Everyone said our love wouldn’t work.
That it was too hard, too complicated, too messy.
Oh how I enjoy proving everyone wrong.

My men are smart, sexy, sophisticated—
and most of all, crazy about me.
The only problem is trying to explain
that to my big, opinionated Italian family.

But after all we’ve been through, we deserve a
happily ever after. And if there’s one

This story made me feel happy and satisfied all the way down to my bones. If the huge smile on my face when I finished wasn’t enough of an indicator of how much I loved what I’d just read, then the sheer number of times I was brought to (happy) tears throughout this story would have cinched it for me.

In my opinion, this was a damn near perfect way for this particular series to end. I loved seeing Robbie, Julien, and Priest in a much more settled place in their lives and in their relationship. There really wasn’t any drama here – not like in the last two stories. This was just three guys madly in love and making plans for forever! *swoon*

Most of the plot simply revolved around Robbie finally taking his men home to meet his family. I loved witnessing how Julien and Priest were welcomed into the Bianchi fold – it was at times nerve wracking, but mostly it was filled with lots of humorous and heartfelt exchanges that left my heart light and happy. Seeing how neither Julien nor Priest really have any important family of their own – at least none who deserve the title – it was truly lovely to see them both be so happily embraced by Robbie’s family.

I adored where this story went with this relationship. It was all things magical, romantic, and swoon-worthy, and it felt like a natural progression for these three characters to make things permanent. And I can’t even mention the levels of hotness and tenderness depicted in their intimate scenes without potentially succumbing to a fatal case of spontaneous combustion. It was just… *unf*

There is definitely an argument to be made that this was perhaps a little too perfect, particularly considering the ease at which Robbie, Priest, and Julien’s unconventional relationship was just effortlessly accepted by literally every person in their lives. I, sadly, don’t believe for a second that this would be the outcome in similar real life situations, but I read romance fiction for a reason, people, and the way these three men and their love were embraced and supported by those important people in their lives was bloody beautiful to witness and personally inspiring.

Ultimately, I just have to sing Ella’s praises for helping me to be more open-minded in my own life, through making me fall in love with these three men and their non-traditional love story. It was a damn fun ride and I have no doubt Robbie, Julien, and Priest will be characters I’ll enjoy revisiting in the future. ...more

I needed something fluffy after my last read but I think I may have overdone it.

This sucker popped the button clean off my fluff jeans. Which *kinda* sucks since nothing really happened during all the fluffery.

Alas I evidently am a glutton and pressed on thinking something would happen but nothing did other than extreme fluffing so I sacrificed my fluff jeans to a lost cause.

I know I sound like a broken record when it comes to reviewing Frank’s works, but she’s consistent in bringing the feels and the smex and if that’s something you like about her stories, then you will have no problem with this lovely conclusion for this trio.

Simply put, Priest and Julien make it their mission to bring the feisty Robbie into their lives permanently, and they do it with all the sweet swoony romance and smexy smex one can imagine.

“…I don’t know if you two are brave or just crazy to take him on for life.”

I have absolutely adored this series by Ella Frank, and in this book Ella Frank delivers the ultimate happy ever after, the cherry on top, the love lottery win and this reader had a smile from ear to ear throughout the whole book. These three stole my heart in book one, and by book four, these three had cemented their place.

I will miss these guys.

.) Priest and Julien meeting the Bianchis was great fun to read.
.) The sex is incredibly hot.

2. However ...
it was all just a bit too perfect and too good to be true.

There are no disagreements whatsoever - not between the three guys (ever) or between Robbie and any of his family when he finally tells them about their three-way relationship. I find it very difficult to believe that in a family of Italian Catholics there wouldn't be at least one person who took exception to it and voiced that somewhat ferociously. Clearly if there was a person like that he or she stayed home. So all the Bianchis are happy, cheerful and totally accepting of what was going on in Robbie's life.

As for the three guys - they are all so 'lucky' to have each other (it's mentioned so often, it started getting to me) and their sexual desire of way off the charts. So way off the charts, I was wondering at one point whether they are all on some kind of sex-enhancing drug. I mean, just a look and tease, a little kiss, and one of them is near coming. (these guys are not teenagers anymore!)
I know, I know, this sounds maybe a bit too bitchy, but it is honestly how I felt. It was all too much, too sweet, too happy and too sugar-coated.

Saying that, I did enjoy most of it in some way, even if the plot is basically like a reality TV show following our trio as they prepare to ... well, not spoiling that.

So, my apologies to you, hard-die fans. Just making sure you know, I still love the guys!!!

A sweet ending for this trio... A little too sweet for my taste?...
Maybe I wasn't in the right mind but I have to say... 6 chapters for a sex scene... Dare I say it... I think it's a bit too much...

Nothing really happened here except their love growing and their HEA happing in a wonderful and beautiful 'bouquet final'

I liked it less than the others but again, maybe it was that my mind wasn't as much into it this time around.

Robbie, Julien and Priest are still hot and adorable and very intense.

"While Julien was all sleek and sensual when naked, Priest was full-on power."

This was a finale that I didn't know I needed, but didn't know I was going to get, so it was the best little "unexpected gift" I got after reading my first Ella Frank series and subsequently falling in love with her writing. Longest sentence ever, right? Well....I didn't know how to say all that. Bahaha! I do know that the love these men share is one to be envied. It's not often you get to see a love like that blossom so beautifully.

Ok, in all seriousness, I was pleasantly surprised upon reading this series and getting an official HEA for this triad was literally icing on the cake. Their dynamic was so smooth and full of uncomplicated love, so it just made me smile throughout this book. They had such a heartwarming mix of perfection. I loved watching their relationship grow and mature together.

As descriptive as Frank is with her words and her ability to bring to life these genuine friendships between all the characters, she is definitely not shy with her sex scenes. They are sprinkled heavily throughout the books, but the fact that it's not flagrant and is valid for the story and their relationship, it makes them meaningful. I enjoy her writing style, and I love her characters. The way they treated each other was bliss. Their world is animated with all the love they share, but the respect for one another is palpable and undeniable. Robbie's sweet mixed with Julien's attitude gave Priest's alpha side something to soften up to - and that is what made the story what it was for me. They all worked well with each other - they complimented each other and provided something only they could to the relationship, and seeing how this love changed them, morphed them into the triad they are today, it came together perfectly.

The only downfall I felt with this one was there really wasn't a buildup to anything. It was a very sweet, from beginning to end, story about Robbie, Julien and Priest getting their finale but there weren't any obstacles to overcome, so it read very evenly. That isn't a bad thing by any means, it was just a very even-keeled read without any ups or downs. Sometimes the inner monologue gets tedious for me in books, mostly because it's overdone and is missed opportunity to actually discover more in actions and not just words, but as it was layered throughout this one, I got a good laugh a few times. Her third person writing flows very well, but I could tell in the beginning I was not in the right frame of mind because I had to read and re-read spots a few times to find out whose head we were in and that slowed me down at first, but I was able to catch up quickly and put myself in that frame of mind to follow along.

This final quote that I'll finish my review with signifies to me exactly what this love is all about. While I couldn't imagine trying to share myself with anyone else, they seem to do it seamlessly and without abandon as if it were the most natural thing in the world. And I walk away from their story knowing that the only thing needed in our world.....is love.

"Most people don't understand us. But they don't need to. We understand. We have from the moment we met."
