Review: The Princess, the Prick & the Priest by Ella Frank 5 of 5 stars

The Princess, the Prick & the Priest by Ella Frank
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Robbie knows everyone doubted his relationship, calling it too complicated and too messy — which only makes it sweeter to prove them wrong. Julien and Priest are brilliant, sexy, and absolutely devoted to him, even if convincing his loud, opinionated Italian family is its own challenge. After everything they’ve survived together, Robbie is determined to claim their well‑earned happily ever after… and with his men, there are always a few surprises waiting.

I loved this final chapter in Robbie, Julien, and Priest’s journey with a beautifully emotional conclusion that gives their love the well‑earned happily ever after that they’ve fought so hard for. The story is packed with deep feelings, raw moments, and the kind of emotional intensity that guarantees a few tears along the way. There was absolutely no need to worry about Robbie's family as they accepted their relationship with the same confidence that they accepted Robbie's sexuality and personality. The epilogue was perfect, offering exactly the right ending for them and leaving me with that warm, satisfied feeling that their story landed exactly where it should. And now I’m genuinely intrigued to see where the series goes next, especially with new characters stepping into the spotlight. This was an MMM story with mature content.

Review: Priest by Ella Frank 5 of 5 stars

Priest by Ella Frank
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Joel Priestley — once Joel Donovan, son of a feared and violent man — has spent his life trying to escape the darkness of his father’s legacy. At eighteen he remade himself as Priest, determined to right those wrongs and convinced no one could ever love the son of a monster. But everything changed when Julien, the thief who stole his heart, and Robbie, the sweetheart who lit up his world, became his family. Priest let himself believe in love… until danger reminded him that enemies don’t stay buried. This begins the story of what Priest will do to protect the Princess and the Prick — and how far he’ll go to defend what’s his.

I loved this story and all the drama and emotion woven through it as Robbie learned the truth about Priest’s past and as that past finally came to a head. Watching the three of them face what was forced upon them — each showing their strength, loyalty, and love in different ways — made the whole book feel powerful and deeply moving. The emotions were clear and easy to feel, and I was completely invested in these men and their relationship, hoping they’d find the resolution they needed for the happy ending they all deserved. This was an MMM story with mature content.

Review: Julien by Ella Frank 5 of 5 stars

Julien by Ella Frank
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Julien Thornton seems to have everything — fame, a thriving career, a loving husband — but for eight years he’s been carrying a secret that only a few people know. Behind the public charm and celebrity shine, he battles a painful truth every day with the support of his husband, Joel Priestley, and now their boyfriend, Robbie Bianchi. But Robbie doesn’t know what Julien is fighting, or what happened all those years ago. And with the anniversary of Julien’s sister’s death approaching, the moment for honesty is running out. The question becomes whether the princess can be forgiven by the prick the way the priest once did.

I loved this story and the deep emotions running through every chapter as Julien, Joel, and Robbie continued settling into their relationship. The way Robbie and Joel supported Julien while he worked through the grief and complicated feelings surrounding his sister’s death was beautifully handled — tender, patient, and full of heart. Everything was written so clearly that I could feel and understand every moment right alongside them, and I was completely swept up in their journey. A powerful, emotional instalment that left me eager to keep following these three men. This was an MMM story with mature content.

Review: Taken by the Lord of the Nocturne Court by K.A. Merikan 3 of 5 stars

Taken by the Lord of the Nocturne Court by K.A. Merikan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Luke, a lonely small‑town guy with a rough past, is suddenly claimed by Kyran, an elven prince from the Nightmare Realm who insists Luke is his destined Dark Companion. Kyran drags him to a dangerous, moonlit palace where beasts and scheming courtiers await — and a full‑moon wedding is already planned. Luke fights the allure of Kyran’s darkness, devotion, and seductive charm, but the longer he stays, the more he wonders whether this gilded cage — and the prince who wants him — might be exactly what he’s needed all along.

I struggled with this story, especially at the start — I found myself feeling more annoyed with Luke than empathetic, and I almost set the book aside twice. After taking breaks and reading other things, I was able to come back and finish it. What kept me going was the scene setting, which was vivid and atmospheric, and the descriptions of the supernatural creatures and characters, which were genuinely good. Those elements were the strongest part of the book for me. The romance felt lacking for much of the story, and that made it harder to stay fully invested, but the worldbuilding was rich enough to carry me through to the end. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Robbie by Ella Frank 5 of 5 stars

Robbie by Ella Frank
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Robbie Bianchi, king of bad decisions, finds himself confessing his vulnerabilities to Julian “The Prick” and Joel “The Priest” after a lonely night, a pitcher of Margaritas and one too many Bitter Bitches cocktails. Love and rules don’t mix well for Robbie, and this moment of honesty sets the stage for the messy, emotional story of the priest, the princess, and the prick.

I loved this story and the undeniable connection between Robbie, Julian, and Joel as they slowly worked through what it really meant to blend their lives. Robbie’s caution felt so genuine, and the steady assurances from both men made their developing bond even more compelling. I also appreciated that all three carried pain from their pasts, even if Robbie’s was the focus here — it gave their relationship depth and made every step forward feel earned. The writing was clear, emotional, and easy to feel and understand, pulling me right into their world. I’m already looking forward to the next book so I can understand these men even better and see where their journey leads. This was an MMM story with mature content and polyamory.

Review: Locked In Love by Lark Taylor 3 of 5 stars

Locked In Love by Lark Taylor
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Ash, a vampire with a terrible track record in love, turns to Cupid for help finding the mate Fate hasn’t delivered. When he meets Lochlan — a tall, Scottish water mage waiting for their escape‑room date — he’s convinced it must be a mistake. But locked in together, Ash starts to wonder if Cupid really has found the perfect match after all.

This was such a sweet novella, with Cupid stepping in to help two paranormal men realise they’re the perfect match for each other. The escape‑room setting was a fun touch — playful, low‑pressure, and the ideal way for Ash and Lochlan to get to know one another without all the usual supernatural intensity. Their connection felt warm and charming, and the Cupid‑guided matchmaking added a lovely, lighthearted vibe to the whole story. A gentle, feel‑good read that leaves you smiling. This was an MM story with mature content. 

** Please note that this novella originally appeared in the H2H Paranormal Anthology. No additional material has been added.

Review: The Librarian's Familiar by T.J. Nichols 5 of 5 stars

The Librarian's Familiar by T.J. Nichols
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

August North returns to Claw Lake after twenty years, still carrying the secrets that once drove him away—he’s a polar‑bear shifter, and he’s gay. With his sports career over, he’s drawn back to the Alaskan wilderness even if it means facing his past. Charlie Quinlan arrives as the new librarian, though he’s really there to contain threats from the nearby paranormal prison. When wild magic stirs, the two outsiders are pulled together by danger, instinct, and an unwanted fated‑mate bond. In a tight‑knit paranormal town, they must decide whether belonging—and each other—is worth the risk.

I loved this story. The mix of a witch‑librarian who’s also the last line of defence for a supernatural prison and a polar‑bear shifter who spent years closeted—both as a shifter and a gay man in the ice‑hockey world made for such a compelling, emotional read. All the layers of complication between them, and around them, gave the romance real depth: their fated‑mate bond, their personal histories, and the growing threat facing everyone in Claw Lake. There were great moments of danger and drama balanced beautifully with gentleness, affection, and the slow building of trust. The writing was clear, easy to follow, and full of emotion, making it simple to feel everything right alongside them. A wonderfully engaging addition to the series. This was an MM story with mature content.
