover.
“And it’s a she, huh?”
Now around at the passenger’s side, Logan opened the door and looked at him over the bed of the truck. “Yeah. Jealous?”
Laughing, Tate walked over to where Logan stood with a hand on the door and kissed him slowly on the mouth.
“I’m jealous of anything you stroke like that.”
“Get in the truck, Tate.”
“Or else?”
Logan stepped forward, crowding him back against the inside frame of the vehicle. “You’re not ready for the or else…”
