Yes, this book needs to come with a health warning. Spontaneous combustion of girlie bits! Consider yourself warned.

When I read about the upcoming MM book by the awesome Ella Frank, I was ecstatic. As a seasoned Ella fan, I know the woman can write some seriously awesome love stories, holy hotness sex scenes.... Add the MM genre to her resume? Fantastic! She did not disappoint. I feel like MM has to be written in a certain way for it to work for me...it has to capture the strength, power and beauty of the male body and mind. Add the angsty component of one man being straight, battling his sexuality and it's scorching! Flawlessly delivered! Gah! Fan-girling here!



Logan, bi-sexual man-whore, arrogant lawyer, half brother to Cole in Edible, sets eyes on the new bartender at his local hangout. The guy is perfection! Once he sets his sights on him, he WILL have him. He gets what he wants... But he says he's straight, pushes back all his advances. His anger and hostility just turns Logan on even more. Straight? Then why doesn't he look back at him that way?

Tate, just entering the final stages of a God-awful marriage/divorce is just settling into his new life. New apartment, new job...not interest in dating for now. But in walks this guy in a three piece suit that was made for his tight, perfect body. What the fuck? Why is he checking out a guy? He's straight. When this suit makes eye contact with him, his body reacts and the suit starts his relentless per suit of him. The guy is pushy, arrogant and Tate struggles to fight back his advances. He's got a reputation of fucking everyone that works in this bar. He won't be the next conquest. He's straight anyways. Right? Then why can't he get Logan out of his mind?

"You know what you want to do. There's no one here, and no one is going to come in. Just do it,” he whispered, "Try."


Devoured this book. Logan is relentless in his pursuit of Tate. He's so arrogant but Tate brings out a whole different side to Logan. He's never had a relationship, doesn't stick around but this guy makes him want more...

If you've never ventured into the MM scene, this is a great cherry popper. This was a big buddy read and A few girls had never read this genre. The book is seriously hot but there's a love-story here too. I think the whole GFN thing makes delving into it easier for non-seasoned MM readers. It's angsty and a slow build. Not a quick wam-bam, thank you maham. Logan keeps trying for Tate but Tate resists so by the time he caves to Logan's advances, you're screaming your release, "Yes!"

Tate doesn't share. Can Logan commit to an exclusive relationship? Both are entering uncharted territory here. Tate never being with a man, Logan never having a relationship beyond sex. Can they make this work?

So, considered yourself warned. Find your spouse, significant other, WHATEVER you need to get through this sizzling book. It is seriously panty melting hot.


Looking forward to the future books about Logan and Tate.

Thanks for the awesome buddy read ladies! Even though I took up the rear! (Pun entirely intended)

Ha ha. I'm just adding a few books MM that Ella Frank posted on FB as her favorites. I'd love to BR. You're hilarious. I know...those chicks power read! My m thru thurs. is busiest so it was good finishing it in a couple days. Ella highly recommends...... Double Full (A Nice Guys Novel #1) by Kindle Alexander and Promises (Coda Books, #1) by Marie Sexton . Promises reminds me of Try. Oh and feel free to steal pics of casting, etc. wasn't it you that posted that bear gif? I'm totally stealing that.

Thanks so much. Look at my post above for Ella Franks favorite MM. Hot Head (Head, #1) by Damon Suede was my cherry popper. Hot but more story, less sex than Try.

Thanks Michelle! It was so hot, it borders on my fave MM. Had the storyline been a bit deeper, it would beat Rough Canvas for me.
