WHAT?! -> My actual reaction to swiping on the last page of the book, because that’s right I got hit again with not realising the book finished!

Damn, before I begin I’ll start with this is Book 2 in the Confession Series and should be read after Robbie! This is an MMM series that will have you head over heels, for three irresistible men!

Now onto the spoiler free review! JULIAN follows on from ROBBIE (I capitalise so there’s no confusion these are titles). We get to dive deeper into the relationship forming between Robbie, Julian and Priest along with the secrets.

Julian has a tough past that he has to deal with even today, and with this time of year being especially difficult it was heartbreaking to see him go through so many emotions.

I loved seeing how Robbie truly became to be a light source in this relationship. I loved how that only deepend all their connections and gave out for some well heated scenes, which Ella is amazing at writing!

My heart was pulled in many directions and I had a lot of questions, most of which were answered but then new ones formed by the end. However you’re only left hanging craving more. More of these funny, charming, loving characters. More of how their relationship will strengthen. More of how this happily ever after will actually come to be.

As Julian’s new restaurant is coming closer to an opening, Priest heads back to work along with Robbie, they manouver around real life to deal with their relationship and the pasts that threaten to appear.

One of my favourite scenes from this book was when Tate (a character I love from the Temptation Series) reappeared. Acceptance never gets old and always hits me deep. Seeing Tate’s growth and his friendship with Robbie made this book a quick favourite too!

I smiled, I laughed, I got punched in the feels but most of all I loved… Ella Frank has a writing style that is my favourite where she shows relationships in such a healthy way, that I truly believe that if anyone was to want to see how love should be – it would be just like any of her stories. The characters are real and live feel within you long after the pages end.

I cannot wait to read Priest! Make sure you grab ROBBIE, Book 1 in the series now, you won’t be let down!

Blurb:

People are complex.
Love a double-edged sword.
And when it comes to a broken heart, there are no rules, only time…

For the past eight years, Julien Thornton has been living with a secret. One that only a handful of people know about.

To the outside world, he has it all.
A thriving career. A loving husband. And a face that the American public fell for by the millions, on a reality show that inadvertently saved his life.

But behind the shine of celebrity, behind the easygoing nature, a crippling truth fills Julien with pain and self-loathing. It’s a truth that he fights to overcome daily with the help of his husband, Joel Priestley, and now their boyfriend, Robbie Bianchi.

But unlike Priest, Robbie doesn’t know what he’s helping Julien to fight. He doesn’t know what Julien did all those years ago. And with the anniversary of his sister’s death fast approaching, the time for explanations is running out.

And thus the question: will the princess be able to forgive the prick as the priest once did?

Only time will tell.
