Review: Fit for a King by Brooke Blaine by Ella Frank 4 of 5 stars

Fit for a King









My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nicholas, a reluctant new king expected to marry for duty, finds himself drawn to Noah, the warm, loyal footman who truly sees him. Noah knows kings choose princes, not staff, but their connection grows despite expectations. When duty clashes with desire, they must decide if rewriting the fairytale is worth the risk.

This was a great forced‑proximity romance, starting with a perfect grumpy and sunshine dynamic that slowly deepened into something truly meaningful. Nicholas and Noah didn’t fall for each other instantly — their connection built gradually, layer by layer, until it felt wonderfully deep and earned. Their hopeless situation around Nicholas’s political marriage added strong drama, and the eventual conclusion was suitably intense and satisfying. Nicholas’s brother played an important role in the unfolding events, adding even more emotional weight to the story. A beautifully emotional read with a slow‑burn bond, royal tension, and a finale that delivers exactly what you hope for. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Bailey by Ella Frank 4 of 5 stars

Bailey









Bailey by Ella Frank
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Craig Bailey has always lived by strict rules and a clear sense of right and wrong — until he meets Henri Boudreaux, a mysterious bad boy full of secrets. Henri is exactly the kind of man who could break Bailey’s heart, yet his vulnerability pulls Bailey in. As their connection grows, Bailey learns that love isn’t so black and white.

This story felt like a beautiful exploration of trust, love, and all the shades of grey that exist between right and wrong. I loved that we were taken on the same emotional journey as Bailey and Henri, learning alongside them as they navigated the complexities of Henri’s past and what it meant for their future together. The book was full of big emotions and heartfelt moments, and watching them work through their histories while building something real made the relationship feel deeply earned. A powerful, emotional read about choosing connection even when the path isn’t simple. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Henri by Ella Frank 3 of 3 stars

Henri









Henri by Ella Frank
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Henri Boudreaux has never lived a clean, simple life. As the son of a criminal and Priest’s ex‑boyfriend, trouble follows him everywhere. But things get truly messy when he ends up in bed with Officer Craig Bailey — the very law he’s spent years dodging. Henri’s no good man, and Bailey is about to learn exactly how bad he can be.

This one missed the mark for me. While there was plenty of passion and physical intensity between Henri and Bailey, I felt the story didn’t balance it with enough talking, emotional exploration, or deeper connection. They never really unpacked their thoughts or feelings as they got closer, and by the end Bailey still didn’t know what Henri actually did for a living or the full truth about his connection to Priest. The suspense and chemistry were there, but I wanted more insight into who they were beneath all the heat. I’m really hoping the next book digs into those missing pieces and gives their relationship the depth it deserves. This was an MM story with mature content.

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

The Princess, the Prick & the Priest









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









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









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: Robbie by Ella Frank 5 of 5 stars

Robbie









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: Immoral by Brooke Blaine by Ella Frank 5 of 5 stars

Immoral









My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sent in to seduce a dangerous arms dealer, Benoit Olivier finds himself caught between duty and desire. Known for his charm and cunning, Benoit infiltrates Dimitri Stavros’s world as a performer, masking his true mission with flirtation and flair. Dimitri—deadly, brilliant, and drawn to Benoit—offers him trust, unaware of the deception at play. As the stakes rise and emotions complicate the game, Benoit grapples with a choice: expose Dimitri and complete his mission, or abandon it all to protect the man who was never supposed to matter.

I loved this story with the themes of seduction turned survival, laced with betrayal and vulnerability. This was a dramatic rollercoaster ride from the start to the finish. I loved the way that Benoit was such a tease and flirt and how that broke through Dimitri's walls. This was full of passion and feelings as they both explored each other. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Devilish by Ella Frank by Brooke Blaine 4 of 5 stars

Devilish









Devilish by Ella Frank by Brooke Blaine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lucien Vale, a seductive and powerful ruler of Manhattan's elite clubs, has always found love elusive. When he encounters Kai Daniels, a vulnerable man trapped in a dangerous past, Lucien steps in to protect him. As their connection deepens, Kai's tormentor threatens them both, forcing Lucien to confront his buried instincts and fight for their survival. Together, they must decide if their bond is worth risking everything.

This was an enjoyable story as Lucien rescued Kai but then was targeted by his previous 'owner' and what happened next. I loved the way that Lucien cared for Kai and the trip he was taken on. I was fully on-board with Kai and hoping that this was a better life for him. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Savage









Savage by Brooke Blaine by Ella Frank
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Park Avenue Kings—seven powerful heirs—rule Manhattan from the shadows, wielding wealth and influence with ruthless precision. Among them, Lachlan Stone is the enforcer, the one who makes problems disappear. When he unexpectedly saves Cooper Patterson, a relentless journalist, their worlds collide. Cooper is everything Lachlan should avoid, but their undeniable connection threatens to expose the Kings' secrets. As danger escalates, Lachlan must decide whether to protect the empire he’s built or risk everything for the man who sees through his darkness.

This was an enjoyable story with the two men who were from different backgrounds but had an undeniable draw to each other. I loved that they found a way to be together and achieve their goals without any unacceptable compromise. There was plenty of danger and drama as Lachlan and the other Kings fought against the scourge of drugs in their area.  Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.
