He promised to never leave me. But when I needed him the most, that was exactly what he did. Wilderness guide Xander Reed has spent fifteen years trying to forget the night he turned to his best friend in his darkest hour, only to find the young man who'd sworn to always have his back was turning his on Xander instead. Two thousand miles and fifteen years of building a new life in the quiet backcountry of the Rocky Mountains should have been enough to put the memory of Bennett Crawford out of his mind.
Ace Locke is Hollywood's hottest action hero. Women across the globe fling their panties in his direction, but Ace isn't interested in those - he's more of a boxer briefs kind of guy. Specifically, those of the nearly naked male model on a billboard he drives past every day. Though he recently made headlines for his public coming out, Ace is wary about pursuing a relationship, fearing what the court of public opinion will do to his career. But there's something in the model's expression that intrigues him and has him wondering what if?
It's been seven years since Daniel Finley left his hometown in Florida for the hustle and bustle of Chicago's city life.

But that's all about to change.
I left my family and tiny Texas hometown 15 years ago to escape small-town gossips and to give my mom and sister the chance at a better life. But when a phone call from an attorney back home informs me that my sister passed away, leaving me custody of her newborn baby, I'm shocked out of the steady life I've built for myself running a tattoo shop in San Francisco. The thing is: I don't do babies. And I don't do small towns. Or commitment. And I especially don't do family.
I don’t want Jason Vega. Not at all. It’s the worst idea ever. Ah, hell... Jason is handsome. Smart. Dangerous. Hot. He’s goddamn gorgeous - but he’s also sleeping on the street, hanging out with the local biker gang, and selling his body for a living. Our lives, our paths, couldn’t be further apart. I’m crawling toward the light while he’s falling into the dark. But it doesn’t matter how different we are or what logic dictates.
Self-proclaimed playboy, Aiden Vale, has it all - good looks, successful career, plenty of cash in the bank, and an endless supply of men who know the score...that one night is just that. So the last thing he wants, or needs, is to forge a connection that might mean revealing more of himself than he's ready to. But when fate intervenes, putting Aiden in the path of someone who threatens to knock down his carefully constructed walls, he's quick to realize the young man he's become infatuated with is hiding a painful secret.

Blue: When my ex walks into the resort bar with his new husband on his arm, I want nothing more than to prove to him that I've moved on.

The only problem? Turns out the stranger's brother is marrying my sister later this week.
The night I twice rescued presumably straight Ethan Harris, I figured that would be the last time I saw him. However, he keeps finding his way back into my life - and into my bed. Guess he wasn't as straight as I thought. Ethan's full of surprises, though, and being bi is just one of them. As cocky as he can be, he's also sharp and witty and, even when he's being his most arrogant self, he's charming as hell. He likes to win, but so do I. However, as we get to know each other, I realize there's more to us than the games we play in and out of the bedroom.

About when I can be with him. What I can do with him. And when he'll be through with me. But now that Caspian's shown me glimpses of the man behind the billionaire I know it's him I want.

Trust - verb: to believe in the reliability, truth, or strength of another.
Up until now Logan Mitchell has never had much of a reason to trust anyone. Having struggled with a self-identity crisis throughout college, he's spent the years since then creating a sophisticated facade to present to the world. It's an armor he thinks is impenetrable - until he meets Tate Morrison. The gorgeous, headstrong bartender he sat across from only months ago has taken a tight hold of his heart, and Logan is discovering that it's time to let go. It's time to let someone inside.
After years of placing his dreams on hold for his family, Tate has finally chosen to do what makes him happy and follow his heart. The one thing he never would've imagined was that it would lead him into the arms of a man - and not just any man but the striking, never-takes-no-for-an-answer Logan Mitchell. Tate has fallen hard. And as his world is turned on its axis and they move forward together, he finds his life becoming more entwined with the confident, successful lawyer.
Even though neither man expected the other, it's time to trust in their relationship - but not everything comes so easily.
Tate and Logan are two of my favourite m/m protagonists. and Shannon Gunn as narrator does them justice
Ella Frank exposes their vulnerabilities enough for you to real care.
The secondary characters such as Logan's brother and wife, Tate's father are sufficiently developed so that you get their motivation.
This is the third book in the series, best read in order.
Key themes are being true to yourself, fighting for what you need and forgiveness. Don't think that there aren't also great sex scenes and good humour.
Elle, say this is not the end

If you could sum up Trust in three words, what would they be?
Charming, Beautiful, HOT
What was one of the most memorable moments of Trust?
The emotional scenes in the hospital
What about Shannon Gunn’s performance did you like?
Shannon is PERFECT for this book! He throws in inflection and nuance most other narrators sadly lack. And now I hear he's set up a Facebook fan page! We can now talk directly to SHANNON GUNN!!!
Any additional comments?
Check out Shannon Gunn's FB page! It's relatively new but he promises to be on there daily!

Would you listen to Trust again? Why?
Yes. I have more than once, twice... I even listen to all three (Try, Take, Trust) one after the other like one big movie playing out in my head. Love these guys.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Logan....hands down. He's charismatic, bold, unapologetic, but at the same time tender and a tiny bit insecure when it comes to Tate.
Which scene was your favorite?
It has to be the hospital scene when the nurse hands Logan Tate's note..."I want to see Logan NOW!" (queue in the waterworks...)
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Oh yes....definitely.
Any additional comments?
I hated to see their story end, but it ended well. Thanks Ms. Frank for a beautiful story.

More Logan & Tate please. These guys are IT! This series has been truly entertaining, I was offended I didn't purchase the latest audio the minute it hit, I would have pre-ordered. This is the 3rd installment of a really hot and good romance. The sex scenes are many and well done. So much emotion behind them. The hospital scenes made you realize how much you like these characters. Great job Ella and Shannon, feel free to pull us into this series again anytime.

Loved it!! Amazing Job Shannon!! So good!! Even though I read the book awhile ago, listening to it, so different & I cried harder listening than reading, more emotional listening for some reason. This is my 1st audiobook & I will definitely be getting more, especially the ones Shannon reads! :)

LOVE IT
CANT GET ENOUGH
how had effected me
When I heard of the "Accident" without thinking I said

The story on all three books has been captivating, the MC's make you care, from the not so tender first encounters, to their eventual lovemaking (hot as hell 😘👍🏻) it's a good storyline!
