Publisher's summary

People are complex. Love a double-edged sword. And when it comes to a broken heart, there are no rules, only time....

For the past eight years, Julien Thornton has been living with a secret. One that only a handful of people know about.

To the outside world, he has it all. A thriving career. A loving husband. And a face that the American public fell for by the millions, on a reality show that inadvertently saved his life. But behind the shine of celebrity, behind the easygoing nature, a crippling truth fills Julien with pain and self-loathing. It's a truth that he fights to overcome daily with the help of his husband, Joel Priestley, and now their boyfriend, Robbie Bianchi.

But unlike Priest, Robbie doesn't know what he's helping Julien to fight. He doesn't know what Julien did all those years ago. And with the anniversary of his sister's death fast approaching, the time for explanations is running out.

And thus the question: Will the princess be able to forgive the prick as the priest once did? Only time will tell.

Great second book

SO SEXY. Great story. Loved it. My only complaint is I wish that the voice for Julien had a french accent. Over all great second book in the series.

Loved it but I want more!!!

I didn’t want it to end!!! Ella, I know you will keep these characters going in your next book. Confession: Priest...perhaps!!
I am totally in love with Robbie! I fell in love when you first introduced him with Logan and Tate. Charlie David has absolutely mastered this character. I want Robbie to be my next boyfriend but I know his heart belongs to Julien and Priest! Thank you for bringing so much joy to my life!!

Au Revoir,

Cecil

Yes to the Prick

When we were first introduced to Julien in the Temptation series I didn't really think I like him. For he seemed like another love interest for Robbie and I loved the thought of it just being Robbie and Priest. For as much as they argued in these books, their chemistry was off the charts. Then, of course, we found out that he's married to Priest and so on. Still didn't like love him until I started reading these books.

I love Julien and not just because he has an accent which I always swoon on. He fills in the gaps of Priest to Robbie when needed and he just loves both men so much. In his book, he is dealing with a lot especially with his newest restaurant opening up and an important Anniversary that he wants to avoid but knows he can’t. So he leans on his two men for help for he has a really hard time handling it.

Let’s talk about his men and how supportive they are. Robbie may be new to all this but he takes in strives. Robbie is really good at being able to read people and he does that with Julien and helps him deal with the past though it’s hard on Julien. And then there’s Priest who have been through this countless times with Julien and is his rock. Julien has said multiple times that Priest keeps the darkness away and makes sure everything is alright.

Also the story. Learning more about Julien and Priest past is always a treat. And learning about why Julien is suffering so hurt my heart. I love how this story wasn’t all about the sex. It was more about connecting and being there for one another. Having Priest actually joke around and tell jokes which reading the temptation series you wouldn’t believe he could. To Julien taking steps to forgiving himself for something he didn’t do. And sweet Robbie is the glue for both his broken men and slowing finding his place between them.

Until the ending which makes me want to read this book even more. Because now where getting to Priest and soon learn why he’s the way he is.

Wow!

I thought the first book in the series was amazing but wow, they just keep getting better and better!! wonderful and heartfelt writing, and the story is amazing. Charlie David does a wonderful job at bringing the boys to life. Sexy, fun, or heart wrenching. He can do it all!

Be Still My Heart!

Sois sereine mon cœur! (Be still my heart!) The Confession series continues with Julien’s story. I loved getting to know Julien more, and learning more about his demons. This was a more emotional read for me than Robbie’s story. My heart hurt so much for Julien as he faced his demons head on. I loved how Robbie helped Julien fight through the darkness and find a way to come through to the light. I loved the progression of the relationship between Robbie, Julien and Priest. I have to say, Priest is the one who really stole my heart in this book. I saw a different side of Priest in this story. It makes me even more eager to learn Priest’s backstory in his book.

I also loved getting a bit more of Logan and Tate in this book! Who will always have a soft spot in my heart.

Love Julian.

Julian is absolutely lovable. And his men are so hot.
Love this series.
Very enjoyable and highly recommendable.

what happened?

the story gets very exciting toward the end of the book then it just stops. no conclusion just stops.

Like the Tumblers of a Lock Falling Into Place

Robbie..Julien..Priest.. (i.e. Ella) Do Not Disappoint. I thought Tate and Logan were the Only Couple.
and they certainly are at the top of my list..but this series is very intriguing...poignant and sensuous.. Ella has proven to be a master dreamweaver..she has set a standard that only a few achieve in MM Romance..insightful..sophisticated...intelligent..heart wrenching..and warming..glorious.. I am a voracious reader..I appreciate Ella's unique characters and how she effortlessly gets you involved..her style is anything but formulaic!! I can see that just like Logan and Tate..Robbie..Julian and Priest are going to be reread..relistened to Again and Again..because these stories are just that good!! ps Go Charlie David!!! excellent character interpretation!!!

Love love love

The narrator did a hell of a good job waw I am so glad I listened to the audio cause it just made the characters come alive in my mind and the story line was just amazing and I was finally glad to hear julien story and how these 3 men made it work for the better of their relationship and I can’t wait for priest. Love love loved it Ella you are a queen.

Getting better and better !!!

Julian, Robert and Joel, still working on all the insecurities that this tree have in their personal life. Robert shining personality is in the middle of confusion, acceptance and trust.
