Publisher's Summary

I am complex. My love is all-encompassing. And when it comes to my heart, there is only one rule: Don’t mess with what’s mine.

Until the age of seven, I was Joel Alexander Donovan, son of Jimmy. The man who terrorized a town and made its citizens fear the very ground he walked on. Including me, the day I realized that ground ran red with blood.

At age 18, I became Priest. A man without a past. A man determined to right the wrongs of my father. A man who never believed anyone could love the son of such a monster.

But then a thief stole my heart. A sweetheart lit up my world. And I forgot for a moment you should never turn your back on your enemy. 

And thus begins a lesson to those who would seek to harm: Never underestimate what the Priest will do to protect the Princess and the Prick.

Silence Runs Deep

Priest is the least verbal of this Trio - Julien and Robbie are definitely more transparent. I loved all three of these books - they were excellent - I was skeptical - it's hard to beat Logan and Tate throughout their books, but these books while different, captured some of the same affection for me. Ella is as far as I am concerned one of the premiere male male writers - a genre i've only come to love in the last few years. Logan and Tate - and their Temptation Series cannot be beat - between their growing love and chemistry - taken to the 10th power by Shannon Gunn - Through Robbie, Julien and Priest - I find Charlie David very well suited to this Trio - he does a beautiful job with them - and Ella by writing a different and yet similarly enthralling vibe to Logan and Tate. Familiarity does not breed contempt - I love the connection - between the worlds -and the continuity of the characters - it brings them firmly into focus. I've listened to the Temptation Series over and over again and i've listened to this series twice now - waiting for the final Book to come out in Audible (Ella Please!) LOVE YOUR BOOKS - And as you've probably guessed, this people are real to me - you've breathed life into them! THANK YOU!

Priest Stole My Heart

Ah, Priest’s story was just so amazing. All of the stories of the Confessions men have been amazing. However, I have to say that Priest stole my heart! It wasn’t what I was expecting as I was such a huge Robbie fan. Something about Priest just grabbed at me and hasn’t let me go since the start of this series. Priest’s story was everything I hoped it would be and more. It was all the feels - sexy, sweet, sad, shocking, amazing. I’ve both read and listened to this series and I know I’ve gushed about it in other reviews for these books, but Charlie David did such an amazing job. The narration really made me fall more in love with this series, if possible. He truly brought these men to life for me. I can’t wait for their Robbie, Julien and Priest’s HEA.

Hot and sexy with a touch of adventure

Damn!! It’s nice to return to this sexy threesome! Priest’s past comes back to haunt him and he needs to keep his men safe, Jules is getting his restaurant up and running and our favorite boy learns more about his men.
Like usual Ella Frank delivers a great story with hot 🔥🔥🔥 sex scenes. I really feel like I know these guys. Seriously Frank has a way with words and with Charlie David as narrator the fabulousness increases.
All the stars for this book!! Definitely more than the review option allows. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Frank’s books are the kind you hold off on experiencing because you know the first read thru (or listen to) will be an amazing thing you can never experience again. Oh, I for sure have gone back to hear them again but the first time is something truly special.

This book, this man, these men...

The third installment of this story is by far less full of sex scenes compared to the first two books (but the ones present are, as usual, droolsworthy...), but it it an evolution story so full of feels and action, too, that it keeps you hanging to every word!
And I am so glad it isn't over, yet!

Hate to be rude but.... Narrator is AWFUL

I've tried, I've really tried to get past the terrible narration but I can't. Thoroughly enjoyed the Temptation Series and it's one of my go to's. But Charlie David is a far cry from Shannon Gunn. He sounds like he's got continual cotton mouth, but what I find really sad is that Ella Frank is using Mr. David for most of her new series which sadly I will not purchase. Please consider other narrator's, JF Harding comes to mind, Aaron Sherlock, Teddy Hamilton, Jacob Morgan, Troy Duran. Pretty much anyone other then Charlie David.

I was on the edge of my seat

Wow! Charlie David did a fantastic job making Priest come to life. On the recommendation of a friend I started listening to this series and I'm so glad I did. Priest's book has been my favorite so far even if I was anxious about the whereabouts of my favorite Prick. This audio is one of the best I've listened to all year.

I love the series,five stars and more

The character, the story is very emotional, Robbie is the best to the end, Priest the perfect protector and Jules the best romantic Frenchman, the narrator did and excellent performance he changed the voices with emotion and it was exactly I imagine when I read the book. I cannot wait to end the series. ♥️♥️

Bless me father!

Phew this was HOT! I think Priest is my favorite. He’s such a tough Alpha male who is really a sweetheart. I love him. I like how each book is a bit different. I liked seeing where Priest came from and why he is like he is. Great story with super sexy sexy times.

Finally getting to know the Priest!

Priest has been such an enigma, it was so great to finally get to see the real man behind the carefully crafted facade. We’ve had hints of his backstory in the previous books, but nothing could have prepared me for the roller coaster of emotions his history would take me on.
Delving into Priest’s childhood really showed us why he he became the man he is, and it was heartbreaking to think of little Joel living the life he did.

I loved that this book was just a little different than the first two, with the added element of suspense. Just like the man himself, his book was quite unexpected, in the best possible ways. What wasn’t unexpected was how much love Joel, Julien, and Robbie shared. I just adore these three men. Seeing their connection, their bond, their love, grow even deeper over the course of these books has been nothing short of wonderful. Even though they are still getting to know each other, they are all fully committed to making their relationship work. And that was never more clear than in this book. I look forward to their HEA!

I've enjoyed Charlie David's narration throughout this series, but for some reason in this book it really hit me that I wished he'd given Julien more of a French accent. I think I've missed that in the previous 2 books, but it just really struck me here. I don't know that he needed to use an accent all the time, but I feel like it needed to be "shown" more that he was French. Other than that, I found myself wrapped up in the emotions he evoked, especially during the climax of the story. (No pun intended!)

There should be more

I really don't like this being the end of a great series. There were enough books here that you get an opportunity to really get to know the characters, their relationships, their strengths and weaknesses. I found myself wondering exactly what they might look like if being cast for a movie. In my imagination, they were total eye candy. I appreciated the contradiction in the character of Priest: he is intensely private but also generous in sharing of himself. I loved the ending (and won't spoil it here), but I want to read more about this group of friends.

A thrilling continuation

In this book, the series goes from emotional drama to action-packed thriller. I did have to take a little break in the second half of the book because it did get very heavy. As usual, Charlie David's performance is phenomenal. He's half the reason I had to stop for a bit, because his voice elicits so much emotion, it's hard to not get too sucked in. I'm excited for the final book in Priest, Julien, and Robbie's story. Their love is so wonderful even through such difficulties.

Gripping

Gripping story made even more entertaining by the excellent narration by Charlie David. On to the last book now.

brilliant book 3

amazing as usual, the story is epic and the narrative just adds something extra to it.
