Summary

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?

Loved It!

About to start reading the whole series again. Loved it from the first hour, although took me a while to get used to Shannon Gunn. His voice for Logan was spot on though, and I could just picture him talking like that. Not so much for Tate, but once you get to know Tate's character, Shannon's take on him kind of worked too.

Can't recommend this series enough, I chain listened and really missed the characters after I'd finished, hence my imminent re-read. Shame I can't get any of Ella Frank's other works with a decent narrator, as wanted to read about Robbie afterwards, but couldn't stand Charlie David. Same goes with Finlay. Ella's writing flows and I loved her character development and dialogue between characters.

Logan and Tate develop beautifully together and all the angst they go through helps to cement their total devotion to eachother. About the only thing that irritated me was Tate's reaction to some situations as he's a thinker and a bit slower than Logan to see what's infront of his face. Tate's family scenes were horrendous, and I was glad that his mother was not featured at all after that. Not sure why Logan's nemisis was introduced other than for Logan to see how totally over him he was, as that part didn't seem to go anywhere. Cole was the best support character and I'd like to know more about his meeting with is wife. Logan's mother was just awful but a lot about him was explained with her scenes.

If you like your MM romance raunchy, heartbreaking, funny and devoted, you'll love Logan and Tate.

Overlong indulgent

Interesting premise, stretched out, repetitive in places made this book impossible to finish. Narrator OK at times, but the over-excited style generates an uneasiness and tension unnecessary for a man drinking at a bar through most of the book, who likes to pick up the bar staff.

Did not finish

This is such a slow novel I just could not finish it. Nothing happens, and if they interact inbetween the sex scenes, it's highly unoriginal. The narrator was fine but he had one shortcoming: he can't perform sex scenes. He went so over the top it was annoying, if it did not make me laugh out loud.

Good story, shame about the comedy narration

This story is super hot and really hits the spot.

The only fly in the ointment is the narrator. Narrator, Shannon Gunn, must also be movie trailer voice over guy as well because he has just the voice for it. It was way too over the top for this kind of job.

Also, the way he voices Tate is hilarious and as sexy as my big toe.

I'll listen to the sequel as I want to know what happens but I won't order any more books narrated by the same person. I can't go through it again!

Terrible narration

This is one of my favourite series which I have read countless times. So I thought I would enjoy the audiobook. How wrong I was. The narration just ruins it. I can’t decide if he sounds like a pervert or a comedy act. Logan sounds like a thug and Tate is unrecognisable. I just cannot continue. I’ve persevered for 5 chapters. I was going to make it to the end but the same narrator does the next book and I don’t want my enjoyment of the books to be compromised.

Torn in the middle

On one hand and what I loved about this book is that the plot (or as some other readers said “the lack of”) for me was the building relationship between Tate and Logan. I didn’t need more plot because what held me addicted to at least the first 2/3 of the book was them. The pull and push, the scorching angst, the erotica and the steam. It was great for what it was. Well written, lots of detail on the sex scenes which I love. I could even forgive the occasional cringy moments when Tate was realising he liked all the “wrong parts”. I mean come on. There were moments that didn’t feel believable but not too much in the first half of the book. And the narrator was doing a good job until the end of sex scenes where I thought Shannon Gunn got just a bit too excited with the shouts for my liking ;) but, it was still good.

Where I started getting frustrated was the last third of the book. I just couldn’t get on board with the last argument which was supposed to be “make or break it” and instead it was turned into a tacky, “use sex” to pretend being “outed” in front of your family is not a big thing so let’s just get on with it. And, on top of that, with what was supposed to be the biggest and the most anticipated sexual interaction between them? I could barely stomach it. I think if the author left that bit out this could have been one of those solid 4+ star easy and addictive reads.

Scorching

Best audiobook I’ve listened to in ages - steamy story and beautiful narration. The voice differentiated and suited the characters perfectly,

I hate to say this but…

It was all just sex, or thinking about sex. There really wasn’t any story. I’m not sure if I’m going to continue with the series. Might give it a break. The narration took some getting used too. The voice for Tate was far to deep, but the narrator certainly acted out the scenes.
