I read TRY as part of my M/M genre challenge for myself. It’s a book SO many of my friends have raved about (especially two of the most important Jens in my life, Jen Oreto and Jen Gerschick) and I feel so proud of myself because i finished it and didn't back down.
The verdict?
My first M/M read and I LOVED IT! I’m so, so happy that my friends picked it for me. Logan and Tate were so charming and I cannot wait to read more of their story.
LOGAN IS A BEAST (in a good way). He lives his life according to his wants and needs. He’s very charming, sexy, confident and determined. When he set his mind to achieving something, he put all of his energy into turning that into a reality. He is very secure of what he wants out of his life and makes that stuff happen. That’s why when the new bar tender walks into his life; he makes it his life’s mission to get his attention. “What Logan wants, Logan gets.”
Tate is the sexy, hot (straight) newest bar tender in one of Logan’s favorite bar. He sure knows his way to the flirting department and uses that as his advantage to get bigger tips. Flirting comes naturally to him but what he didn’t expect is for him to play the same game of fire with Mr. Gin Tonic, Logan. Never in his entire life he imagines to be attracted to the same sex but yet, when he meets Logan, he started to behave differently. He knew something wasn’t right about the tension he’s starting to feel towards him. It terrifies him. His thinking runs amok because he couldn’t fathom the possibility of him being gay.
Anxiety. Fear. Confusion.
Will Tate be able to take himself down the road of denial and fear?
Can Logan help him get close enough to the answer he is seeking and convince him to TRY?
TRY was a fun romance that was perfect for my first time reading a M/M genre. It was certainly steamy but it also had a great story, a great cast of characters and I was definitely smitten with Logan and Tate’s romance — it was playful, fun and passionate. What I loved MOST about this book, even though the romance was wonderful, was the growth between Logan and Tate and the goofy times they had together in the midst of some hard times. It’s so witty and peppered with humor and it just made it such a feel good read. And OH MY GOODNESS! The love scenes? I wasn’t ready for this kind of sexytimes but dang, it was so erotic but tastefully done. And it wasn’t just sex — there was a ton of story and character development in addition to the romance. I liked that a lot because those are the things that I need in a book regardless of the genre. Ella Frank’s writing was very accessible and straightforward which was just perfect! The way the story played out really worked for me as I learned more about Logan and Tate's relationship, their wants and needs, their life in smaller pieces.
I was afraid I wasn’t going to really connect with the characters given that this is something unusual to me but Ella Frank really made them into characters I will love and root for. She has just such smooth and exquisite writing — the scenes that make your heart ache, the amazing characterization & more — it was just all so skillfully and wonderfully written. Ms. Frank surely knows how to deliver bits of answers in a way that you can’t help but hastily read because you really care so much about what happened.
TRY was really such an honest portrayal of the many facets of love as it examines the joys, the doubts, the heartbreaks, the sacrifices and the different nuances and quirks in the love affair between two men. I found myself bookmarking page after page thinking that each line was my new favorite only for it to be dethroned by another. It was a captivating story that and has made me a huge Ella Frank fan with just one book.
As they say, you will always remember your first time.
Always magical. Electrifying even.
TRY is a gem I would never forget. I was amazed at how raw and how much I connected with it. Ella Frank’s delivery was creative and I found her connection to each of the words to be genius. I’d recommend this to lovers of adult fiction who don’t mind to TRY something different and who don’t need to be wooed by the usual plot.
Really enjoyable book to start my foray into the m/m genre.
